It's happening. In just three days, Deadpool/Batman #1 finally hits comic shops (September 17), and honestly, I still can't believe we're actually getting a Marvel/DC crossover again.

The one-shot brings together the Merc with a Mouth and the Dark Knight, with Zeb Wells writing and Greg Capullo on art - and that's already enough to make this worth picking up. But the extras really seal the deal: backup stories from Kevin Smith and Adam Kubert (Daredevil/Green Arrow), Chip Zdarsky and Terry Dodson (Captain America/Wonder Woman), and Kelly Thompson and Gurihiru (Jeff the Land Shark/Krypto). That last one alone could carry the issue for me.

And then there are the covers. Oh man, the variant covers are everywhere - some gorgeous, some chaotic, all of them totally collectible. Deadpool wielding the Infinity Gauntlet. Batman brawling Wolverine. Captain America and Wonder Woman side by side. It's the kind of multiverse madness only comics can get away with.

So yeah - the crossover we never thought possible is actually real, and it's landing this week. Whether you're a Marvel diehard, a DC loyalist, or just someone who loves comic book weirdness, Deadpool/Batman #1 is almost here.

Grab it, read it, argue about it online (blah blah prep time, blah blah healing factor). This is going to be one of those issues people talk about for years.
