Benjamin Percy's Deadpool and Punisher runs collide in “Big Guns"

GateCrashersJune 16, 2026

This September, Benjamin Percy’s Wade Wilson: Deadpool and Punisher runs collide in “Big Guns,” a four-part crossover illustrated by Geoff Shaw and José Luis Soaraes.

Wade Wilson and Frank Castle are going head-to-head. Don’t get in their way.

To celebrate 616 Day, Marvel Comics proudly unveils “BIG GUNS,” a four-part crossover kicking off this September in Benjamin Percy and Geoff Shaw’s WADE WILSON: DEADPOOL and Percy and José Luis Soares’ PUNISHER. Both acclaimed runs have returned Marvel’s two trigger-happy icons to their roots with uncompromising, no-holds-barred storytelling, aligning the fates for this dangerous and ultra-violent showdown!

When you're writing The Punisher, and you're writing Deadpool—two street-level characters with opposite personalities—the math works itself out, I had to bring them together. Violently. Get ready for non-stop mayhem, the re-invention (and glow-up) of a classic villain, and the introduction of the Merc-mobile (a rolling HQ I'm pretty damn excited about) as well as a new weapon that will change the 616 forever. Unlike Frank and Wade—who naturally despise each other—Geoff Shaw and José Luis are a perfect pairing, the best pens drawing the biggest guns.

The saga kicks off when Deadpool’s latest mess puts him in the crosshairs of the Punisher. Just as the Merc with a Mouth takes on one of the most high-stakes jobs of his career, Frank Castle seeks to settle the score—igniting a relentless clash of bullets, bloodshed, and mayhem that neither man will walk away from unscathed!
