Marvel-Verse: Deadpool and Wolverine

Marvel-Verse

by Paul Tobin

Feisty fun for the whole family with two of Marvel's most popular superstars! Everybody loves Deadpool, right? Somebody ought to tell the Avengers! Can the Merc with a Mouth fast-talk his way out of a confrontation with Earth's Mightiest Heroes? At least Spider-Man can see Wade Wilson's appeal until a day in the life of Deadpool shows him a little something about power and irresponsibility. Wolverine's keen to teach Spidey a lesson too, when he fi nds out the webhead is following him - and he is one tutor who makes sure you get the point! And what was Wolvie up to just before he fi rst tangled with the Hulk?

Sono raccolte qui 4 storielle di Deadpool e Wolverine (mai insieme... ma come!?!), proprio di poco conto, anzi al limite del ridicolo direi. Non un granchè assolutamente. Anche i disegni non mi hanno espresso nulla, insipidi!

2.5 This was my first approach to Deadpool and I have to say he seems funny.

Anyway, I don't like when characters cross over because most of the times the story ends up not making any sense, like in one of this where Spider man gets hired by who-knows-who to follow Wolverine for the day...! Is it supposed to be funny? and am I supposed to believe that? I don't know, it makes no sense to me. Even in the latest Spider man movies, it makes no sense that Peter works with Iron man etc, gets his money basically, ets. Completely out of character and out of the story. But, I'm rambling now.
It was a quick read and a couple of the story not too too bad if you read it not thinking about the original characters I think.

A short collection of Deadpool and Wolverine stories--but not Deadpool and Wolverine TOGETHER stories. I was kind bummed by that, but still, the included stories were entertaining and fun. A nice little read in between "heavier" comics. (Plus, one was a comic version of an "Ultimate Spider-Man" episode that I remember re-watching and loving when I was younger.)

I was a tad disappointed that the collection was not stories of Wolverine and Deadpool in stories starring both of them, but was instead two stories each featuring them separately, but it was a fun quick read.

due stelle giusto per il capitolo di spidey + deadpool, ma gli altri non sono il mio genere (e mi aspettavo deadpool e wolvy insieme non storie separate 😔)

Deadpool- und Wolverine-Fans aufgepasst, hier gibt es etwas ganz Besonderes! In diesem Band finden sich vier in sich abgeschlossene Kurzgeschichten über die beiden. Das Timing ist auch nicht übel, denn im Juli tut sich Deadpool mit Wolverine in einem neuen Kinofilm zusammen, und zu diesem Anlass gibt es von Panini eine kleine, aber feine Einführung zu diesen Charakteren im handlichen Taschenbuchformat als kleinen Vorgeschmack.
Sowohl die Geschichten als auch die Zeichenstile führen uns durch verschiedene Epochen einiger ausgewählter Marvelhelden.

Der Titel ist allerdings irreführend – man denkt, man bekommt Deadpool und Wolverine als eingespieltes Team, sind sie aber nicht. In den Geschichten sind entweder nur Deadpool oder eben nur Wolverine vertreten und machen ihr Ding, zusammen sind sie jedenfalls nicht.
Fazit: Kurze und ganz unterhaltsame Storys, bei denen man nicht viel denken muss, sondern sich einfach bespaßen lassen kann.

Thought this was the best of Deadpool and Wolverine fighting/working together, but it was just them in separate stories. Had some funny parts, but was a real bore.

Wish it was Deadpool, Wolverine, then also a Deadpool and Wolverine team up comic. but you know I’ll take the Deadpool and Wolverine comics as they are!

[Craig Lotter · Rating 2 out of 5]

Despite the cover indicating we should be getting some Wolverine and Deadpool appearing together action, this isn't the case at all. Rather it is two lackluster Deadpool stories followed by two relatively weak Wolverine stories. Actually, there is so much Spider-man in this book that I am surprised he isn't on the cover as well! Art is a bit of a mixed bag as well, hence the low rating. Was hoping for a little more like the Marvel-Verse Guardians of the Galaxy outing, but this book just didn't deliver.

This was a fun book. My favorite was the Deadpool/Spider-Man one. It was cracking me up when Spider-Man kept lecturing Deadpool about not killing anyone but what made it even better is that they couldn’t say “killing” so they kept calling it “k-wording.” I just wish there was more Deadpool and more Deadpool and Wolverine together. The title is kind of misleading. It makes you think Deadpool and Wolverine are teaming up but it’s just different comics featuring Deadpool and Wolverine, but they’re not actually together in any of the comics. But upon reading this the second time, even though DP and Wolvie weren’t actually together for any of the comics, this was absolutely hilarious. My favorite this time was the first one when the Avengers were fighting DP and DP threw pretzels at Nova and he was like “Is this guy for real? He is throwing pretzels at me!” I laughed my slap happy laugh for like a minute at that. Lol. Plus Wolvie had some great one-liners in his solo comic book.

2.5 stars

This book contains 2 issues featuring Deadpool, and 2 featuring Wolverine. Unfortunately, they aren't together in any of them, which feels a bit misleading given the title of the book. Nevertheless, the stories are cute even though they're not part of the canon Marvel continuity. Deadpool is his usual funny self, but with a tone appropriate for children - he gets into some trouble against the Avengers, and into a team-up with Spider-man. As for Wolverine, he stars in a solo adventure against a mysterious threat, and then features in a Spidey-centric story as more of a background character. Overall, the stories were enjoyable for what they are, but I would have expected more from a book featuring two of Marvel's most beloved characters.
