![]() ![]() ![]() So, what do you think? Is this a first meeting? The market clearly favors Wolverine #88, with a cool cover and a dedicated issue to both Deadpool and Wolverine talking and fighting. Does that count if they're in the same room together, fighting? One panel shows Deadpool amongst the X-Men, deciding to bow out of the fight, whereas Wolverine is in the distant background fighting the blob. Those points have created a grey area and left room for debate. However, and here's the kicker, Deadpool and Wolverine have no interaction (verbal or physical) with each other. Deadpool appears in nine panels as a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and directly interacts with Cyclops and Gambit. And it does feature the first meeting of Deadpool and the X-Men. First, it does appear to be in continuity.

With the announcement, fans and collectors have been grabbing every meeting between the two titans they can, including some more affordable books such as this fun Liefeld homage to McFarlane's Incredible Hulk #340 cover. Not necessarily a hero or villain quite yet, Deadpool was still being developed. Boy, does he bring his A-game with this epic cover and "All Along the Watchtower" storyline featuring yet another matchup between Deadpool and Wolverine. Interior artist, cover artist, and writer, this book had his name all over it. #5: WOLVERINE #155 | MARVEL | 2000 | This book is prime Rob Liefeld.

Relatively attainable and sporting a fantastic new villain, storyline, and overall development of Wolverine, this book has always been a favorite. While his fans have always included this book in his grouping of early keys, it certainly took 5th or even 6th fiddle to some of his more premium books. What an incredible journey for the character, to be sure.
