Fun with some well written dialogue for Logan, but it felt like they squished too much into one issue, and Deadpool’s humour unfortunately isn’t on point.

I have no idea what is happening here but I'm here for it.
Wolverine being done with Wade's sh*t is such a vibe.
Looking forward to whatever the hell comes next!

Wolverine has a job. It's not one he wants, but it's necessary. A cop wants to end a killing spree. So she calls on Wolverine. Can he catch the superpowered villain that makes mincemeat of his victims? Or will someone else get in his way? Let’s extend our claws, leap into Deadpool & Wolverine WWIII #1, and find out!
Story
Superheroes deal with morality. Hunters kill. Wolverine's cop friend doesn't want anyone else to die. So, she calls on the human weapon with adamantium claws to put down a predator. Unfortunately, someone else has found him first.
Like the cop, Vancouver’s endangered citizens wanted to end the killing spree. So the victim’s families put up a bounty. Wolverine knows what Deadpool does is necessary, but that doesn't mean he likes it. Nor does Logan like how Deadpool finds humor in the killing. People shouldn't enjoy killing. They should never joke about taking another person’s life.
But what is life? Wolverine muses on that in Deadpool & Wolverine WWIII #1. Why even try to build anything significant? It’ll eventually end. Everything does. Dreams are just misfiring neurons, he concludes.
Joe Kelly portrays Wolverine and Deadpool as two brothers in arms. Their love/hate relationship binds them together and tears them apart. Yet in Kelly’s story, Wolverine does the tearing apart, while Deadpool tries to do a team-up. Only after they take down their adversary and Deadpool slips away does Wolverine realize what Wade said. But then it’s too late. Wade's gone, just like a dream or another crumbled monument.
So, another hunt begins. Logan tells himself he’s doing it to kill whoever created the mincemeat monster. But in Deadpool & Wolverine WWIII #1, Logan’s also doing it because of what Wade said. And because he failed to respond before Deadpool slipped away.
Joe Kelly probes Wolverine’s conscience as Logan tracks “the world’s crappiest trail of breadcrumbs.” Wolverine may hate the jack@$$. Still, he’s got a responsibility to Deadpool, not to mention those Wade could endanger in his quest to become more like Wolverine.
Art
Wolverine leaps across the Vancouver skyline. He crouches beside a rooftop pool, gazing down at the street. After an explosion of concrete, water, and fire, he gazes up to see Deadpool trade his rocket launcher for a sword and a machine pistol. Wolverine ignores the torrent of bullets, leaping into the fray as Deadpool follows up with a flurry of throwing knives. Their opponent dissolves Deadpool's assault with a shield. Wolverine, he bats away.
Adam Kubert reveals Wolverine's competitive nature as he shoves Deadpool into harm's way while charging the City Of Glass slicer and dicer in Deadpool & Wolverine WWIII #1. Kubert enhances the humor with Deadpool’s gestures, birthday greetings decorating the rocket launcher, and the way Deadpool leaps and lands on Wolverine’s shoulders. Yet as the living weapons watch paramedics load their opponent into an ambulance, Deadpool glances up at Wolverine, who refuses to return his gaze. Later, Logan sits at a bar and frowns at his drink. No girl clad in a hoodie sits beside him.
The sinking sun casts an orange glow over Vansterdam as Wolverine’s silhouette bounds across pink fields. Despite Deadpool’s sudden dislike for his footwear, his opponent’s boots shine brighter than the yellow in Wolverine’s suit. Yet nothing outshines the crazed killer's purple hooded shirt or the purple energy shields and tendrils he wields. Frank Martin adorns a bar mostly in yellow and brown, echoing Wolverine’s suit, even if Logan has changed into street clothes. Does the maple leaf on the wall and the bartender's long red beard remind Logan of Wade?
Later, a red child's phone confirms Logan has found the right Skybnb, even if he didn’t arrive in time.
Joe Sabino casts Weapon X-worthy lowercase black letters into white and colored balloons and boxes. Whether it's lashes of sizzling electricity, barrages of gunfire, or the crash of shattered windows, Sabino enhances the energy propelling Deadpool & Wolverine WWIII #1 toward its heartrending conclusion. Yet the applause stretching like ribbons across the final pages reminds us why Logan has grown so disillusioned in Joe Kelly’s tragic tale.
Final Thoughts
Wolverine hunts monsters. But is Wolverine a hunter or a monster? It’s a question Logan can't avoid when Wade Wilson reminds him of the difference between them in Deadpool & Wolverine WWIII #1.

Another comic that I picked up just because liked a variant cover. And yet another comic that I had so much fun with that I didn't think I would! I liked this better then the other Deadpool title I read today. This story telling and art in this book have NO REASON to be this good. 10/10 y'all.

Unfortunately I could not finish this series. The story was laughable and unimaginative. The artwork was cringy and messy. I really thought after the Deadpool/Wolverine movie the new comics would have upped their game to follow, but alas, no.

First half is decent, second half is where the soup gets thick and confusing real quick.

Picked up today for £5 from #fcbd, seen it and decided to purchase, I love wolverine so was excited to see what the story would be. Classic action and enjoyable. 4/5

I don’t know where this story is going but I’m interested to see it unfold.

the fight starting positions are always too coooooooool

I fucking loooooove how their dynamic is written in this? And the sad Wade lore? Muah perfection especially with how Wolverine handles it as well as wades new little costume- being so good-
August 24, 2024
This comic was really good. I enjoyed the story and art style. Seeing Logan cut off a piece of his thigh to feed a starving Wade was disturbing but sweet at the same time.

Just kiss or whatever idk. The end was cool tho

Wade, "what did you do" indeed 😭 My man gave in to self-hatred real bad this time
November 30, 2025
Wolverine may have bitten off more than he can chew as he tries to uncover what Wade is up to

essendo il primo volume la storia si fa un po’ confusionaria, specie verso la fine ovviamente, ma mi piace al momento e voglio proprio vedere dove andrà a parare e come si evolverà la narrazione.
le tavole poi sono pazzesche, mi piacciono molto i disegni, continuerò sicuramente a comprare i volumi
