Frankly, what more do you need to know besides the title and maybe seeing the cover to realize that this is all kinds of fun? Come September, Marvel is releasing a four issue miniseries – with an issue zero – for Hawkeye Vs Deadpool. The series is coming from Deadpool writer Gerry Duggan and artist Matteo Lolli!
“There is a real threat,” says series writer Gerry Duggan, in an interview with Marvel.com. “There’s a very important thumb drive that’s missing, containing details on the personal and family lives of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. When different organizations hear about this, it becomes a bit of a dog pile.”
“There’s an expectation, too, with a title like HAWKEYE VS. DEADPOOL, that there will be a confrontation between these two,” continues Duggan. “I think we make that happen in a smart way. It’s not the same old take on the misunderstanding that often sends two heroes into conflict. We have a twist on that.”
Plot concept: Long ago, champions emerged to fight the evil that plagued humanity. Champions that fought for salvation, for all that was good and just in the world. Kind, generous and self-sacrificing – they were heroes. These are not those heroes… Who will win in this titanic clash of Avenger & X-Man? Two men enter. One man leaves. Then shortly after, the other man leaves! It all kicks off this September in HAWKEYE VS. DEADPOOL #0!
HAWKEYE VS. DEADPOOL #0 (of 4) (JUL140686)
