Kevin Smith To Write Daredevil/Green Arrow for Marvel/DC Crossover

Kevin Smith to Write a Daredevil/Green Arrow for Marvel/DC Comics Crossover

Marvel has dropped the full details on the original article which runs below. They state:

"The main story starring Deadpool and Batman will be written by Zeb Wells and drawn by industry superstar Greg Capullo. The one-shot will also feature additional backup stories spotlighting other exciting Marvel and DC team-ups from a lineup of all-star talent, including Daredevil and Green Arrow by Kevin Smith and Adam Kubert, Captain America and Wonder Woman by Chip Zdarsky and Terry Dodson, and Jeff the Land Shark and Krypto by Kelly Thompson and Gurihiru. Each story will be reflected by its own variant cover. Today, fans can check out the Daredevil/Green Arrow Cover by acclaimed Daredevil artist Marco Checchetto and the Jeff the Land Shark/Krypto cover by Gurihiru. Plus, feast your eyes on an epic wraparound variant cover by Capullo.

"We're going to all corners of the Marvel and DC Universes, and the creators are having an absolute blast finding the unexpected and unexplored connections between these characters," Editor Mark Basso shared. "We can't wait for the fans to experience the same jaw-dropping moments we are! And we've got some more secret stories in the works, so keep your eyes peeled for more to be revealed!" "This has been surreal to say the least!" Zdarsky said. "Captain America and Wonder Woman are the best their worlds have to offer, both warriors for peace. Getting to explore a dynamic and history between them has been genuinely exciting." "Two ICONS meeting for the first time!" Thompson said. "It's such an honor for Jeff to get to be Marvel's ambassador in this crossover story with Krypto. Anyone who loves comics knows how rare it is for DC and Marvel to crossover, so Jeff getting to be part of this historic moment with Krypto, and Gurihiru and I getting to bring that tale to readers… well, sometimes this job is very cool."

Marvel Comics' September 2025 solicits have dropped, leading with their Deadpool/Batman crossover credited to Zeb Wells and Greg Capullo, but Bleeding Cool has already told you that Kevin Smith, Chip Zdarsky, Kelly Thompson, Adam Kubert, Terry Dodson and Gurihiru will be part of the creative team. But now we know more. Namely that the other creators will have their own Marvel/DC crossovers as back-up strips to Deadpool/Batman. And they will be;

• Captain America/Wonder Woman by Chip Zdarsky and Terry Dodson
• Daredevil/Green Arrow by Kevin Smith and Adam Kubert
• Jeff the Land Shark/Krypto by Kelly Thompson and Gurihiru

Movie writer/director/star Kevin Smith has two notable runs on both Daredevil and Green Arrow. Kelly Thompson co-created Jeff The Land Shark, and both Jeff and Krypto have had significant multi-media boosts of late.

And DC Comics will be publishing Batman/Deadpool by Grant Morrison and Dan Mora, in November. There will be more new Marvel/DC or DC/Marvel one-shots arriving sometime in 2026. Bleeding Cool broke the Marvel/DC story out of ComicsPRO earlier in the year.

"After writing Amazing Spider-Man for 60 issues, I told Marvel I needed a break. Marvel told me I could do that or I could write a comic starring Deadpool and Batman with the best Batman artist of our generation. I no longer needed a break. In Batman we've found someone who has even less time for Deadpool's antics than Wolverine, but a city-wide threat from the Joker makes strange bedfellows (literally, if Deadpool had his way). It's been a blast letting Deadpool loose in Gotham City and watching what happens." – Zeb Wells

"Am I dreaming? This crossover is likely to be the high point of my career…and, I've had a great career. Some of my earliest work (many years ago) was on X-Force, so Deadpool and I go way back. More recently, I spent 10-plus years drawing Batman at DC. The idea that I get to do a crossover event with Deadpool and Batman…If I am dreaming, please don't wake me!" – Greg Capullo
