The comic received an 8 out of 10 stars from Matthew Aguilar:

Leave it to Funko and IDW to make a Boomer adorable. That’s exactly what the duo have done with Gears of War Pop #1, a one-shot special that is purely just for fun but succeeds in that goal. Georgia Ball, Mark Roberts, and Thomas Deep put your favorite characters from the franchise in smile-worthy situations and coupled with Nico Pena and Valentina Pinto’s fabulous art makes it all feel unquestionably Funko Pop. There are several stories included in the one-shot, and while some are better than others, there’s not really a dud in the bunch, and you’ll find yourself laughing and smiling quite a bit by issue’s end. If you’re looking for some serious story substance this is not your jam of course, but if you’re up to having some fun in the Gears universe, you’ve come to the right place.
