Grant Morrison’s Batman/Deadpool #1 Draws Raves as DC/Marvel Relaunch Rolls On

The release marks a rare DC–Marvel pairing renewed for a continuing slate of specials.

Overview

  • DC/Marvel: Batman/Deadpool #1 arrives as an anthology led by a main story from Grant Morrison with art by Dan Mora, colors by Alejandro Sánchez, and letters by Todd Klein.
  • Critics highlight a boldly metafictional, fourth wall–bending central tale that plays with comic book realities without treating plot as the point.
  • Four brief backups pair marquee heroes across publishers: Constantine with Doctor Strange, Nightwing with Laura Kinney, Hulk with Harley Quinn, and Ms. Marvel with Static.
  • Reviewers praise Mora’s detailed visuals and Sánchez’s varied palettes, noting a polished presentation across tones and settings.
  • Early reception is strong, including a 4.5/5 from ComicBook.com, with a frequent caveat that the backup stories feel too short, and a Superman/Spider-Man special is reported for next year.
