Cullen Bunn's Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time is the highly anticipated finale to the Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe saga. This time, Deadpool's murderous rampage isn't confined to a single universe; he's tackling the entire Marvel multiverse. This new installment features a fresh take on the character, promising a more sympathetic protagonist despite the extreme violence.

IGN recently interviewed Bunn, revealing that while the initial concept for a multiverse-spanning Deadpool story was pitched early on, the timing now feels perfect. The creative team, including artist Dalibor Talajić, aims to deliver a visually stunning and wildly inventive experience, exceeding the already established level of creative mayhem. Talajić’s artistic style will continue to evolve, incorporating diverse visual elements to reflect the varied realities Deadpool encounters.

The story, while building upon the previous installments, stands alone. While observant readers might notice subtle connections to the earlier books, One Last Time offers a self-contained narrative. Bunn emphasizes a more empathetic portrayal of Deadpool, prompting readers to question their allegiances. The conflict will feature a diverse array of characters, including both familiar and obscure heroes and villains, many of whom haven't been seen in decades. Expect battles against powerful foes like Cap-Wolves and Worldbreaker Hulks, among others. Bunn remains tight-lipped about specific matchups to preserve the surprises within the comic.

The first issue features a unique approach, focusing on a Deadpool whose motivations and mindset set this story apart from its predecessors. The escalation of the conflict is achieved not only through the sheer scale of the multiverse but also through a deeper exploration of Deadpool's character and motivations.
