Five Comics You Should Read Before Reading Batman/Deadpool

Five Comics You Should Read Before Reading Batman/Deadpool In Two Weeks Time

Batman/Deadpool by Grant Morrison and Dan Mora will be published on the 19th of November. And because this is Grant Morrison we are talking about, it is unlikely to be a bit more… involved than the previous Deadpool/Batman. So here are five comics you should try to read before picking it up. Now, some of this may be considered spoilers, of course, and odds are you will have read a number of these before; it's entirely your decision.

1. Deadpool/Batman (2025) by Zeb Wells and Greg Capullo. The Marvel side of this crossover equation saw Deadpool hired to assassinate Batman by the Joker. It does come up.
2. Animal Man #19-25 (1989) by Grant Morrison and Chas Truog. In which Buddy Baker, Animal Man, under the influence of peyote, sees the comic book's reader, breaking the fourth wall and falling out of reality. Then Grant Morrison meets Animal Man in the comic itself, talking about their struggles writing the comic book, their own personal life, and the trouble they have heaped on Buddy Baker.
3. Suicide Squad #58 (1991) by John Ostrander, Kim Yale and Geof Isherwood. A new character, The Writer, clearly inspired by Grant Morrison's Animal Man, joins the squad.  In the middle of the war against Circe's army, the Writer was not able to write quickly enough and was killed by a Beastiamorph.
4. New X-Men #114-#126: E For Extinction by Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely, Ethan Van Sciver, Igor Kordey. Cassandra Nova, twin sister/mummudrai of Professor X, responsible for the massacre of 16 million mutants on the mutant homeland Genosha, the character made her live-action debut in the Deadpool & Wolverine movie portrayed by Emma Corrin. Created by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, Batman/Deadpool will see Morrison's return to the character, however briefly…
5. DC/Marvel Amalgam (1996) – there will be at least one character from Amalgam appearing in Batman/Deadpool. Odds are its the Wolverine Batman mashup Dark Claw… first appearance DC vs Marvel#3.

Batman/Deadpool by Grant Morrison and Dan Mora will be published on the 19th of November, in comic book stores, delayed a month digitally.
