Wolverine and Deadpool

History

Initially titled Wolverine Unleashed, the comic became Wolverine and Gambit before changing to Wolverine and Deadpool in 2004 with issue 104. Each issue then featured two Wolverine reprints and one Deadpool story, replacing the Gambit story.

During the first volume, Panini mainly reprinted Deadpool's first ongoing solo series, including runs by Joe Kelly and Gail Simone. A second volume began with a new no.1 in June 2010, reprinting one issue each of Wolverine, Uncanny X-Force, and Deadpool for 60 issues. Volume 3 started in July 2014 after the Final Execution Uncanny X-Force storyline, volume 4 in August 2016 reprinting All-New Wolverine and Deadpool's ongoing series, and volume 5 in January 2018.

Format

Each issue runs 76 pages and currently features one Wolverine tale alongside two Deadpool stories. For the first three volumes, that split was flipped, but volume four changed things with the arrival of All-New Wolverine and a surge in Deadpool’s fame after his 2016 film. The cover price jumped from £3.50 to £3.99 starting with volume four, though a cheaper subscription exists. The inside back cover hosts a letters page called Mutants and Motormouths.
