The cover for
Deadpool VS Gambit #1 takes a not so subtle approach at mocking the title of
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. In the preview below, Deadpool and Gambit run into one another at a popular coffee shop of all places and start to reminisce about the last time they encountered one another, which somehow also involved '
Daredevil' and '
Spider-Man'.
On second look, it actually appears to be Gambit in a Daredevil costume and Deadpool dressed as Spider-Man. Spidey's lack of spider-sense is practically a dead giveaway that's an impostor. Perhaps they both planned to rob the same museum while impersonating a superhero?
As for the tagline, it sparks to mind,
Zack Snyder's reasoning for using 'V' instead of 'VS' in the title of
Batman v Superman. Snyder explained that the use of 'V' was a way to keep the film from being a "straight up versus" film, a point that many identified as patently incorrect. Regardless of whether you use 'V' or 'VS' it still means
Versus.
Gambit – one of the smoothest, best looking operators in the world. Deadpool – one of the most annoying, ugliest dirtbags around. Naturally these two have beef. Be there this June when tensions reach their boiling points in DEADPOOL V GAMBIT #1 – a new limited series from writers Ben Acker & Ben Blacker (Thunderbolts) and artist Danilo Beyruth (Gwenpool)! Did you know that the “V” stands for “Vs.”? Crazy, right? Know what’s crazier? These two have a secret history together – working to pull con jobs across the Marvel Universe. That’s right, and now the Regeneratin’ Degenerate and the Ragin’ Cajun are begrudgingly taking on one last job together. What could possibly go wrong? Hey, is that Spider-Man and Daredevil?! The grift is go and the con is on this June as these two go head-to-head in DEADPOOL V GAMBIT #1!
