The press release follows:

Media Release -- Just now at the Retailer Panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel Comics unveiled new variant covers by Russell Dauterman, Daniel Warren Johnson and Frank Miller for DEADPOOL/BATMAN #1, the Marvel/DC crossover one-shot hitting stands on September 17 that will be followed by BATMAN/DEADPOOL #1, a one-shot published by DC in November. Both comics will feature explosive main stories that pit Marvel’s Merc with a Mouth against DC’s Caped Crusader along with backup stories starring additional Marvel/DC team-ups and showdowns.

Superstar Russell Dauterman newly revealed variant cover, an homage to George Pérez’s Infinity Gauntlet #1, spotlights many of these tales including one also announced at the panel that features Rocket Raccoon and Green Lantern, written by mastermind cosmic storyteller Al Ewing and drawn by acclaimed artist Dike Ruan.

“The pairing of Rocket Raccoon and Green Lantern felt very random when I was assigned it, but you can chart a line between any two characters that'll take you through a kaleidoscope of connections between one universe and the other - and that's what we've done," shared Ewing.

Other DEADPOOL/BATMAN #1 variant covers showcased at today’s Retailer Panel come from acclaimed artist Daniel Warren Johnson and industry legend Frank Miller. In addition to his cover, Miller will be writing and drawing a backup story starring Wolverine from the dystopian Old Man Logan story arc and the future version of Batman from Miller’s comic book masterpiece, The Dark Knight Returns. Daniel Warren Johnson’s cover highlights a showdown between two iconic Jack Kirby creations, the Thing and Big Barda.
