MARVEL'S TOP MERC IS BACK IN BUSINESS!
We all know Wade Wilson is one of the top mercenary/assassins in the Marvel Universe, even if he is simultaneously the most annoying one... but he's pushing to make that recognition official as he auditions for the elite group known as the Atelier. Now, he has 48 hours to kill one of the world's most famous supervillains. Only problem? He's been kidnapped, and something...strange...is GROWING INSIDE HIM. Things are going to get gross as writer Alyssa Wong (DOCTOR APHRA, IRON FIST) and artist Martin Coccolo (BANNER OF WAR) take out their pent up aggression on everyone's pizza-faced, jabber-mouthed, m

Nov 05, 2022Overall, Deadpool #1 is a hilarious issue that reminds fans why he is the funniest character in all of comic books. The story by Wong is outrageous. The art by the creative team is gorgeous. Altogether, a must buy for any longtime or casual Deadpool fan. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
Nov 02, 2022Deadpool #1 comes out of the gate swinging, introducing some clever villainy on his body while showing his romantic heart is as strong as ever. Read this one for the in-your-face art and exciting love interest budding from an assassins club far too good for Deadpool and we love him for it. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Sean Winningham
Nov 02, 2022This is a great first issue for a Deadpool story. If you are someone that has always been interested in getting into a Deadpool comic run for the first time, you can't go wrong with this. It captures the character of Wade Wilson well and you don't need to have any previous knowledge of any story to dive in and enjoy this next adventure of the "Merc With A Mouth." Read Full Review

Nov 02, 2022Deadpool's new solo run is off to a strong start under Alyssa Wong. Not only do they have a strong grasp of Wade's sense of humor, but they also grasp that his comedy works best when the characters around him are able to hit back with sarcastic retorts. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Nov 02, 2022Deadpool #1 is a respectable start to a new arc from Alyssa Wong. The plot is original and makes sense, Deadpool's "voice is a solid impersonation of Ryan Reynolds, and Coccolo's art is above average. Read Full Review

Razorfine - Alan Rapp
Nov 15, 2022The comic isn't quite as wacky as the flavor I prefer in my Deadpool stories, nor bloody, but it is weird and bizarre story with the time of Deadpool's contract ticking down while he's being turned into a living petri dish. There's enough to keep my interest, but not necessarily enough to bring me back for issue #2. Read Full Review

Geek'd Out - Cameron Kieffer
Nov 02, 2022With tongue firmly planted in-cheek, Wong and co deliver a strong start to what could be a very compelling new volume ofDeadpool and his ongoing adventures. While its too soon to tell where this story fares when compared to legendary runs by Joe Kelley, Daniel Way, and even the more recent series by Kelly Thompson, its fair to say our villainous hero is in very good hands.

It was fun and it has all the familiar ingredients to make a good story. I hope we get something new from Wong and less familiar beats. Coccolo's art is really good!

This was a fun start to the series that brings about a super weird, but also entertaining, plot where Wade has a symbiote injected into his body. This is the kind of out-there story that is perfect for a character like Deadpool, and Wong's writing here is great for him as well. Plus, Coccolo's art is nice and he has some good full-page drawings here also. Just good stuff all around.

This was enjoyable and funny. Definitely didn't expect that from Alyssa Wong, to be honest. But I'm glad I was wrong.

8.0
I think the two plot lines are pretty weak on their own, but they combine nicely. The pace is brisk, the prose is good, and the jokes are funny. The art is consistently solid with a few extra-nice panels sprinkled in. I particularly like Deadpool's pansexuality being pulled further forward than usual. Not exactly in your face, but not the usual afterthought.
