REVIEW: Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe

PLOT: What if everything you thought was funny about Deadpool was actually just disturbing? What if he decided to kill everyone and everything that makes up the Marvel Universe? What if he actually pulled it off? Would that be FUN for you? The Merc with a Mouth takes a turn for the twisted in a horror comic like no other!

REVIEW: I have already read Deadpool Killustrated which was a spin off from this book, and Deadpool has taken it upon himself to destroy everything around him. Deadpool has been convinced that everything in the Marvel universe deserves to die, so it is now the beginning of the end for Deadpool. Realizing that he's just a character, he wants to take it out on all the rest of them and become to lone survivor. What is really fun about these Deadpool books is that they are very self aware in the sense that he knows he's in a comic book. It makes it really fun to read a character that is pretty much there just to entertain you, whether it's in the book or outside of it. It's only once in a lifetime that you get to see Deadpool just kill every single one of the characters you grew up with and read in Marvel, including one particularly fantastic frame of him blowing Spider-Man's brains out with a pistol. It's things like this that you know that are one of a kind, that are really great. I especially like when Marvel tackles more adult themes or stories, because they usually end up being a lot better than usual. This is a must read for Deadpool fans and anybody looking for an entertaining, but violent comic book read.

REVIEW: Deadpool Killustrated

PLOT: Deadpool has already killed every hero in the Marvel Universe, but he isn't through. This time...Deadpool's gonna take down the most famous characters in classic literature! Why read a book when you can watch a book die?! Tom Sawyer gets slashed in TWAIN! The Little Women's throats MAY get ALL-CUT! Scrooge gets a visit from THREE BULLETS! Gulliver gets a SWIFT DEATH! The Three Musketeers are all for DONE! Sherlock Holmes gets to the bottom of HIS OWN GRAVE! And more book-related puns! Can Deadpool rid the universe of the scourge of classical literature?

REVIEW: Considering that I'm fairly new to the character of Deadpool in writing, all of this material just seems absolutely great to me. Anything Deadpool I read at the moment I would love, because I don't have a lot of experience with the character. Now, I do think this is supposed to be one of the more fun comics with Deadpool, and there are obvious reasons why. After his killing spree through the Marvel universe, which I have yet to read, Deadpool sets his sights on the characters that inspired the creation of all the heroes and villains in the Marvel universe. Thus, Deadpool takes his dead fleshy self to the "Ideaverse" as he likes to call it, where all things fictional come to creation. What is awesome about this book is that Deadpool literally goes all through classic literature and starts knocking off popular characters and worlds one by one. The covers actually do a pretty good job of showing how this book is meant to be taken, and it's really just another example of why Deadpool is so much fun. He's very self aware as well as aware of the reader reading the book, and his whole personality revolves around that. This book is the strongest of the two I've read in showing how Deadpool is a conscious character, aware that he's in a fictional world, and because of that it's really funny. This book is definitely for adults too, so if you're a fan of Marvel and want a good character to read, Deadpool is your guy.
