Cullen Bunn and Dalibor Talajić's Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time is the culmination of their bloody trilogy. This time, Deadpool's rampage isn't confined to a single universe; he's tackling the entire Marvel multiverse.
IGN recently interviewed Bunn, revealing that while the initial Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe was unplanned, the idea of a multiverse-spanning sequel was pitched early on. The challenge of escalating the conflict from the original's massacre of major Marvel teams led to this multiversal expansion, featuring battles against bizarre variants like Cap-Wolves and Worldbreaker Hulks.
