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

IGN recently interviewed Bunn, revealing details about this multiversal massacre. The preview images showcase the chaotic scale of the conflict.

Bunn, a prolific Deadpool writer, admits he didn't initially plan a trilogy. His initial pitch was a multiversal story, a concept that's now perfectly timed. The challenge of escalating the conflict led to the multiverse setting, pitting Deadpool against wildly different versions of Marvel heroes and villains, including Cap-Wolves and Worldbreaker Hulks.

Bunn emphasizes the unique visual style Talajić brings to the series, promising a fresh approach to depicting the carnage across different realities and character variations. While previous installments offered distinct reasons for Deadpool's actions (nihilism and brainwashing), this installment presents a more sympathetic Deadpool, with a mission that makes readers question their allegiances.

This latest installment is largely self-contained, though observant readers might find connections to previous entries. The focus is on a new, surprisingly sympathetic Deadpool and his multiversal crusade.
