Death's Head #1 reserves the lion's share of its attention for Hulkling and Wiccan, particularly the latter hero. It's an effective strategy that doesn't short the star as much as you might think. Death's Head always works best as a foil for more straightforward heroes, and this issue lays the groundwork for a doozy of a team-up. It's also got a gloriously distinctive visual style that's worth a look all by itself. Read Full Review

Wild, humorous and boasting some full-on heavy metal artwork, Deaths Head is your new favourite Marvel Comic, yes? Read Full Review

Though certainly not the Marvel UK reboot you would expect, but for certain the most fun, Death's Head #1 is another win for Tini Howard at Marvel. Backed by heavy, but engaging artwork and colors from Kei Zama and Felipe Sobreiro, the team bring Marvel's most posh assassin robot back into the fold in a really funny and narratively promising way. You enjoy cool robots and superhero boyfriends, yes? Then Death's Head #1 has you covered this week. Read Full Review

Howard does a great job of introducing the titular character to a new audience and ensnaring a decidedly hapless Hulkling and Wiccan into a story that promises to get even stranger. Zama's art is bold and mostly impressive, and the issue ends with the kind of revelation that throws open all sorts of possibilities for this series. All in all, this is a very engaging, cleverly-written start to the series. Recommended. Read Full Review

Death's Head #1 is the start of an insane and hilarious new miniseries. I can see why they limited to four issues, even while considering it a shame that it won't go on longer. It's already proving to be just as fun and chaotic than expected. And it's pulled in even more named Marvel characters than I was expecting. Read Full Review

An interesting book. Unorthodox, funny, action packed, and ever so slightly odd. This may not be the Death's Head you were looking for, or expecting, but he will be after reading this. Yes? Read Full Review

DEATH'S HEAD #1 is a great beginning for Marvel's new miniseries. If you're in the mood for big guns and mile-a-minute action, you won't want to miss this one. Read Full Review

There might be a little too much to introduce in the space allotted, but it's all interesting and fun, good-looking and there's a punk rock show that looks pretty rad. Read Full Review

A decent story that is worth reading if you're looking for something different from Marvel, but cluttered and confusing artwork stop this comic from being the best it can be. Read Full Review

Death's Head is a series with all the right pieces (characters, talented creators, ideas) and it will improve if it can find a clear direction following this messy (re)introduction. Read Full Review

I've always enjoyed the under used character, that is deaths head. The comic has a really cool late 80's early 90's, punk rock attitude to it. Which is right up my alley, so I'm in. Can't wait for issue 2.

Yondu banishes Death's Head to Earth where he stumbles randomly (IS it random?) into Wiccan and Hulkling. It's a brisk in-media-res start with a lot of promise, and I strongly suspect it'll go somewhere great -- but I'm not 100% sure yet. Art and writing are well above average, but there's some roughness that feels unintentional along with the more stylistic punk roughness.

This is weird. Not sure how to feel about it. But I think I liked it? My opinion will become clearer with next issue, hopefully.
