Ah, legacy numbering. Sometimes, an issue is Deadpool #15. And sometimes it’s also Deadpool #350, and welcoming back superstars from the past like Gerry Duggan for a back-up story. And that’s exactly what will happen this June as Duggan and Matteo Lolli will offer up an all-new tale in the Marvel Comics issue.
“I was touched that editor Mark Basso asked Matteo Lolli and I to return for a Deadpool short for his 350th issue, and I needed to pause and think about what I might do if I were to go down memory lane. Then I realized it would be better not to go home again at all. I wanted to introduce someone new and fun that could be a gift to the character that was a gift to me,” Duggan said via press release. “With that peek behind the curtain, we’re proud to introduce Kurami Itto, a low-vision tech-assisted assassin that catches Deadpool’s interest in more ways than one. Welcome to the Marvel Universe, Kurami — hope you survive the experience. Here’s to another 350 issues, Wade.”
Along with the backup story, Deadpool #15 will also feature a main story by Cody Ziglar and Rogê Antônio featuring the return of Death Grip — the baddie who previously killed Wade Wilson. But wait, there are more backup stories! Ziglar teams up with Andrea Di Vito for a tale of Wade’s symbiote dog, Princess, and his employee, Doug. And Sanshiro Kasama and artist Hikaru Uesugi deliver an all-new installment of the manga Deadpool Samurai.
Deadpool #15 aka Deadpool #350 hits stores on June 25 with a cover by Taurin Clarke, and variants by Matteo Lolli, and a Marvel Studios Variant Cover with concept art by Rodney Fuentebella.
