THE BRUTAL RETURN OF THE BEST THERE IS...WITH AN UNLIKELY PARTNER!
DEADPOOL was the king of Staten Island - now he wants to be an honorary citizen of Krakoa. WOLVERINE just wants him to shut up. But when Deadpool uncovers a dangerous plot that could mean doom for the mutants' safe haven, it's going to take a titanic team-up of the Best There Is and the Merc with a Mouth to quell the threat. But that doesn't mean Logan has to like it. Featuring Wolverine and Deadpool at their most savage, as well as the return of a fan-favorite X-character to the Krakoan era! (And no, we don't mean Wade.)
RATED T+
Wolverine #20 is more fun than just about any issue of any X-book has been in the Krakoa era. Percy builds a great plot and uses Deadpool adroitly, making everything that much more entertaining. The art team of Kubert, Martin, and Lima are on fire, but that's to be expected with a team this good. All in all, another fantastic issue. Read Full Review
This is an excellent, entertaining issue that balances espionage against insanity. We do need a bit more action but hopefully we get more of that as the excellent arc progresses. Read Full Review
Wolverine #20 is a great return for the series afterX Lives of Wolverine and X Deaths of Wolverineput the main series on hiatus. Smartly, the creative team is having a bit of fun with Deadpool after a serious 10-issue epic, and boy is it a lot of fun to have Deadpool back in all his glory. Read Full Review
There's not much Wolverine, but their team-ups are always fun. Read Full Review
Wolverine #20 picks up in the aftermath ofX Lives/X Deaths of Wolverine by pairing the clawed Canadian with Deadpool for an off-the-rails mission. It's a nice change of pace from the usual Wolverine stories, but that's for the best: sometimes you have to shake things up to keep a character fresh. Read Full Review
Not much has changed for Wolverine as the clawed mutant's solo title enters the age of Destiny of X, with a whole extra helping of Deadpool along for the ride. Fans of both these characters, especially when they are together, will get a whole lot of what they probably like and overall not much else. Read Full Review
Your enjoyment of Wolverine #20 will really rely on what version of Deadpool you like and your preferred dosage. The issue balances things for me though is right up to the line. It also doesn't quite feel like a “Wolverine issue” as opposed to a “Deadpool issue” or the start of some miniseries. Still, there's a lot to like and the direction and hints as to what's to come should be interesting. If nothing else, it's a good starting point for those looking to dive into the series.

Deadpool joins the party in WOLVERINE #20! Crack open a can of Bub Lite, sit back, and enjoy the ride! Read Full Review
WOLVERINE #20 was not "hilarious as it is heart-bruised. Kubert's art was not overly stellar and focused on too many smaller panel progressions and needed more detail than usual. Maybe with time, my opinion will change? But for right now, if this is the new status quo, I think this reviewer may be taking a hard pass until DEADPOOL finds his way off the title. Read Full Review
Wow! What a fantastic issue! Both the writing and artwork were tremendous. I love the layouts of the art Adam kubert continues to impress. The story was so cool too. The main part was really intriguing I can't wait to see what happens next. The Deadpool parts were hilarious while still feeling like they belonged in the story and worked well. The way the Deadpool parts were weaved in and out of the main story was brilliant. This book had it all
TO be honest, I found this book kinda boring. But this issue brought back life to this.
Holy crap this was awesome!
Percy continues to get better and better.
A fun start to this arc that introduces Deadpool nicely. Something kind of funny to me is Deadpool finding New Mutants #98 and Deadpool #1 in the back issue bin instead of on a wall or in a case. I'm not criticizing the book for that or anything, but it just made me laugh. Also, Deadpool taking over the quote page was funny and perfectly in line with him.
I like it and I think it's a good comic. The art's very impressive, particularly the fancy layouts at the front. Mr. Kubert brings his A game.
Wolverine's characterization isn't deep but it sounds fundamentally right. Deadpool also sounds in-character, but also a bit distinctive.
The problem is there's just too much Deadpool. I know he hangs a lampshade on it, but still: He drags the pace out so that we just barely get to the first plot point of what looks like an intriguing story.
As a long time Deadpool reader, this issue was like finding an oasis after wandering the desert for the better part of the last couple of years. I think Marvel's struggled to hit the right mix of humor and pathos with the character since Duggan's run ended, but I think Percy has something here. The over-the-top intro narration was *chef's kiss* good and the entire running commentary surrounding DP feeling left out was both relevant to the story and perfectly meta.
The bulk of the issue was fine, but that ending... great setup.
Deadpool made this issue good
