JW: Another fan question that I get a lot is to ask what Spider-Man would think of Shiklah and my usual response is to say, 'I don't think he would like her very much because he's a good guy and she's a demon.' What role do Spider-Man and the Domino's Mercs for Money play in this crossover? Are they happy to help, or are they annoyed that they've been dragged into Deadpool's personal problems? (Photo: Reilly Brown, Marvel Entertainment) They're really terrific, he's doing a great job on those. Three the first month and three the second month. JW Reilly Brown, the artist who first drew Shiklah in Deadpool: The Gauntlet, is doing the covers across the crossover and with connecting covers for each month. It's neat to be able to collaborate with other writers on Deadpool. Also, we've had this planned for so long that it was easy enough to be able to coordinate this and we're having a lot of fun. GD: With regards to how it has an old time X-Men crossover feel, I think it was just easier to coordinate that move across books and not feel like you were upsetting anyone else's story. He's stepping in and writing the Deadpool and the Mercs for Money issues with artist Iban Coello, who is the regular artist of Deadpool and the Mercs for Money.Īll three of these guys are super funny, but also able to write awesome action sequences and hopefully, hit you in the emotions as well. With Deadpool and the Mercs for Money, originally the intention had been for Cullen Bunn to write these issues, but unfortunately he got busy because he's just got so many different things he's working on, so we turned to Gwenpool writer Christopher Hastings who has been doing such an amazing job for us on Gwenpool. His issues are going to be drawn by Scott Koblish who's been a long time collaborator with us on Deadpool. JW: The Spider-Man/Deadpool issues are going to be written by Joshua Corin who wrote Deadpool Too Soon mini-series recently and also he's writing the Spiderman/Deadpool Monsters Unleashed issue that's about to come out in about a month or so. Also, because it would be more fun to get Spide-Man and get the Mercs for Money involved in such a big brouhaha.Īs for the creative teams, Gerry is writing the Deadpool issues and artist Salva Espin is drawing those, whose been a Deadpool artist with me for ages now. It's such a big deal in Deadpool's life that it would affect all aspects of it. JW: Mostly because we just wanted to make this such a big story. Why did you decide to use the structure of the old X-Men crossover for 'Till Death Do Us.'? What other creators are involved? It'll be wrapped up before 'Til Death Do Us.' happens, so you'll know the outcome of what's going on with Deadpool's daughter Warda and 'Old Man Wade.' I think it's more that knowing that's where it's all going to end up will kind of inform how you read 'Till Death Do Us.' That story has been going since Deadpool #6. JW: Our big 2099 story wraps up in the oversized Deadpool #25. That doesn't mean you can't throw down with someone and still love them and in fact, maybe that was the point of Civil War. Without spoiling anything we all know that they're, even on the cover, in a big conflict here, but this is step one in a long battle for them. GD: In the terms of our times, this is sort of the Rogue One of that. How much does 'Til Death Do Us.' illuminate the events of the 'Deadpool 2099' story? You know, he's a guy who one day will say and think one thing and the next day it's the opposite and it's the definition of a wonderful 'Sid and Nancy' relationship for the Marvel Universe. GD: Look Deadpool has killed everything that's walked or crawled at one point. She wouldn't be so mean to him.' I'm like, 'Mm, okay.' This is terrible.' I always will say to them, 'Well, you know, she's a demon.' They're like, 'No way, she's super nice. JW: It's fun because she's a character that I love and I love having in the book, but I've gotten fans who can get very passionate about her writing to me, saying to me whenever they hit any road bumps in their relationship, being like, 'Oh, what are you doing? You're destroying their relationship. This is definitely the deepest valley that Deadpool and Shiklah have navigated. We're playing the super long game, where there are peaks and valleys. Whatever happens here, we do know there is a reconciliation. But we know that Warda is the daughter of Shiklah in 2099.
