Oh man, it's finally happened! Deadpool's back at it again, slicing his way through the Marvel universe and taking on some of the lesser-known heroes. And let me tell you, this time he's got some serious company - I'm talking about the one and only Gwenpool, whose team-up with the Merc with a Mouth is something I've been eagerly anticipating for ages. I'm pretty sure their story is going to be a wild ride.
This issue was a pleasant surprise, as the writers have really turned the tables on why Wade's so obsessed with killing his fellow superheroes. Now, I know what you're thinking - it's a bit of a tired concept (no pun intended), but I'm willing to give the creators a pass on this one. I mean, it's not like we haven't seen this before, but hey, a new Deadpool story is always worth reading.
If you're a fan of dark humor, you're going to love how Deadpool effortlessly takes down a team of heroes and leaves them for dead. Although, I have to say, it's worth noting that he only kills superheroes - civilians are safe from his wrath. That's just good old-fashioned Deadpool, folks!
So, is this comic worth reading? Well, that's a silly question. If you're a fan of the character, you've probably already got this one on your shelf (or waiting for you in the mail). But if you're new to the world of Marvel comics, I'd recommend starting with some of Deadpool's solo adventures to get a feel for his unique brand of crazy.
And, as always, I ordered this from Labyrinth and was impressed with their speedy delivery. The comic was wrapped up nice and tight, and I've got no complaints about the service. Thanks, guys - you're the best!

Remember when Deadpool went off the rails and destroyed the entire Marvel universe?
This is a whole different story. The writer, Cullen Bunn, and artist, Dalibor Talajic, who brought you the first-ever Deadpool Meat-Fest, are back to tell a new tale of death and destruction, this time starring the loquacious merc with a mouth! And Wade Wilson is taking down all your favorite characters in the most brutal ways possible! Think Gwenpool! Moon Knight! Ms. Marvel! The Guardians of the Galaxy! Even the Lunatic and the Devil Dinosaur! It's gonna hurt him way more than it's gonna hurt you, but you're gonna love it! One thing's for sure - you won't believe your eyes when Deadpool destroys the entire Marvel universe... again!
This collection includes issues #1-5 of the comic book series "Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe. Again". Written by Cullen Bunn. Art by Dalibor Talajic, Goran Sudžuka, and Miroslav Mrva.
Let's get one thing straight - this storyline doesn't affect any of the solo projects for the characters and isn't even an alternate universe that could impact the so-called classic arcs where the overall universe storyline actually develops. This is pure fan service. And it's top-notch, with a healthy dose of black humor. I mean, fans love it when their heroes go at it with each other.
I've gotta say, it's a real treat to see Deadpool's latest failed attempts to take down the Merc with a Mouth. Who says death can't be beautiful? This guy's got a lot to say about it, even as he's bleeding out. And let's be real, he loves to chat.
I don't want to give away too much of the story, but let's just say it's all about Deadpool's motivations. Honestly, it makes total sense to explore this character's psyche, especially given his regenerative abilities and all the head trauma he's been through. It's only a matter of time before he loses his grip on reality. It's not like you'd see a comic called 'Spider-Man Kills Marvel' or anything. But with Deadpool, it's a whole different story. I mean, he's already proven himself to be a ruthless killer in the Civil War, taking out all sorts of minor and secondary characters. And what's the reward? A nice fat paycheck for his troubles. So, what's the surprise here? He's just doing his job, taking out the bad guys and collecting his pay. It's what he does best.
This issue really won my heart over. In some moments, it's even more thought-out than its predecessor, where the meat was left out of the picture and we just saw the already dead heroes. I won't say there are a lot more dynamic scenes, but the sense of presence and the ability to squeeze out a tear of sadness or sympathy is way stronger in this comic. I was really on edge for Gwenpool, and I kept hoping everything would be okay with her. I mean, it's Gwenpool – she can't lose to a 'crazy beast' in a mask, and she's bound to come out of this arc unscathed. And the other heroes didn't disappoint either. Overall, the atmosphere of the comic really draws you in.
I had a blast reading this story, and it's earned its spot on the shelf right next to the other Marvel comics. I'd definitely recommend it to fans of the character – it's a real treat. Trust me, you won't be bored.
From me, the highest rating, friends. Thanks to everyone who stopped by. Until next time!
