Article Summary

Deadpool/Batman #1 hits a rare fourth printing, confirming it as a massive 2025 comic book sensation.
Zeb Wells and Greg Capullo headline the Marvel/DC crossover, with new cover variants in each print run.
The comic features main and backup stories, including Daredevil/Green Arrow and Captain America/Wonder Woman.
Future DC and Marvel crossovers teased, with Superman/Spider-Man launching next year by top creators.

It looks like it will have been the biggest selling comic book of the year, certainly of those without a blind bag promotion. Deadpool/Batman by Zeb Wells and Greg Capullo is now going to its fourth printing in 2026, scheduled for the 18th of February with an as-yet-unseen new cover variant from an unknown artist with a 1:25 variant. A third printing with virgin and recoloured versions of the original covers was published on the 11th of December, but it seem that even that was not enough to mop up the clear demand… Deadpool/Batman from September was the first of a new wave of Marvel/DC Comics crossover, followed in November by DC Comics's Batman/Deadpool by Grant Moprrison and Dan Mora. Next year will see DC Comics publish Superman/Spider-Man by Mark Waid and Jorge Jiménez, Tom King and Jim Lee, Matt Fraction and Steve Lieber, Gail Simone and Belén Ortega, Christopher Priest and Daniel Sampere, Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott, Jeff Lemire and Rafa Sandoval to be followed by Marvel's Spider-Man/Superman later in the year. And more to come, no doubt. X-Men and Titans have been left off the table so far..
