Marvel Comics and Disney are set to dazzle fans with a groundbreaking crossover event in Marvel & Disney: What If…? Donald Duck Became Wolverine #1, slated for release on July 31st. This special comic book one-shot commemorates the 90th anniversary of Donald Duck and the 50th anniversary of Wolverine, blending their iconic personas into a thrilling narrative that promises to redefine both characters in a unique setting.

Crafted by esteemed Disney comic creators Luca Barbieri and Giada Perissinotto, What If…? Donald Duck Became Wolverine #1 is poised to celebrate the best of both worlds with a fusion of heart, humor, and epic storytelling. Building on the success of Marvel and Disney's previous collaborations, including the popular What If…? Disney Variant Covers and the recent hit Uncle Scrooge and the Infinity Dime #1, this comic promises to be a standout in the genre.

The storyline of What If…? Donald Duck Became Wolverine #1 ventures into uncharted territory, imagining Donald Duck taking on the mantle of Wolverine in a narrative inspired by Wolverine's acclaimed storyline, Old Man Logan.

Set in a near-future dystopia where Duckburg faces existential threats under the reign of Pete-Skull, the comic challenges Donald-Wolverine to rise from retirement. Despite preferring peace and his grandma’s apple pie, Donald-Wolverine must confront his past when allies like Mickey-Hawkeye and Goofy-Hulk rally him to protect their imperiled world.

Luca Barbieri shed light on the creative process behind merging these seemingly disparate characters, highlighting their shared traits of resilience and determination amidst adversity.
