Wish it was expanded even further and had more examples of how Deadpool goes about his dirty work but still a really good story and brilliantly illustrated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Darkly, brilliantly fun

Go on: name one other Marvel character that could get away with starring in such a volume.It's ridiculous and sublime and I just hope they follow it up with a simgle volume collection of the equally mad Deadpool Kills Deadpool series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, direct, and gritty. A great read.

<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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't Judge A/This Book by its Cover

J.O. · 10 December 2015

I know the saying, but one thing I hate, is when the cover artwork bears no relation to what's inside. There have been lots of comments about the artwork and I understand why nowI don't understand where the design for Deadpool's costume comes from, in this. It is fairly flexible anyway, but in general, most iterations look close to what is shown on the cover of this book. However, what they did inside, looks like a tacky cosplay outfit, of a made up hero. At times he looks like he's wearing a nappy. I really struggled to get over it, especially as the book isn't very big anyway and the story wasn't gripping enough to distract me from itThe story itself is a decent concept, it just could have been so much better

4.0 out of 5 stars Great

Deadpool en su lado mas oscuro

M.H. · 26 February 2016

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.

I loved it

Super Comic. Super Ende und sehr brutal lustig. Deadpool eben^^Die Idee für die Fortsetzung ist auch super. Da killt Deadpool dann literarische Figuren von Moby Dick bis Kafka. Super. Aber den hab ich mir dann im Comicladen gekauft, schließlich sollte diese Kunstform unterstützt werden und dort kann man Nerds treffen;)
