Backup stories include Daredevil and Green Arrow by Kevin Smith and Adam Kubert; Jeff the Land Shark and Krypto by Kelly Thompson and Gurihiru; and Captain America and Wonder Woman by Chip Zdarsky and Terry Dodson, reflected in a newly-revealed variant cover by Terry Dodson.
“I kind of assumed Marvel would let me draw a variant cover, but then I see Terry did one, even though he already gets to draw the (amazing) story inside? Doesn’t seem fair!” Zdarsky shared.

Love the cover art so far. Capullo is a legend with the art work! I am intrigued to see where this will go storyline wise.
Hoping theres going to be some interaction with Deathstroke.

Hoping fora solid storyline and some interesting tie-in tales with the other characters as well.
I'm loving this honestly. I'm just hoping qade and dick can spend time quipping.
I do like the fact of collaboration, personally I'm not too excited to see Batman and Deadpool together but it makes financial and hype sense, sales will be through the roof and if it is really Mark Waid writing then I'm sure story will be good enough for a single read at least.

I assume one of the unnamed creators will be Mark Miller because he has been teasing a DC Marvel Crossover project he says he has been working on for over a week on his FB page.
