Cullen Bunn's Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time is the highly anticipated finale to the Deadpool Kills saga, expanding the carnage beyond a single universe to encompass the entire Marvel multiverse. This latest installment sees Deadpool facing off against a vast array of twisted and powerful variants of Marvel's heroes and villains, from Cap-Wolves to Worldbreaker Hulks and beyond.
IGN recently interviewed Bunn, revealing that while the initial Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe wasn't planned as a trilogy, the idea of a multiverse-spanning story was pitched early on. This new chapter offers a fresh take, though observant readers might find connections to the previous entries. Bunn emphasizes this story's self-contained nature, requiring no prior knowledge of the series.
