Marvel Comics has released a first look at Deadpool's nuptials, which will be documented in full in the super-sized Deadpool #27, which chronicles the transition from "Merc With a Mouth" to "Merc in Matrimony" with stories by current Deadpool scribes Gerry Duggan & Brian Posehn as well as additional new stories from an all-star collection of previous Deadpool writers including Fabian Nicieza, Mark Waid, Joe Kelly, Christopher Priest, Jimmy Palmiotti, Frank Tieri, Gail Simone, Daniel Way, and Victor Gischler.
Don’t expect a traditional wedding, after all our wisecracking hero isn’t marrying any ordinary lady--his bride Shiklah is an ancient and royal succubus (see "Meet Deadpool’s Fiancee"), so Wade Wilson is in for a ceremony that will stretch the definition of marriage in an entirely new direction.
"We’re complicating his life and we’ll be pulling him in different directions," said current Deadpool writer Gerry Duggan. "I think that’s something everyone can relate to, and will lead to some more fun comic books."
In addition to the wedding saga written by Duggan & Posehn, an all-star collection of previous Deadpool scribes will provide new stories, with an equally impressive collection of artists including Mike Hawthorne, Scott Koblish, Scott Hepburn, John McCrea, Paco Medina, Niko Henrichon, John Timm, Dexter Soy, Alvin Lee, Carlo Barbieri, and Bong Dazo providing interior art.
Scott Koblish will provide the main cover, while Mark Brooks contributes a variant, Matthew Waite chips in with a special "Taco Time" variant, and Art Adams adds a brilliant 1930s-style 27th Anniversary Retro Variant.
