Reception

Wolverine: The Best There Is #1 received a rating of 1.5 out of 10 from IGN, a score described as "Unbearable" with reviewer Dan Iverson saying it had not a single redeeming quality. He blames writer Charlie Huston for 99% of what is wrong with the book, with only 1% of the blame going to artist Juan Jose Ryp for his artwork.[1] Chris Murphy of ComicsAlliance is strongly critical, calling it an "unfortunate compromise" stuck between an adult story, and trying to sell to a general audience. He also complains that Wolverine is an overexposed character. In keeping with the censored swearing used in the comic, he describes it as "####".[2]

Comic Book Resources gives it a rating of 3.0 out of 5. Reviewer Chad Nevett calls it a slightly above average beginning with a strong cliffhanger, but notes the need to settle on a tone.[3]
