DEADPOOL: TIL DEATH DO US…

By Jesse Stillman The Page 12/20/2016

Beginning in March 2017, and spilling in to April, will be a 3-part crossover story arc starring Deadpool and Shiklah. The story will begin in Deadpool issue #28, carry over to Spider-man / Deadpool # 15 and conclude in the pages of Deadpool & The Mercs For Money # 9. All three covers, seen above, were beautifully done by Reilly Brown.

On Reilly Brown’s Tumblr page, he shared the amazing black and while line work for the three cover connecting artwork:

The team, which includes Reilly Brown and Gerry Duggan (You also have Scott Koblish, Christopher Hastings, Josh Corin and Salva Espin) sat down with Marvel.Com to talk about this upcoming Deadpool-centric event.

Gerry Duggan; “This is not the first time they’ve fought and I think we’ve shown that when they are fighting that actually excites Shiklah. Everyone knows the sort of couple that loves to fight and this is the couple that loves to fight.” Duggan goes on to say; “Deadpool has been up and down with Shiklah for a long time now and what really starts the story off is about humans and monsters, no surprise, not being the best of neighbors. Shiklah has responsibilities as the monarch of the monster metropolis and that brings her into conflict with the surface world.”

In regard to Spider-man appearing in the story, Editor Jordan White says; “Shiklah is definitely making a bit of a ruckus and that attracts people’s attention … hey are people he has a pretty close relationship with. In SPIDER-MAN/DEADPOOL, him and Spidey have actually—well Deadpool has always liked Spidey a lot, but Spidey is almost starting close to respecting him which is interesting.”

Gerry Duggan gave a big compliment to Reilly Brown, the cover artist when he said; “Reilly who originated Shiklah is doing amazing work on the covers. Tremendous, tremendous work.”

Deadpool’s whirlwind romance with Shiklah was one of the most exciting times of his life. Traveling across the world, fighting all sorts of threats at her side, and finally marrying her as a way to thwart the evil vampire lord, Dracula. But since then, the reality has set in. Shiklah is a demon succubus, and more than that, the Queen of the monster kingdom hidden beneath Manhattan…and the problems between them continue to pile up.

Now, when an affront to Shiklah’s people demands justice, a line is crossed. As the Monster Metropolis declares war on the surface world, Deadpool must choose between the wife to whom he’s pledged himself and the role he’s been crafting for himself as a hero. Also featuring Spider-Man and the Mercs for Money, this is one domestic dispute that’s really going to break some things up.
