Newsarama - Robert Reed
May 07, 2018You Are Deadpool #1 is a comic book that will surprise the reader. Is the Choose Your Own Adventure angle a gimmick? Yes, but one that is extremely effective, particularly given the character's ongoing meta-commentary. Al Ewing and Salva Espin get a lot of mileage out of the concept, and the use of panels and page space is brilliant. With the added RPG elements, this really does work as a game in comic book form, adding to a certain sense of excitement that the reader’s decisions will influence which issue they move onto next.

May 02, 2018Play this book right and you get to see Kieron Gillen stab Deadpool with a sandwich. And that's just the tutorial for what we're still not legally allowed to call Choose Your Own Deadpool Adventure! Definitely not the deepest darkest Deadpool comic being published right now, but it's a remarkably strong contender for the funniest. Read Full Review

WOW! It's like the most entertaining and unusual thing I read in my life (maybe)! It's like these books of R. Stine where you can make choices and it tells you what page to read next and get your own version of the story... Of course this format has some disadvantages, just like in Telltale games - a real logic and solid character development is really hard to achieve. Basically, some of your choices don't change the story, only emotional impact on you. And sometimes the story can't be really deep and focused. That's the case here - this story is such a basic thing. It exists almost just to exist. However, the comic really works even without an intriguing story. It's simply fun to read (however "play" is a better word). Also, the more

A book whose you are the heroes with deadpool as heroes. I loved making him take the path he didn't want and been beaten, but I least I choose the right ending. I will wait for the other issue. Cover - I choose the variant but I mistaken with the one where he play roleplaying game. So a little disappointed about this one. Nice & related 2/2 Writing - It wasn't easy but they doing it very nicely. 3/3 Arts - The arts was really good and funny. 3/3 Feeling - I enjoy it. 1/2

I barely grab any Deadpool books, but I had to check this out and glad I did. Ewing's writing is great, and Espin's art is on point as usual. Great team, fun book and look forward to the next issue. Make sure you take the right path or doom lol. Also for being a six page tutorial it was fun and went smoothly. 9 out of 10..

Really Fun, but comedy occasionally falls flat with reliance on "random equals funny" humor.

Choose Your Own Deadpool Adventure kicks off with a goofy bang. The gimmick is enhanced with some genuine role-playing details, and there's more than enough humor along the way to make flipping back and forth rewarding. The art masters the challenge of skipping around nicely. It's not all-time great or endlessly memorable, but it is a ton of fun. I read this on MU and appreciate that somebody took the time to tease the digital edition into the best possible format for a CYOA comic.

The coming weeks will prove if this is more than a neat gimmick, but I had fun with this one. I got a 3 badness score, always knew I was a bad boy.
