5 years ago , Marvel published what is still one of their most popular miniseries : Deadpool kill the Marvel Universe , a story that does exactly what it says in the rubric . Now Deadpool is back for another round of existence cleanup , but the set up is pointing to something a small different behind the latest bout of murder .
The original Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe serial , by Cullen Bunn , Dalibor Talajic , and Lee Loughridge , was a very metatextual amour . After Psycho Man tamper with Wade ’s mastermind in an endeavor to turn him into a fast assassin for him , Deadpool merrily remove his way around the Marvel Universe , consider himself an agent of loose will — having broken the fourth paries enough times to be aware of the endless hertz of comic Word of God persistence , reboots and events and scandalous twist and turn one after the other , he think he ’d do the heroes and villains of the Marvel Universe a party favor by snuff them out for good …
And then cash in one’s chips after the creators that made them . It ’s a very Deadpool - ian premise that , while horrifically gory , has a bit more of a humorous bent than you ’d expect for an insanely popular comic volume serial about murdering Marvel ’s biggest icon en masse shot .
Cullen Bunn and Dalibor Talajic regress to the well this calendar week for Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe Again — join by Goran Sudzuka and Miroslav Mrva — but it seems like , so far , this is a much more square tied and at long last more tragical thing than the first serial publication . Once again , Deadpool is mindcontrolled ( courtesy of a spoken command delivered by MODOK ) into murdering his ally , start with a few offshoots like Gambit and Luke Cage before really beginning by slaughter his teammates in the Uncanny Avengers , and the premise of it to turn him into a nefarious personal assassin is similar as well .
Deadpool goes on creatively killing Marvel ’s superheroic roll , like gathering the gods of Asgard and beyond to ossify them with the head of a Gorgon before shatter their stony word form . Yet , Wade Wilson is n’t really enacting vengeance for eld of being treated as a brain - addled joke like he was in Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe . This meter , he ’s actively under the control of another force ( revealed at the end of the first issue to be the Red Skull , Magneto , Dr. Doom , and a host of other Marvel villains ) , and as street storey Hero like Jessica Jones and Moon Knight discover investigating the wanton putting to death , Deadpool himself might be beginning to realize that his military action are n’t really his own either :
There ’s still some Deadpool - trademarked zaniness involve , of class , it ’s just less on the nose about its metatextual nature — while brainwashed , Deadpool see the world in confect colors like it ’s a retro risible playscript , and the hero he ’s ruthlessly extinguishing as corny old supervillains . But this also drive the fact that Deadpool ’s motivations in this sequel are very different to his one in the first : they ’re not his own , and he only scarce realises the horror of what he ’s in reality doing . This time around , Deadpool is n’t a willing factor of destruction , but a tragic cock that require help rather than to just be check before he can kill again .
We ’re only an issue in , so clip will evidence how this angle will play out — it could be a cerise Clupea harangus before reveal Wade really know what he was doing all along , bringing us more in line with the Deadpool we saw in the 2012 series . But in and out of the comics in the five years that have passed since Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe , Wade Wilson has exchange . He ’s an Avenger now , not a chaotic indifferent soldier of fortune . He ’s the star of myriad serial , riding high in popularity even more so now , from all the sexual love given to his wildly - successful live - activeness movie . So instead of the irredeemably brutal killer we see in Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe , Again gives us a brainwashed submarine who require rescue . So far , it ’s making for an interesting commentary on how Marvel sees Deadpool in 2017 compared to how they see him in 2012 .
