All-New Wolverine delivers both intriguing plot threads and heartwarming moments between Laura and Gabby. Read Full Review

All-New Wolverine Annual #1 is my favorite book this week. We get a delightful meeting between Wolverine and Spider-Gwen. Taylor, Takara, and Lopes are on point with the story. The crux of the plot passes by a little quickly, and the resolution to tie up the self-contained story feels a little convenient. Regardless, it's an enjoyable issue. Even if you're unfamiliar with the characters, you can easily dive into the story. Do yourself a favor and buy the issue. Maybe you should even buy two issues to had off to a friend to try to convert them into reading comics. Read Full Review

All-New Wolverine Annual #1 is the type of comic tale we do not get often enough. One that is willing to take an out of the box concept without having it over stay its welcome. Read Full Review

If all you want from this issue is a fun, goofy team-up between two of Marvel's most prominent heroines, you won't leave disappointed. This comic looks great and delivers a steady stream of body-swap comedy. But given how well the main series has managed to blend humor and emotional drama, it's disappointing that the annual feels so light and inconsequential by comparison. There's too much missed potential with this crossover. Read Full Review

The story still lacks in some key components, but it still has all the overplayed features we would expect of a body-swapping story. Two characters swap bodies, they fumble around hilariously, and they come together to fix this mess. It's a simple formula and All-New Wolverine Annual #1 sticks to it for the most part. It doesn't try to overachieve beyond its worth. It doesn't lower the bar either. Overall, this issue acts as another step in X-23's evolution as the new Wolverine. So long as she can avoid Clone Sagas and avoid falling in love with redheads, it's safe to say she's on the right track. Read Full Review

All New Wolverine Annual #1 is little more than a superheroic take on Freaky Friday but it's a good one, charming, funny and cute in equal measure. It's a hard comic to justify paying $4.99 for with so little plot and character work but for those who can't get enough of Spider-Gwen and Laura Kinney's take on Wolverine but it's not going to be what many readers are looking for.

While enjoyable, there were a few weaknesses in the presentation of the story. In particular much of the exposition — ESPECIALLY Earth-65 Reed knowing exactly what was going on and even WHO Gwen switched bodies with — felt rushed and could have stood better fleshing out.

I didn't expect much of the issue, so I wasn't disappointed. The plot isn't very original, but the idea of the team-up is quite fun. Also, the beginning is rather confused but, after a few pages, the reading becomes more fluid. But, for me, a big problem of this series is that they are always reminding us that Laura isn't Logan. It's becoming too repetitive. The art is neat with great colors.

Wasn’t really feeling this annual and the body swapped idea has been used wayyy to many times. Great art and great humor though. And Jonathan. He’s just the greatest
