The Merc with a Mouth is set to encounter the alien symbiote in a new five-issue miniseries entitled Deadpool: Back in Black from the creative team of Cullen Bunn (Deadpool’s Secret Secret Wars) and Salvador Espin (The Deadpool Killogy).
Comic Book reports that the series will take place after Marvel’s 1980 Secret Wars series and explores an untold era of Deadpool’s history, whereby the alien symbiote bonds with Wade Wilson after being rejected by Spider-Man.
“This series takes place immediately after the events of Web of Spider-Man #1, when the symbiote is driven away from Peter Parker,” states Bunn. “The symbiote is alone, which is a state of being that goes against its chemical makeup. It feels lost and abandoned. But when a group of intergalactic bounty hunters show up to abduct the alien creature, the symbiote seeks out the only other human being to have ever bonded to it… And that’s Deadpool. Wade and the symbiote know each other. In Deadpool’s Secret Secret Wars, Wade met the symbiote before Spidey. The creature is seeking out someone familiar other than the person who tried to kill it.”
