Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe

Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe

Has Deadpool finally lost his mind or are the voices in his head finally talking some sense. In this Marvel mini-series written by Cullen Bunn (The Sixth Gun) and illustrated by Dalibor Talajic (Deadworld, Hit-Monkey), Deadpool goes on an unparalleled killing spree.

Deadpool has always been a bit on the unstable side and so would you if you had voices talking to you. In an effort to help him get better the X-men have brought Deadpool to the Ravencroft asylum. The treatment is suppose to help him get ride of the voices in his head and they are successful. But, once the voices disappear, a new singular voice arises and it wants only one thing–for Deadpool to kill the Marvel universe.

A unexpectedly more serious and dark toned Deadpool comic. In it even he begins to question his own sanity. As you would expect it’s stocked full of gruesume and inventive deaths. It does take some special effort for some of these guys to die due to their superpowers. Great mini series that continues in Deadpool Killustrated.

Battle Scars

A soldier returning home gets caught in the center of a battle between superheroes and supervillans. A Marvel series written by  Christopher Yost (X-Force, Red Robin), Matt Fraction (Defenders, The Mighty Thor), Cullen Bunn (Venom, Wolverine) and illustrated by Scot Eaton (Sigil, Swamp Thing).

Army Ranger Marcus Jones has been fighting for his life and the lives of his fellow soldiers overseas in Iraq. He is an exceptional soldier who has done his tour of duty and is heading back home. When he arrives at his mother’s house he is attacked. What follows is something Marcus has trouble believing. A full on battle between superheroes and supervillans. Soon he is saved by S.H.E.I.L.D and after some confusion it is explained that his life is in danger. What is it that makes Marcus so important?

A series that is one part homage to the soldiers overseas and the other part sets up something in the Marvel universe. There is a big emphasis on hand to hand combat which goes with whole soldier aspect. What they are setting up will either come as a surprise or it will be quite obvious from the beginning. That aside, it is a refreshing read for those that enjoy non powered lead characters.

Deadpool is out to kill everyone and to do that he needs to kill the classics. In Marvel’s latest Deadpool mini-series written by Cullen Bunn (Venom, The Sixth Gun) and illustrated by Matteo Lolli (Marvel Adventures Spider-Man, X-Termination), Deadpool kills the literary world.

Having killed all the marvel universe (and parallel universes), Deadpool is still alive. Using the brains of some of the smartest villains, he creates a portal to certain other worlds. They are the worlds where classical literature exists. If he can kill all the classics maybe finally he can get some rest, by bringing about the end of existence.

Picks up where Deadpool Vs. Marvel Universe left off. After a bunch of explaining about why he needs to kill the classics it kicks off. Much more funny and not as serious as the previous mini-series. Definitely pick this up if you want to see where the story is headed.
