As part of this year’s 616 Day, Marvel Comics proudly unveiled “BIG GUNS,” a four-part crossover kicking off this September in Benjamin Percy and Geoff Shaw’s WADE WILSON: DEADPOOL and Percy and José Luis Soares’ PUNISHER.
Both acclaimed runs have returned Marvel’s two trigger-happy icons to their roots with uncompromising, no-holds-barred storytelling, aligning the fates for this dangerous and ultra-violent showdown!
Percy said about the crossover:
“When you’re writing The Punisher, and you’re writing Deadpool—two street-level characters with opposite personalities—the math works itself out.”
“I had to bring them together. Violently. Get ready for non-stop mayhem, the re-invention (and glow-up) of a classic villain, and the introduction of the Merc-mobile (a rolling HQ I’m pretty damn excited about) as well as a new weapon that will change the 616 forever. Unlike Frank and Wade—who naturally despise each other—Geoff Shaw and José Luis are a perfect pairing, the best pens drawing the biggest guns.”
The saga kicks off when Deadpool’s latest mess puts him in the crosshairs of the Punisher. Just as the Merc with a Mouth takes on one of the most high-stakes jobs of his career, Frank Castle seeks to settle the score—igniting a relentless clash of bullets, bloodshed, and mayhem that neither man will walk away from unscathed!
Check out Geoff Shaw and David Marquez’s WADE WILSON: DEADPOOL #8 and PUNISHER #8 covers, along with the first half of Josemaria Casanovas’ four-part connecting variant covers.
