So, after the events of the rather enjoyable ‘Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe’ we once again get escorted on yet another weird and wacky adventure with everyone’s favourite merc with a mouth.
Having realized that there are endless multiverses and his task of killing is far greater then he first imagined, Deadpool embarks on massacre through classical literature to kill the inspiration for each classic marvel superhero, thus wiping out all versions of them in each and every multiverse in one fell sweep.
The art is fantastic throughout and it’s brilliant to see some of the classic heroes and villains from classic books realised in the marvel world. Each panel has lots going on and each grab the reader’s attention. The action is well detailed and flows amazingly well, with only a few hiccups along the way. The art gets across the weird nature of the story in a fantastic way. The series also features some of the most magnificent covers that are brilliant parodies of the classic stories.
With such a brilliantly barmy idea, I was truly looking forward to this adventure, especially after the enjoyable first part in Deadpool’s ‘killiogy’. It is an idea that feels truly original and one that should have been hilarious, but unfortunately it never quite reaches its true potential. Still it’s worth a look especially considering it’s the middle part of a trilogy that gets considerably better in it’s final volume.
