Jay & Silent Bob Invade Marvel Universe!
20 Feb
Summary
- Jay and Silent Bob are crossing over into the Marvel universe.
- A new comic, Jays of Future Past, features Doctor Doom decreeing their demise.
- Kevin Smith wanted this crossover since a 1995 Mallrats reference.
Kevin Smith's beloved characters, Jay and Silent Bob, are making a significant leap into the Marvel universe with the upcoming comic release, Jay and Silent Bob: Jays of Future Past. This one-shot issue sees the foul-mouthed protagonists thrust into a multiverse-shattering scenario where Doctor Doom marks them for death.
This event necessitates a joint mission involving the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four to protect the unconventional duo. Smith has expressed a long-held desire for this crossover, stemming from the very first cinematic reference to Wolverine in his 1995 film Mallrats. The cover art features Wolverine, hinting at a potential encounter with Jay and Silent Bob.
The comic also raises questions about how the characters' R-rated nature will be adapted for a potentially broader comic audience, with speculation about uncensored dialogue and interactions with Marvel heroines. This marks Jay and Silent Bob's second major comic crossover, following Archie Meets Jay and Silent Bob. Smith also continues to pursue his film project, Jay and Silent Bob: Store Wars.
