    WOLVERINE #21 is filled with all of the action and humor youd expect out of a #Wolverine and #Deadpool adventure and then some!

    You Don't Read Comics

    Wolverine #21 is a fast-paced thrill ride that finds an amusing way to drop exposition on readers that never messes with the books pacing. Percy writes an amazing Deadpool and knows how to blend him with Wolverine expertly. Kuberts pencils arent perfect all the way through, but when hes hitting, its a thing of his usual beauty. Martins colors make the whole thing look like a million bucks and are the cherry on top of a beautiful read.

    The Comicbook Dispatch

    DEADPOOL and Percy are just not jiving with this reviewer. It's almost as if Percy is trying too hard to be comedic, goofy, and sarcastic just because that's DEADPOOL. However, it's happening at times that just don't fit, aren't necessary to the story, and aren't overly funny. Heck, the focus seems to be so much on DEADPOOL that even WOLVERINE'S dialogue felt a bit off at times.

    Wolverine #21 is a good, but not great comic. There are highlights for sure and clever bits of dialogue and artistry, but it hasn't quite found its groove. The idea of Deadpool stealing the story arc is fun, but the execution wise it limps along too slowly or awkwardly.

    Wolverine #21 leans more into the annoying side of any Deadpool crossover with way too much of the book being dedicated to him (and this is coming from a Deadpool fan).

About the Author: Benjamin Percy

Benjamin Percy is an American author of novels and short stories, essayist, comic book writer, and screenwriter.

Career

Benjamin Percy has published four novels, The Dark Net, The Dead Lands, Red Moon, and The Wilding, as well as two books of short fiction: Refresh, Refresh and The Language of Elk. In 2016, he published his first book of non-fiction, a collection of essays on writing and genre fiction: Thrill Me.

Percy’s first work for DC Comics was writing Detective Comics #35 – 36 in 2014, which was part of the company’s New 52 branding. He eventually took over as writer on the company’s Green Arrow series, beginning with issue 41, and continuing until issue 52, when that series was cancelled in preparation for DC’s 2016 DC Rebirth initiative, which involved restarting its monthly titles with new #1 issues. Percy would continue as writer on Green Arrow with its new series in 2016, beginning with the one-shot Green Arrow: Rebirth, which sold over 90,000 copies when it was released in May 2016. It was the highest-selling issue with Green Arrow as the main character in recent comics history, and received a second-printing. In comparison, the final issues of the previous Green Arrow series sold between 21,000 and 22,000 copies, the last Green Arrow #1, from the New 52 launch, sold 55,512 copies, and Kevin Smith‘s Green Arrow #1 from 2001 sold 85,046 copies.

From November 2019 Percy is the main writer of X-Force series and from February 2020 of Wolverine series for Marvel Comics.
