Marvel & Disney: What If…? Donald Duck Became Wolverine #1’s description reads, “Travel to the near future where chaos rules as Pete-Skull transforms Duckburg into a superhero-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?”

What If…? Donald Duck Became Wolverine
Barbieri discussed merging Donald and Logan, “Donald Duck and Wolverine are two characters that seem almost impossible to make coexist, but in fact, they possess very similar personalities,” the writer said. “They are both hot-tempered and unlucky, but in adversity, they do not lose heart and always show that they have a big heart. Once this point was focused, writing the story turned out to be easy and fun,” Barbieri added.
Artist Perissinotto added, “I always thought Wolverine’s sideburns only looked good on Uncle Scrooge, but when I drew them on Donald Duck, I realized they fit him perfectly. Those pointy head tufts and thick sideburns go well with his shaggy being. I had so much fun adapting Wolverine’s hair to Donald Duck that I would do him like this all the time now.”
Marvel & Disney: What If…? Donald Duck Became Wolverine #1 will arrive in comic book shops on July 31, 2024.
