Cullen Bunn's Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time is the highly anticipated conclusion to the Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe saga. This time, Deadpool's rampage isn't confined to a single universe; he's targeting the entire Marvel multiverse. This third installment, while a standalone story, offers subtle connections to the previous two, creating a unique narrative experience.
IGN recently interviewed Bunn, revealing that the idea for a multiverse-spanning Deadpool story was conceived early on, alongside other potential storylines. The challenge of escalating the conflict from the previous books, where Deadpool decimated iconic teams like the X-Men and Avengers, was met by expanding the scope to encompass countless alternate realities. This allows for encounters with bizarre and powerful variants, including Cap-Wolves and Worldbreaker Hulks.
Artist Dalibor Talajić, returning for this final chapter, will continue his innovative approach to visual storytelling, further enhancing the already chaotic narrative. Bunn hints at the inclusion of obscure characters unseen in decades, promising epic battles and a surprisingly sympathetic portrayal of Deadpool. This iteration of Deadpool, according to Bunn, is arguably the most relatable, even while committing mass multiverse murder.
Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time #1 releases April 2, 2025. While the story is self-contained, keen readers will find subtle connections to the previous entries. Prepare for a wild ride filled with unprecedented carnage and unexpected twists.
