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!

You should put a one sentence quote that summarizes each review...
For the first one, "After much anticipation, Deadpool is back! And he's as stupid and psychotic as ever. Just the way you love him."
For the Comic Nexus one, 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?"
Just a thought,
Tom
Agreed with AnonTom, but it was still nice to see reviewers with high hopes for a new DP series.
Wow! Nicely improved!
Regards,
Tom
I'm always open to suggestions and comments. Thanks for the help with the reviews.
Thanks for posting my review on Deadpool #1. What I want to know is if anyone on the Deadpool series would like to conduct an email interview with me. If that sounds good then play contact me at [email protected]

No way (duh!) it's like Nicieza, the art of Medina is excellent, but Way, omg Way is not what I expected.
Lets send mails to Marvel asking to put Fabian back on the series
roq -- makes you wonder if Marvel signing Joe Kelly onto Spider-man is a fallback option for this series' future...
Still haven't got the issue, I'm so lame and carless. But...glad to see at least it's not a total disaster (I still love Kelly, Simone, and Nicieza the mostest, but I'll give Way his chance. Can't be any worse than Priest, right? Well, except that so far I've hated Pool-o-vision. *sigh*)
I kinda wish Way *would* delve into the DP angst a bit, but I'm afraid he wouldn't do it right. Definitely need Kelly for the best, darkest angst.
Not to take anything away from this series because i liked this first issue i thought the art was on point and it is funny but i feel that throughout the cable and deadpool series wade progressed very well as a character and even developed a strong and humorous supporting cast, (especially bob agent of hydra) and all of that seems to have been thrown out for this series which is a little disappointing but at the end of the day its just great to have deadpool back on a monthly basis
