Cullen Bunn's Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe trilogy concludes with Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time, a multiversal massacre featuring a surprisingly sympathetic Wade Wilson. This isn't a direct sequel to the previous entries, offering a fresh storyline while hinting at connections for observant readers.
The first two installments depicted Deadpool's universe-wide killing sprees stemming from different motivations: disillusionment with his comic book existence and villainous mind control. This time, Bunn flips the script, presenting a Deadpool whose goals might even garner reader support.
Bunn, a prolific Deadpool writer, initially pitched a multiverse storyline, aligning perfectly with the escalating stakes of the series. This installment sees Deadpool facing off against variant heroes and villains, including Cap-Wolves and Worldbreaker Hulks, across the Marvel multiverse. Artist Dalibor Talajić continues his innovative approach, exploring diverse artistic styles and interpretations of these multiversal characters.
While the story stands alone, subtle connections to previous entries might intrigue longtime fans. The focus remains on Deadpool's actions, but this iteration presents a more sympathetic anti-hero, challenging readers to question their allegiances. The book promises epic battles and the return of obscure characters unseen for decades. Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time #1 releases April 2, 2025.
