When Batman/Deadpool #1 arrives in November from DC Comics, be on the lookout for new variant covers featuring team-ups you hope will happen, and some that will – including a team-up between Doctor Strange and Constantine.
What happens when the World’s Greatest Detective meets the Merc with a Mouth? Reality folds in on itself. Archetypes collide. Darkseid is. And, somewhere between Apokolips and Earth-TRN666, a sentient street named Danny hums show tunes about a crusading cape!
But DC’s Batman/Deadpool #1 isn’t just a comic book crossover between iconic publishers, it’s a metaphysical car crash between two storytelling philosophies. One character broods in the shadows of trauma and justice. The other cartwheels through chaos, breaking the fourth wall and occasionally the laws of physics. Together, they’re forced to confront a threat that doesn’t just endanger their worlds—it questions their very existence as fictional constructs.
Grant Morrison and Dan Mora take on the main story, which is quite impressive on its own. Still, in addition to the main story, Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Joshua Williamson, Hayden Sherman are teaming for a Constantine meets Doctor Strange story, while Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo see Nightwing and Laura Kinney Wolverine team.
Mariko Tamaki and Amanda Conner unleash chaos and charisma in a riotous Harley Quinn vs. Hulk showdown, while G. Willow Wilson and Denys Cowan electrify the page with a high-voltage tale starring Static and Ms. Marvel.
And then there are the variant covers…
Batman/Deadpool #1 will feature an extraordinary lineup of cardstock variant covers, including a wraparound blank blue cardstock sketch variant cover with the Batman/Deadpool logos and a foil variant of Dan Mora’s main cover, all retailing $8.99 US, from some of the most iconic and inventive artists in comics:
