Cullen Bunn's Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time is the highly anticipated finale to the Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe saga. This time, Deadpool's murderous rampage isn't confined to a single universe; he's taking on the entire Marvel multiverse. The series promises a fresh take on the character, exploring new and twisted versions of familiar heroes and villains.
IGN recently spoke with Bunn, revealing that while the initial Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe wasn't planned as a trilogy, the idea of a multiverse-spanning story was pitched early on. Bunn describes the new series as an escalation, featuring battles against characters like Cap-Wolves and Worldbreaker Hulks, and even some incredibly obscure characters unseen in over 30 years.
Artist Dalibor Talajić, who collaborated with Bunn on the previous installments, returns to deliver a visually stunning experience. While the artistic style remains consistent throughout each individual "kill," Talajić's interpretation of different realities and variant characters promises a unique visual feast. The creative team aims for a distinct visual identity for this final chapter, differentiating it from the previous installments.
This new installment offers a standalone narrative, though observant readers may find subtle connections to the previous books. Crucially, the story focuses on a more sympathetic Deadpool, prompting readers to question their rooting interests. Bunn hints that this Deadpool's motivations and mindset make this story uniquely compelling.
The first issue of Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time is set for release on April 2nd, 2025.
