Deadpool Bugle reader Tom has compiled a list of reviews for Deadpool #1 from around the web. Overall the issue was well received.Comics Bulletin - 3.5/5 & 4/5
After much anticipation, Deadpool is back! And he's as stupid and psychotic as ever. Just the way you love him.
Comics Nexus - 8/10
It’s by no means the same Deadpool as Joe Kelly, Gail Simone, and Fabian Nicieza haven given us, but how many other writers nail it quite like they do? And I mean nail any character like they do. Those are big shoes to fill, but Way is already making a mark. One issue and I’ve already got high expectations.
Nerdage
The truth is, this issue, penned by Daniel Way with art by Paco “Funky Cold” Medina, isn’t long on story. But it is long on awesome. It’s funny. The art is great. It’s funny. Also, there’s a funniness about it. A funosity.
Review Busters - 10/10
If you love Deadpool as much as me then you better pick this issue up. New readers also need to pick this up too!
ign - 7.3/10
This first issue works as expected. There are some Skrulls. There is a Deadpool. He kills things while making nonsensical quips along the way. That basically sums it up, but it helps that the series never pretends to be anything other than a mindless action series.
Comic Pants
So really, while Way and Medina aren’t reinventing the wheel here, what they are doing is providing a nicely done comedy/action book that’s certainly worth a look.
Broken Frontier
Combined with Skrull profanity, hallucinations of Skrull autograph hunters and the Merc’s brazen attack (which includes jumping on top of the ship), this issue has enough mirth-inducing moments to remind faithful fans why they fell in love with Deadpool in the first place—and to create new fans at the same time.
Weekly Comic Book Review - B
I strongly urge all Marvel fans to at least give Deadpool #1 a look. The book does a nice job reintroducing a fan-favorite to the masses, and the it’s refreshing and unique despite the fairly predictable Secret Invasion framework.
Wizard
Funny, irreverent and topical all at the same time, Deadpool is worth diving into head first, for both Way's crisp, comedic capers and Medina's kinetic visuals.
If Destroyed, Still True
It's not horrible - the comic timing's quite good, there are a few amusing moments - but it doesn't have the inventiveness to get by on comedy value alone.
Newsarama
Daniel Way and Paco Medina are ready to take the reins of the Merc-With-A-Mouth. They clearly showed up to play with this first issue, and at a good start, they have a good chance of going straight to the top
comiXtreme - 3.5/5
I expected to be disappointed, and I’m not really. It’s not thrilling, or laugh-out-loud hilarious, but it shows promise.
TechNews
And though the plot is fairly simple, the book maintains a fast pace and features a great reveal at the end that promises an exciting future for this series.
Verdict: Buy it!
