The most unlikely team-up turned most demanded one, Deadpool and Wolverine are BACK! Together again and ready to blow your minds in this ongoing series that hits like a never-ending action movie – with the fate of the world in the balance! When a fan-favorite villain is unearthed, you’ll get to see a new side of our heroes and their adversary, as an ages-long plan comes to fruition. And the only thing that stands between the Earth and annihilation is the Best There Is and the Merc With The Mouth. Deadpool/Wolverine #1 is an interesting debut that’s a lot of flash.

Written by Benjamin Percy, Deadpool/Wolverine #1 is entertaining enough, bringing together again Deadpool and Wolverine. Kicking off with an over the top segment, Deadpool is dragged along on a mission that ropes in Wolverine and results in big explosions and sequences that right now make no sense. It’s a perfect example of just go with the flow and try to not think too much. Short version, someone is controlling Deadpool and he and Wolverine are taken to a super secret location but first they needed to blow up a nuclear plant? Yeah, there’s not really a reason why the area needed to be evacuated but, it’s an action sequence that could only be done in comics.

And that pretty much sums up the issue, it can only be done in comics. The plot makes little sense right now other than to deliver the villain at the end which should be interesting as it’s someone we haven’t seen in some time. But, it’s a comic that’s really about those moments that are so silly on their own. The moments that are about Deadpool and Wolverine both loving and hating each other. And, this comic has those moments and then some.

Joshua Cassara delivers the bombastic visuals along with color by Guru e-FX and lettering by Joe Sabino. Visually, the comic entertains with an enthusiasm that drips from the page. There’s an almost glee in the visuals that match Percy’s rollercoaster ride of a story. There’s nothing subtle here with bodies flying, being chopped up, eyeballs pulled out, bullets flying, and large explosions. It’s silly. But, it’s silly fun.

Deadpool/Wolverine #1 is turn your brain off enjoyment. Nothing really makes sense right now but that’s not really the point here. It’s a story that’s flash, not substance. You’re not supposed to think too hard. Just sit back with some popcorn and strap in for the wild ride.
