Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe Again and It Actually Works | Comic Book Review







Film companies realized they could make more money by making reboots and sequels to existing IPs. I think to be fair, comics did it first and still do it to this day… That brings us to Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe One Last Time.

Now, you’d probably assume by my opening statement that I hate reboots and pointless sequels that try to pull you in through the appealing nature of nostalgia, and you’d be right. HOWEVER, occasionally, there are times when the reboot is fun, even if it isn't necessarily warranted.

Deadpool kills the Marvel Universe one last time is that occasional fun time. We open up on Deadpool, serious as ever not even quipping. Can I say this is my favorite trope lately? The hero loses their identifying personality or power, and they eventually get back because, of course, they do. It’s reaching a tipping point of being too much, but I’m enjoying it.

Then Deadpool is recruited to do some killing. Even though he is reluctant at first, he is convinced in a very on-brand way to start killing beloved heroes and characters of note in the Marvel Universe. However, there is a twist and a purpose that we don’t know yet.

I’m a massive fan of Deadpool it was one of the first characters that made me really dive deep into comic books. I think the writer Cullen Bunn hits the nail on the head with this one. It’s interesting, fun, and a good time. THOUGH I did wish there was a bit of time spent in each universe a little bit more, I understand why, even from a character perspective of “I’m just going to get this over with,” we didn’t… I would’ve still enjoyed seeing the alternate worlds more. I think that is due to an unfortunate format constraint of having to get your storytelling done within 22-ish pages. That’s another article for another time.

I want to tip my hat to artist Dalibor Talajic, his art is good, fun, and, most importantly, coherent. My biggest gripe in any comic book is that the double-spread pages are confusing, and I never know where to look or how to read it at first glance, Dalibor moves your eyes in the right direction. It’s a small detail but the flow of comic books and trying your best to not ruin reader emersion is really important.

I’ll give it a heck yeah, and add it to the pull list! I’m excited to see where it goes and hear the backstory of the surprise reveal at the end. Have you read it? Let me know what you think in the comments down below! Ok, bye now!

Vatican City #1 Review – Does Mark Millar’s New Comic Deliver? | Comic Book Review

 Vampires… they probably the most overdone concept right next to zombies and superheroes. Does Mark Millar stick the landing with his new vampire comic “Vatican City”, or does it kick my ass into wanting to read something else? Let’s chat. First, if you don’t know Mark Millar, he’s known for writing Kick-Ass, Marvel Civil War, Super Crooks, Old Man Logan, Jupiter’s Legacy, Nemesis, and a lot more comics. I’m a fan of Mr. Millar. He’s written a handful of my favorite comics, like Kick-Ass. I also want to mention that I was kindly given an early review copy from Mr. Millar himself and am extremely grateful that he was kind enough to give a review copy to a new reviewer without an audience… thank you. That is rarely done… with that being said, I don’t know if it’s a stand out amongst what I’ve read this year so far. I had to go back and read kick-ass #1 to understand my gut reaction and gripes about this story, but before I tell you about that, let me tell you what Vatican City i...

Resurrection Man Returns! | Comic Book Review

13 years ago after his New 52 series ended, the resurrection man has returned. I just finished reading Resurrection Man #1 and... Yeah, this run is going to be awesome. If you don’t know what his powers are, basically, when he dies he comes back to life with a new power that has to do with how he died. So, if he died in a fire he gets fire powers. Dies falling out of a plane, he wakes with the power to fly. He is an awesome cult classic character from the 90s created by writers Andy Lanning and Dan Abentt and artists Jackson Guice back in 1997. I haven’t read the original runs, but I’ve seen him pop through the DC multiverse. but I’ve got to say this comic is awesome. It’s raw, badass storytelling with some very interesting and captivating art. The art is not clean marvel boilerplate art, and I love that about this comic. It’s just its own thing that stands out amongst this week and possibly this year of new releases. The team behind this is writer Ram V, and artist Anand RK, I hope ...
