Not as funny as it thinks it is and a little to convoluted to be truly great. Maybe as an animated film this would be right at home but it does feel like Deadpool fan fiction with the idea of 'what would marvel characters look like in Deadpool themed costumes?' That being said Duckpool and Pandapool are pretty cool. Nice book to look at. Not a great read.

I’ve finally finished the Deadpool Killogy series with this hilarious finale.
Cullen Bunn finishes the series off as its original writer and this time is accompanied by Salva Espin on artwork.

In this riotous grand finale Deadpool has gotten to the last stage of his mission. He’s killed the Marvel universe, as well as the fictional literature characters the universe is inspired by. Leaving only one more phase to complete. If Deadpool got rid of all these fictional characters and in turn people forgot them since they ceased to exist, well then he is the only one to know of these characters. Which means Deadpool must kill…well, Deadpool. Only this lunatic Deadpool (more lunatic than usual if you can believe) didn’t know he’d have to face the 616 variant of the merc with a mouth. It gets crazier when other Deadpools from across the multiverse clash in an all out war. Some Deadpools follow the lunatic DP and his goals of erasing everything. The other few join our 616 hero in order to stop the chaos. It’s a Deadpool crisis on infinite earths!

Cullen Bunn once again delivers on a fun and humorous story. This one in particular being the funniest of the three mini-series. It’s interesting to me that the overall series got sillier as it went on and maybe it’s because the concept and plot also got siller. Regardless of the fact, Bunn shows off his humor really well as it progresses. I loved the craziness of all the Deadpools fighting each other and the super fun cast/teammates that help 616 Deadpool. Once again it’s a great display of pacing and each issue got more and more fun.

Salva Espin is the artist on this mini-series and he’s by far my favorite of all 3. Espin is no stranger to the character as I would say he’s one of the most recognizable Deadpool artists. So how fitting was it to have him do the finale. His style is a huge factor into playing up the humor and his character designs for all the different Deadpools are awesome. I haven't seen much of Espin’s work but after this read I wanna check out more of his stuff. Truly a wonderful cartoonist.

Overall; This mini-series is just as great and entertaining as the other two, and with how much funnier it was it’s kinda become my favorite. The whole killogy is a super fun read and deserves all the hype it gets. It’s also a great read for anyone trying to get into the character of Deadpool. I’ve personally never read a Deadpool comic or run besides this one. I still know quite a bit about the character as his popularity took off at the start of my comic reading. But I still am mostly unfamiliar with his comics. So it only shows how great this overall story is cause I never felt like I didn’t know the character enough. It was just overall fun.

Love Deadpools sense of humor, but there was a lot of just Deadpool in this, hes funnier when hes antagonizing other super heroes/villians.

Synopsis

The concluding volume in the Deadpool Killogy in which Deadpool finds himself at a loss. After killing the Marvel universe and then soaring through books to kill all our famous favorites in literature, he now finds himself incapable of finding any sort of purpose left to his life as he now knows he’s merely a comic book character, so he sets out to kill every version of himself in every dimension to finally bring peace to the Marvel Universe.

This was such a…letdown.

But, I have to start by saying that I was unaware that Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe was a trilogy, and so I started with this one, which only seems like a marginal mistake, as I don’t think I would have enjoyed it any more starting from the right end of things.

This comic was often confusing, infrequently funny, and most often condescending. This was strange for me as I really enjoyed Bunn’s Night of the Living Deadpool duology–like, really enjoyed. So, I was expecting to love this, but I just…didn’t. I found myself rolling my eyes too often, especially at whoever-his-face-all-knowing-obnoxious-fanboy was. Everything was over the top, unbelievable, and hardly made me laugh.

And, newsflash, Deadpool is supposed to make me laugh.

The art was really well-done, so at least there’s that. The coloring was vibrant and excellent for all the battle scenes…even if the battle scenes themselves were a let down.

I lacking anything else to say about this comic, so I’ll just wrap it all up by saying I don’t really recommend this but I don’t really hate it either, so make up your own mind if you want to read this. Is is worth it? Mehhhh. Will you be upset you wasted your time on it? Mehhhh. It’s all just mehhhh for me.

I’ve been having trouble finding some stellar Deadpool comics as of late, so if you have any to recommend, PLEASE DO!

This was a little weird to me, especially considering I read it BEFORE I realized it was the third part of the Deadpool Killogy. I still liked it a lot more than most superhero comics I've picked up.

My head hurts from reading this but I enjoyed it. It's one of the dumbest things I've ever read yet the art and writing were pretty good. When's the next time you're going to see 'panda-pool' fight a 'shark-pool'. This is a comic where you need to shut off your brain and enjoy the ride.
