Deadpool The Duck Announced By Marvel At NYCC

From the "Meet Marvel @ NYCC" retailer panel at New York Comic Con, Marvel Comics announced Deadpool the Duck, a new miniseries debuting in 2017.

Deadpool the Duck will be written by Stuart Moore (Cloak and Dagger, Thanos: Death Sentence) and illustrated by Jacopo Camagni (Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars), with covers by David Nakayama.

Deadpool the Duck will see Deadpool, Wade Wilson, on a mission from SHIELD to capture a major extraterrestrial who is chaos havoc on Earth. Deadpool thinks it's a simple enough job, but things turn sideways. The ever-cantankerous Howard the Duck becomes involved, but Deadpool and Howard find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. A freak accident leaves Deadpool and Howard merged and fighting for control of Deadpool the Duck, the Merc with a Beak.
