Boom, New Comic Book Day!
Almost 30 years since the last crossover. Now in 2025 and releasing today: Marvel / DC: Deadpool / Batman #1. The crossover you’ve pined for but never thought possible: Deadpool and Batman cross swords and bat-a-rangs as MARVEL and DC unite for the first time in decades!
Wade Wilson has been hired for a job in Gotham City, but will the word’s greatest detective help him or destroy him? The main story starring Deadpool and Batman will be written by Zeb Wells and drawn by industry superstar Greg Capullo. The one-shot will also feature additional backup stories spotlighting other exciting Marvel and DC team-ups from a lineup of all-star talent, including Daredevil and Green Arrow by Kevin Smith and Adam Kubert, Captain America and Wonder Woman by Chip Zdarsky and Terry Dodson, and Jeff the Land Shark and Krypto by Kelly Thompson and Gurihiru.
Spinning directly from the pages of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Casey Jones’ first solo miniseries in over thirty years! Casey Jones was shot by D.A. Hale, he’s awake, and he has a second chance at life. Instead of taking things slow and smelling the flowers, he’s jumping headfirst into the action. Casey is hitting the streets and doing everything he can to protect the people of New York City, but those closest to him think he’s pushing too hard. April O’Neil and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, especially Casey’s closest friend Raphael, are concerned. Things are only going to get worse as a new strain of mutagen starts changing the shape of New York City, and a brand-new villain threatens everything Casey believes in. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Casey Jones #1
Blade Runner: Black Lotus – Las Vegas #1 This all-new series sees the deadly Replicant combat model Elle — aka The Black Lotus Killer — continue searching for answers about her mysterious past. Elle’s quest takes her to the irradiated city of Las Vegas (later seen in Blade Runner 2049), a sand-choked ghost-town of forgotten memories following the detonation of a dirty bomb. There she finds a community of role-playing Replicants, abandoned hospitality models from the old casinos now living as embodiments of ancient Egyptian and Roman royalty. Meanwhile, Niander Wallace, smarting from his last encounter with Elle, has dispatched a seasoned kill team to bring back her head.
Happy Reading!
