Aug 31, 2016If you haven’t been following All-New Wolverine that’s ok, this is a great jumping on point. The annual is so much fun and stands on it’s own really well without needing much back story. This is a must read issue and a must read series. We are going to be heading into Enemy of the State II and it’s sure to be a wild ride so hop on now and hold on for dear life! Read Full Review

Sep 01, 2016All New Wolverines first annual is a much needed diversion in the the midst of what may very well be Marvels darkest and cruelest company wide event, but it also marks an important milestone for its marquee female lead and serves as a reminder that its creative team are the best at what the do, and what they do is, in fact, very pretty.

Sep 05, 2016Tom Taylor uses this Annual to give fans a fun, body switching story and if you are a sucker for that like myself, you will love it. Everything here, from the characters to the art, pushes the wacky story forward and when it ended, I wanted so much more. Please have this happen some more! Read Full Review

Aug 31, 2016All-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

Sep 06, 2016All-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

IGN - Jesse Schedeen
Aug 31, 2016If 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

PopMatters - Jack Fisher
Sep 02, 2016The 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

Sep 07, 2016All 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.

Oh this is a very fun body-switcheroo between Wolverine and Spider-Gwen. I love them meeting each other in their different bodies and teaching one another how their powers work. It is simple body-switching story stuff, but it works. Tom Taylor wrote a very funny script for this annual. I kind of like how the whole thing was a bit of a misunderstanding with new character Red Hornet. Ending was a little abrupt but would has potential if Taylor ever brings Hornet back (but it doesn't seem like he ever did and as such it's a weirdly undeveloped idea)

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.

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.

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
