<b><u>Review brought by <a href="thegeeklyreview.blogspot.com">Geekly Review</a></u></b> What if everything you thought funny about Deadpool was, in reality, purely disturbing? What if he decided to kill everyone around him and destroy what composes the Marvel Universe? What if he actually managed to achieve this? How would this be? By Cullen Bunn and Dalibor Talajic, this is, in short, what makes up the plot of ‘Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe’ (part one of the Deadpool Killogy). It collects specifically issues #1-4, and remains centred on the plot outlined above throughout the entirety of the comic. Wade Wilson takes an amazing turn for the dark in this horror-like comic, and this disturbing, graphic, and episodic graphic novel is a wonderful read. I’ve always been a fan of Deadpool, but particularly so of the more dark areas of his persona. I love the humour he is always imbued with – in some runs more than in others – but Wade Wilson is one of my favourite characters to follow. So when I realised that there was a comic that entered this dark area of the Merc with a Mouth, I naturally couldn’t wait to purchase it and read it. Deadpool is quick-witted, sarcastic, and brutally violent in this story, and it fits perfectly with the outline of the plot. It isn’t that he simply wants to kill other Marvel characters for fun, but rather, he has found a reason to do so; namely the realisation that they all truly are in a comic book, leading him to want to break them out of all of the pain, deaths, struggles, and rebirths that result from other human minds creating fiction. Sounds strange? Perhaps, but it works out perfectly with Deadpool’s character, and gives the story a very good and dark point of view. It isn’t just random killings (though the execution seems to not follow any specific order), and it’s starkly clear that the sole aim of Wade Wilson is to end the Marvel Universe in the most definitive way, including the very fact that it exists to begin with. Heroes and villains alike fall, the Taskmaster attempts to put an end to Deadpool, and when Professor X realises what Deadpool had known all along he is driven into a catatonic state. To Wade Wilson himself, of course, he isn’t truly killing any of them, and this is perhaps what made me love the interpretation of Deadpool in this comic along with its humour and its plot. He isn’t killing them for the simple fact that they never existed to begin with, and are just characters in a comic. This is something which us, as readers, are always aware of, but it is the reaction of Deadpool and the other characters to this fact that makes it fantastic as a central plot. It is a perfect manipulation of what is attractive and funny about Deadpool’s character to begin with, turning it into a darker and grittier element that makes only sense of him to have. This flows very naturally, and has a great characterisation in its particular circumstances of him without any unnecessary and out of place humour, making the comic wonderful and a pleasure to read. The deaths of other characters aren’t too drawn out. There are no huge battles in the most part, and a lot of the time this title relies in showing these in the background. Perhaps a longer length would have been beneficial in making these more pronounced and more good commentary and Deadpool action, but in my opinion the length isn’t a problem, and it succeeded in neither being too long or too short. I spent a good amount of time rereading ‘Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe’ noting and looking at all of the different deaths and details, which made my second reading of the comic as enjoyable as the first one. The art itself I don’t have much to say about. It fits the style of the comic well, as well as the many different characters and events. It is great and enjoyable, though there isn’t much to describe about it, unlike in other titles. It is an element which is appreciated, but the main attractive of this first part of the Deadpool Killogy is the plot itself. It is the logical end to Deadpool’s ability to see past the fourth wall. The humour perhaps isn’t suited for all Deadpool fans, and fans of Joe Kelly’s run of the character will probably enjoy this comic a lot more than those who prefer the Daniel Way run, different as both runs are. It is, like the plot, dark, up to the point, and gritty. Fantastic for those who enjoy this type of humour. As such, I’d give ‘Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe’ 4 out of 5 stars, with a heavy recommendation to buy in order to check it out. Love or hate it, it is undoubtedly worth reading, and it showcases a part of the character that can’t go unread.

All I can really say negatively is that it doesn’t look brand new since it has a few little damages on the corners and the back. I can get past it though and I would assume it came from shipping. Other than that it looks very good and I’m excited to get into it the artwork looks great

The best thing about this book is the underlying premise, a take of Deadpool's habit of breaking the fourth wall that can't be explained without spoiling the story. Suffice it to say this isn't just a "kill fest" - this book has something to say about comics and superheroes and its worth listening to. That aside, this is a great book to look at. The art is frenetic and has great pace. It's not afraid to do gore, but it never felt gratuitous to me. Maybe I was desensitized by the end of issue 1! Some of the deaths are very cleverly done though and it does make you wonder, along with Deadpool, why some of the Marvel Villians didn't think of doing things this way.

one of the first tpb i read, quite a good story imo

This is the 1st part of a stand alone Deadpool series that makes a twist on Deadpools character. The main premise is someone unlocks something deep in Deadpool and he takes it upon himself to take out everyone of standing in the Marvel universe...EVERYONE! The length of the book is short, and thus you won't find him killing all the characters, and even in some you might find references to and perhaps even multiple take downs. Despite the length I liked the story. It sets itself up for more by the end. Perhaps the main premise was a little obvious almost from the outset, yet it never outright says it. It just gets more and more obvious what is motivating Deadpool, building a somewhat tension for the final frame. The artwork is gory and well executed. It fits the tone of the comic. Bottom line...as a Deadpool fan I'm intrigued to see where this is going. Though there as some stand out jokes, don't expect the same level of humour as most of his other books. This book is mostly about the set up story arc.

A very good book. This book contains the four issues of Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe and five issues of Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe Again. The two stories are not related simply two different What Ifs with the same premise. When the X-MEN take Deadpool to be cured of his insanity they find a monster unleashed. Deadpool kills the Marvel Universe. As stated in the intro this is not the funny goof Deadpool. This is a dark-driven and calculating Deadpool working with a single purpose. I would give this story 4 stars. In most cases, Deadpool seems to kill the MU too easily. In Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe Again, Deadpool is being used as a weapon. A group of heroes are trying to save him but has he already crossed the line of no return? Is it already to the point that Deadpool needs to be stopped for anyone to survive? This story is 4.5 stars. Interesting way of showing how things look in Deadpool's mind as opposed to what he is actually doing. A not-so-innocent game of hide and seek is an example of this. A great value book having both story arcs. This series was so popular that a third story is coming out. The book finishes with a thumbnail variant cover gallery.

I love Deadpool and I love Marvel. This was the perfect read for me.

Versión en Inglés (He hecho la descripción de manera que no hubiera spoilers) Si alguna vez te has preguntado si a Deadpool se le puede tomar en serio ya te digo que no, pero eso no quiere decir que no sea peligroso. Este es uno de mis comics favoritos, en el que Deadpool descubre algo muy importante que le lleva a enfrentarse a los super heroes del universo Marvel. La historia tiene un tono muy oscuro comparada con el resto de sus aventuras y desde luego no es muy agradable para los heroes con los que se encuentra, pero en esencia es Deadpool.

Premium quality Packaging.No issues

História e enredo muito criativos, apresentam o Universo Marvel de uma forma totalmente diferente... Com uma ação que não se torna repetitiva nem perde o tom!

Story is OK, Graphic disappointing - but is a personal sense of aesthetics. Book has no 202 pages - 100 only.
