Marvel & Disney: What If…? Donald Duck Became Wolverine #1 is written by Luca Barbieri and drawn by artist Giada Perissinotto. The issue mashes up various Marvel and Disney characters in a story that is - somewhat unexpectedly - a riff on Jeff Lemire and Ed Brisson’s classic, grittyOld Man Logan. We’re also promised a look at “some of the greatest moments in Donald-Wolverine’s history including his time spent with Weapon X and the Uncanny X-Men!”

Marvel’s official synopsis teases some of the other mashed-up characters that we’ll meet in the one-shot.
“Travel to the near future where chaos rules as Pete-Skull transforms Duckburg into a super-hero-less wasteland. Only Old Donald Duck can turn the tide, but he’s given up his battling days and prefers naps and his grandma’s apple pie over fighting villains. But when Mickey-Hawkeye comes knocking at the door with Goofy-Hulk at his side, Wolverine-Donald has to make a choice! Will a trip down memory lane change his mind to save the world? Or will the lure of the backyard hammock and a long nap keep him from popping his claws one last time?”
“Goofy-Hulk.” Incredible.
