Deadpool #1 is a nice change of pace as the sad sack that is Wade Wilson is trying to mend things with his trusty Symbiote doggo and a desire to make things right in his life. Fans of the previous run will love Ziglar picking up where that left off, with a promise for more development with Deadpool's daughter. With plenty of action, this will appear to fans, both new and old. This will be a strong contender for best #1 issue of the year due to pace and emotionality. Read Full Review

Deadpool #1is a solid first issue for what to expect from Ziglar and Antnio. Filled with humor and action, it will satisfy fans of the character. I cannot wait to see where the pair takes the regenerating degenerate in the future. Read Full Review

Deadpool #1 is not likely to win over those who haven't already embraced Wade Wilson as their unlikely anti-hero savior. For those who only know him from the movies, however, this is the perfect entry into the world of the comics. For those who are already fans, this is a solid reminder of everything Wade Wilson is, opening what promises to be an eventful and fun run. Read Full Review

Deadpool has lost everything save for his alien symbiote dog, but that actually makes for a fun issue, especially when he stumbles onto a villain who is ready to bring the fight to him. Read Full Review

Deadpool #1 didn't grab me. But the comics world is better off with an ongoing series centered around the Merc with a Mouth. This may not have broken any new ground, but it delivers on what it's aiming for and readers will certainly receive a few laughs. Sometimes that's enough. Read Full Review

Deadpool #1 gives readers plenty of action, but Ziglar misses the boat by delivering a Deadpool who is more sarcastic sadsack than the Merc with a Mouth. Deadpool's personality sets him apart, so missing out on what makes Deadpool special, building the story on Alyssa Wong's fatally flawed run, makes this issue feel like a non-starter.

Some really cool moments. Didnt think i would like deadpool having a symbiote pet but it works well. Fun stuff but the end made it better than just OK

a really good start for my favorite anti-hero of all time. I love the Chainsaw Man reference haha. Deadpool and his symbiotic dog creating a team to fight bad guys.

I thought this was a pretty solid first issue for the series. It doesn't really reach the heights of the previous series from Alyssa Wong for me, but it has potential. Ziglar seems to have a fairly good grasp on the character, though I did feel like the way he wrote Wade's dissatisfaction with his current situation to be a bit much at times. I just feel as though there was a better way to convey it. Either way, this was good and I hope the run only gets better from here.

Action oriented with a promising beginning. This just needed more of Deadpool’s personality, kinda reads like a generic mercenary character rather than Deadpool.

Plot
Deadpool and his daughter/dog/symbiote Princess are on a mission that gets complicated when they cross paths with Death Grip.

At the same time he is recruited for a new job.

The narrative is somewhat confusing and difficult to follow, possibly they explain everything in the next installment.

Art
It's very detailed and manages to highlight the outright violence and parts of Deadpool flying.

Summary
Deadpool encounters a new adversary with supernatural powers

Deadpool is like Harley Quinn. It's very hard to get his character right without him being too annoying or cringy. He's also a tragic character, but the tragic side of his story is also hard to write in a way that balances the humor and craziness. I don't think this comic managed to do that, although it is better than Alyssa Wong's run before it.

Maybe I'm being too harsh since it is the first issue. Hopefully it gets better.

One more thing to address. It is very annoying that this is rebooted again with another #1 when it uses the same story elements from the previous run. I know first issues are a sales bump, but I can't help feel that its a short term gain but a long term loss. 1) It's confusing for new readers 2) It's a jumping off point if the reader doesn't like the direction of the title 3) For those who want an unbroken run, there is no consequences for not buying back issues of a run that isn't that good, since it doesn't affect the numbering.
