Ok, we do not need to go into how my dear little sister (33), decided that MY Deadpool book was HERS to read first. Nor will we discuss her sticking it down the back of her pants in order to try to dissuade me from liberating it from her person. We are grown women, we are beyond fighting over comics.... unless it's Deadpool. We both have a very unhealthy obsession with the Merc with a Mouth.So... this continues the psychotic, fourth-wall smashing to bits of self-realization that began with "Dead...
I'm not a Deadpool fan, but I wanted to give it a try given its use of classic literature. Disappointed. This book was strong on premise and potential, but it really didn't come through in execution. It just seemed an unnecessarily truncated story. Too bad. I would have been interested in the fuller expression of Bunn's concept, which we have notes on at the end of this edition.
You would think that killing classic characters would be a piece of cake for Deadpool......not at all. A good way to spend your time
Extremely fun to read. Off to the third one!
The world's biggest superhero-killing douchebag is back, this time to eliminate your favorite characters of classic literature from the "Ideaverse". Not satisfied with killing off all the Marvel superheroes, Deadpool sets off to kill the very nascent idea of a superhero from the psyche of the universe in his striving to (view spoiler)[find and kill "The Progenitors" in an effort to end his eternal torment (hide spoiler)]. The string of homocidal ultraviolence is . . . well, pretty funny, actuall...
If I ever have another son, I think I’ll name him Deadpool.Okay, not really, that’s just silly. Plus my wife wouldn’t go for it. Deadpool has entertained me more than any other super hero and I want to pay homage to him beyond my older profile photo.Let’s start with this book. In a previous volume, Deadpool has killed every Marvel superhero in existence, over and over again. And yet the writers, needing heroes to write about, keep bringing them back. And he keeps killing them. He wants this cycl...
I wanted to like this, but there's no denying what a complete pile of garbage it is. The concept is okay, and perhaps in another comic book series it would have worked, but this just brings shame upon the Deadpool franchise. Cullen Bunn is a garbage writer. Better stick with Daniel Way Deadpool or Fabian Nicieza Deadpool.
Vote: 3, 5Not best Deadpool's story ever, but still not as awful as the previous "Deadpool kills the Marvel Universe" one."Deadpool: Dracula's Gauntlet" is my most favourite one story of the character, so it was funny seeing them fight again here.And I really enjoyed a lot Sherlock Holmes' "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" kicking for good Wade's @$$!The ab-normal reference from Mel Brooks'Young Frankenstein was so hilarous that you can forgive Bunn for not knowing Igor was not in Mary Shelley...
Really fun follow-up to "Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe". Deadpool turns his attention to famous literary characters in an attempt to wipe out all fictional characters - including himself! Full review here!
Deadpool Killustrated (Deadpool Killogy, #2), Cullen Bunn (Text), Matteo Lolli (Illustrations)Deadpool Killustrated: After the events of Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, Deadpool has killed many versions of Marvel superheroes and villains across the multiverse to no effect and comes to a conclusion that infinite alternate versions of the heroes and villains he killed exist.In the series, Deadpool hires a team of scientists to help him get rid of all Marvel characters. Deadpool has already kil...
Killing off the entire Marvel Universe wasn't enough. When it comes to murder/suicide, Deadpool is going for a multi-world record. Let me be clear starting out here: I love Deadpool. He's my very favorite anti-hero. Snarky, irreverent, erratic, immortal, and freaking crazy. As unreliable narrators go, he's the glorious epitome. But this collection (issue #1-#4) wasn't quite a 2 ½ star for me. I already knew I didn't have much interest in the concept of Deadpool becoming convinced he has to kill...
If you've ever failed a book report because you found the source material too dry and inaccessible, then decided to blame your own academic shortcomings on the literary characters themselves...then Deadpool is going to get some payback on your behalf!In the previous volume,Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, Deadpool killed the Marvel Universe. I know right? Maybe I should drop a spoiler tag in there. Anyway, the titular merc has hit a snag in his mission to wipe out all the supers. Turns out th...
"To free yourself... To free us all... You must become...metacidal."That's right, kids. Deadpool already killed the universe, now he's killing everything else. You know, outside the universe. The concept is "interesting," in theory. Metafiction and the fourth wall. Much like Grant Morrison's Multiversity, only instead of saving the multiverse (with other, you know, plots or whatever) he's killing it...? I'll take a "stab."Deadpool has to kill his way through the multiverse / ideaverse / metavers...
The other day my mother was commenting that I was the only teenager she knew who'd read classics of any sort. My sister rightly pointed out they were extremely difficult to read. I have to agree with her. It's like attempting to swallow rock candy whole. First it gets stuck in your throat, then if you get it down, it lies about uneasily in your stomach. Anyway, this book is what happens if you throw those two things together - when a knowledge of classics combines with a healthy dose of mischiev...
Following Deadpool’s murderous rampage through the Marvel Universe, he decides to jump into the classic tales that inspired the comic book crusaders of today. With a hit-list consisting of Ebeneezer Scrooge, Captain Ahab, Mark Twain and many others, Deadpool is set to wipe the classics from literature’s illustrious history.Deadpool is easily one of my favorite comic book characters and why wouldn’t he be – he’s Deadpool, the merc with a mouth! He consistently breaks the fourth wall, his verbal j...
The first book in the Killogy series was OK, but this was really fun. Deadpool first classic literature characters. It's like if Mike Carey's Unwritten series starred Deadpool. Art was a lot of fun too. It ended a little too abruptly, but there's still part 3 to read.
Muhteşem!
The Merc with a Mouth is distraught after the events of Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe as his battle to rid the world of superhuman heroes and villains has failed. Deadpool understands that the world he inhabits is a fictional one and realizes that you can't get rid of present day characters as long as their archetypes exist. So what's a smart ass mercenary to do other than threaten people smarter than he is to build a time machine to the "Ideaverse" so he can rampage through the literary ca...
A surprising improvement of its predecessor, 'Deadpool Kills the Classics' takes an enjoyable turn and has a few weird crossovers that you didn't know you needed. Sure, the plot is even more absurd, but at least you have the quirky dialogue (and good ol' bad puns) back.It's also nice to see a not-too-hopeless reality, where there's actually a chance of stopping DP's deranged streak, as Sherlock Holmes tries his best to save the crumbling 'Ideaverse', together with Mulan and a few more folks, whi...
3.5It’s deadpool killogy #2 and deadpools gone back in time to do some more slicing and dicing.Deadpool killustrated - deadpool goes back in time to kill everyone’s ancestors so the they’ll never be born, his adventures go from pirates to the French and whales (moby dick) also hoping he wipes himself out of existence he realizes that if he never existed than he never kills the marvel universe and then he doesn’t put everyone out of their miseryMy thoughts (the good and bad) - the book is really
