Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe #3 Reviews
-
With Taskmaster hot on his trails our beloved Deadpool keeps ripping apart the Marvel Universe one piece at a time. But why?
Is this just the realization of what his subconsciousness was trying to tell him all this years or something more sinister?
Deadpool had a blast in this issue and so did i. I 'm not a big fan of X-Men so it wasn't really hard for me to watch them get slaughtered one by one, I mean in the previous installment he killed my favorite Avengers and i didn't even blink -ok maybe i shed a tear when he offed Thor- but anyway in this part the writer did an amazing job.
While Deadpool vandalized Mother Earth and the heroes that roam her, Taskmaster also did his job exceptionally well and managed to find out his secret-secret plan, hmmm. I can't wait to read the last issue in order to find out what that is..
NOTABLE KILLINGS IN THIS PART:
THE X-MEN
PROFESSOR XAVIER
DR. STRANGE -
This was a very good issue. Taskmaster was awesome in it.

Bak bu sıkıcıydı.

Oof, Professor X is forced to watch as Deadpool brutally annihilates his students. I would've thought the X-Men stood more of a chance against Wade but they were all wiped out in a couple of panels, with the exception of Kitty Pryde (though being trapped inside a mirror prison forever is kinda a worse way to go out).

La trama es realmente muy rápida, mata extremadamente rápido a todos los héroes y villanos, tanto que parece realmente fácil de matarlos. Pero realmente no me molesta, ya que la historia tiene pies y cabeza. Y hasta el momento esta es la historieta con el final mas abierto de la serie.

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. -

I still love Deadpool's humor. He's taking the whole breaking-the-fourth-wall to the extreme, though.
