With Deadpool/Wolverine dominating the box office for the past several months, it should come as no surprise that this superhero Odd Couple pairing has seen a resurgence in Marvel's comic book universe as well.
As mentioned, this new series serves as a reunion for Percy and Cassara, as the two previously explored Wolverine's misadventures as part of the Krakoa-era X-Force squad. Unsurprisingly, Percy was thrilled to be able to rekindle that partnership with Deadpool/Wolverine.
Josh and I really hit it off when we were working together on X-Force and became great friends," Percy tells IGN. "When he made the jump to X-Men, it was honestly a little traumatic for us both—but if you get the opportunity to draw a flagship title, you have to go for it. And he drew the living **** out of that series. We never stopped texting or hanging out at cons. We’re always trading stupid jokes (and many hundreds of Arnold Schwarzenegger GIFs). I even helped his wife locate one of the elusive 12-foot Home Depot skeletons recently, so we’ll both be celebrating Halloween like bosses. This is all to say: we were both so damn excited to get the band back together. Deadpool/Wolverine is us cartwheeling onto the stage and shredding our guitars once more while smoke machines churn and pyrotechnics explode all around us.
