Cullen Bunn's Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time concludes the unofficial trilogy, pitting the Merc with a Mouth against the entire Marvel multiverse. This isn't just a sequel; it's a multiversal massacre. IGN recently spoke with Bunn about this final chapter of Deadpool's bloody rampage.

Bunn, a prolific Deadpool writer, revealed he didn't initially plan a trilogy. His initial pitch was Deadpool Kills the Marvel Multiverse, a concept that's now realized. The challenge of escalating the conflict led to the multiversal setting, introducing battles against variants like Cap-Wolves and Worldbreaker Hulks.
Bunn emphasizes the unique approach: "We wanted this to be different...We wanted to show Deadpool battling different versions of Marvel heroes...I spent a lot of time researching the 'worst' (meaning 'the best') variants." He hints at the inclusion of obscure characters unseen in over 30 years.
Artist Dalibor Talajić's visual style, already a highlight of Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe Again, continues to evolve. Bunn promises "insanity" in Talajić's depiction of diverse worlds and character variants.
While standalone, this installment subtly connects to the previous books. Bunn describes it as a "fresh start...sort of," with observant readers noticing links to earlier events. Crucially, this Deadpool is arguably the most sympathetic yet, with a mission that makes readers question their loyalties.
