Deadpool and Wolverine Star in Weapon X-Traction Backup Story Series This Summer

It's the summer of pop culture's favorite enemies: Deadpool and Wolverine! Just in time for the highly anticipated Marvel Studios film Deadpool and Wolverine film in July, a special new team-up saga unfolds this summer across eight Marvel titles as bonus backup stories! Written by Ryan North (Fantastic Four) and drawn by Javier Garrón (Avengers), X-Traction Weapon starts in July The Incredible Hulk #14 and continues through August in various issues of the ongoing ongoing series. Fans will also discover that each issue containing an episode of the saga will have a special variant cover.

The Incredible Hulk Issue #14 will have a teaser variant cover that uses Garrón's promotional art for the story, while the remaining titles with X-Traction Weapon The backup stories will have covers with artwork in honor of the upcoming film and drawn by some of the industry's hottest artists, including Steve McNiven, Ryan Stegman, Jorge Molina, Cafu, Declan Shalvey and David Nakayama.

Without increasing the price of the selected numbers, the X-Traction Weapon backup stories will give readers a dose of Wolverine/Deadpool action at no extra cost! Longtime comic book readers know all too well that Deadpool and Wolverine together make up some of the craziest misadventures ever told in the Marvel Universe. X-Traction Weapon will be no exception with a weary Wolverine and a clingy Deadpool on an epic journey across the Multiverse, battling zombies and gun-wielding librarians and, of course, each other! Violent, crude, and chaotic, it's also perfect for new fans looking for a solid introduction to the comic book storytelling behind these two icons.

On writing this thrilling saga, North said: “Javier is an incredibly talented artist, and he absolutely manages to find the fine balance between comedy, violence and big, important feelings that are the hallmarks of Deadpool. Taking him and Wolverine across the multiverse as they try to save everything – and not kill each other at the same time – has been a delight. The fact that this story appears in tons of different Marvel comics in 5-page chunks has also been a fun challenge: I like me as a formalist comic, and this is like a series of shorts that add up also a feature film. I really think it's something special!

Check out the new variant covers and pre-order all eight chapters at your local comic shop.
