Marvel's Bloodiest Trilogy Concludes with Deadpool's Ultimate Annihilation

Cullen Bunn and Dalibor Talajić's Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time is the highly anticipated finale to their bloody trilogy. This time, Deadpool's rampage isn't confined to a single universe; he's taking on the entire Marvel multiverse.

IGN recently interviewed Bunn, revealing that while he initially pitched several Deadpool concepts, the multiverse storyline proved the most fitting culmination. The challenge of escalating the conflict from previous installments, which saw Deadpool decimate the X-Men, Avengers, and Fantastic Four, was met by expanding the scope to encompass countless alternate realities.

An exclusive preview showcases Deadpool facing off against bizarre variants, including Cap-Wolves and Worldbreaker Hulks, alongside numerous obscure and twisted versions of familiar heroes and villains. Bunn emphasizes the unique approach to this installment, highlighting Talajić's evolving artistic style and the introduction of characters unseen in decades. While he remains tight-lipped about specific matchups, he promises a spectacle of epic proportions.

Unlike the previous, thematically distinct entries, this installment offers a fresh start while subtly hinting at connections to its predecessors. Bunn assures readers that the story stands alone, but observant readers may notice intriguing links to earlier events. Crucially, this Deadpool is presented as more sympathetic than his previous incarnations, prompting the question: what if we rooted for Deadpool's success in his universe-shattering mission?

Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time #1 arrives April 2nd, 2025. For more Marvel news, check out IGN's coverage of Marvel's 2025 lineup and most anticipated comics.
