Filmmaker Kevin Smith has a long history as a comic writer, with particularly beloved runs on DC's Green Arrow and Marvel's Daredevil under his belt. And now, he's returning to unite both characters as part of the first official Marvel/DC crossover in decades.

The new Marvel/DC crossover takes place in a pair of one-shots starring Batman and Deadpool, one to be published by Marvel and the other by DC. Each one-shot will also feature a series of back-up stories that bring together heroes from the two universes, and we now know what stories will appear in Marvel's side of the event.

"This has been surreal to say the least!" says Zdarsky in a statement accompanying the announcement. "Captain America and Wonder Woman are the best their worlds have to offer, both warriors for peace. Getting to explore a dynamic and history between them has been genuinely exciting."

"Two ICONS meeting for the first time!” adds Thompson. "It's such an honor for Jeff to get to be Marvel's ambassador in this crossover story with Krypto. Anyone who loves comics knows how rare it is for DC and Marvel to crossover, so Jeff getting to be part of this historic moment with Krypto, and Gurihiru and I getting to bring that tale to readers... well, sometimes this job is very cool."

Marvel/DC: Deadpool/Batman #1 goes on sale September 17.
