On stands July 31st, the crossover comic introduces Donald-Wolverine and other reimagined Disney and Marvel mashups like Mickey-Hawkeye and Goofy-Hulk as it revisits some of the greatest moments in the berserker duck’s history, including his time with Weapon X and the Uncanny X-Men.

The official synopsis states, “Travel to the near future where chaos rules as Pete-Skull transformsDuckburg into a super-hero-less wasteland. Only Old Donald Duck can turnthe tide, but he’s given up his battling days and prefers naps and hisgrandma’s apple pie over fighting villains. When Mickey-Hawkeye comes knocking at the door with Goofy-Hulk at hisside, Donald-Wolverine has to make a choice! Will a trip down memorylane change his mind to save the world? Or will the lure of the backyardhammock and a long nap keep him from popping his claws one last time?”

“Donald Duck and Wolverine are two characters that seem almostimpossible to make coexist, but in fact they possess very similarpersonality: they are both hot-tempered and unlucky, but in adversitythey do not lose heart and always show that they have a big heart,” said writer Luca Barbieri. “Oncethis point was focused, writing the story turned out to be easy andfun.”

Added artist Giada Perissinotto: “I always thought Wolverine’s sideburns only looked good on UncleScrooge, but when I drew them on Donald Duck I realized they fit himperfectly too! Those pointy head tufts and thicksideburns go well with his shaggy being. I had so much fun adaptingWolverine’s hair to Donald Duck that I would do him like this all thetime now!”
