Tried this via Comixology - grabbed first issue after hearing it recommended by War Rocket Ajax. Not terribly impressed by issue one, so I'm not going to keep reading. No sense of humour, no idea how they'd make this more entertaining to keep up my interest. Perhaps it was an editorial experiment to see how a dead-serious Deadpool would go over. A mostly-wordless merc with a mouth is worth no more than any generic third-tier hero in a DC book.

I've always been a fan of the idea of Deadpool, a quick-witted, sarcastic, brutally violent assassin that walks the line between hero and villain and seems to be the only character in the Marvel universe who is actually AWARE of the fact that he's in a comic book. Unfortunately, Deadpool is rarely featured in self-contained trade paperbacks, so I've never really read much featuring him.

Not the worst comic I've ever read. I'm fairly new to the 'funny' Deadpool phenomenon. When he first arrived on the scene he was one of those many characters drawn by Liefeld (ugh, who, after 25 years in the biz cannot draw a foot or a realistic expression to save his life...but I digress).
The Deadpool Max line is pretty fun stuff, if inconsistent. But the Marvel Zombies and "Blank vs. the Universe" titles have trashed a lot of established measuring sticks for some of our favorite characters, l...more

This would be ineffably stupid if not for the play on Deadpool's trademark of breaking the fourth wall. Idiotic violence and boring art aside, there is something unnerving about Deadpool knowing that he is a comic book character. Then again, I am tickled at the notion that I may be some kind of puppetmaster existing beyond the reaches of time and space, bending this tiny two-dimensional man's universe to my will with nothing more than my off-hand weekly purchases. Carol Danvers has short hair no...more
So, basically, Deadpool goes full-on homicidal-rage insane and kills a bunch of the biggies in the Marvel universe. There's a framing device for it (which gets murdered along with everyone else), and the ending is about halfway callable if you know 'Pool at all, but it's a well-written killing spree with a nice, small twist near the end, and there's lots of blood shed and some really glorious dark humor (Deadpool ends up wearing a pelt you'll probably recognize).

Oh my god! I thought they don't do this terrible comicbooks anymore but I was sadly mistaken. This title is absolute rubbish.
Story? There is none. Deadpool just kills all characters of Marvel Universe. Deaths are shown in a way that makes them completely unemotional and meaningless. Deadpool hiumself is very badly written. There practically are no fun oneliners but we have uninspired broody character that has no control of his destiny.
Artwork fit the story very well. It was very badly drawn.

Peu de punchlines (décevant de la part de Deadpool) et les dessins sont peu soignés, particulièrement ceux représentant les Avengers (Ms Marvel est tout à fait laide !). J'aurais aimé que les couleurs soient plus nuancées, les contours plus définis mais ça fait peut-être partie de la façon dont Wade "ressent" les choses. J'ai quand même beaucoup aimé la mise en scène, la façon dont on a l'impression que Deadpool est vraiment devenu dément... jusqu'à ce que tout s'éclaire d'un coup ! Wade avait r...more
This is one of my favorite deadpool runs, which leads right into Killustrated. In this story, deadpool finally realizes that he's not insane, but that he is the product of someone's creativity. He sets out on a murderous rampage that claims the lives of all of our favorite Marvel hero and villains. In the end, will he be able to stop the creativity so that he can attain what he truly wants? Death or to never have existed before? Great story line, one of the most original as far as deadpool is co...more

What could have been another tiresome, bloody-to-no-end exercise in What If? futility is elevated by a simple concept - steal from the best. Namely Grant Morrison's Animal Man, and especially its pivotal 'Coyote Gospel' story. Deadpool's always messed around with the fourth wall, so he only needs a little nudge to realise that the heroes and villains are all puppets, with their unseen masters the writers feeding them through the woodchipper for entertainment...
I love Deadpool, so this was a worthwhile "what if" scenario for me to read. However, I'll be perfectly honest, it's not a very strong read. In fact, because of the limited nature of the mini-series, it barely fleshes anything out, and you never get more than a quick glimpse at any one event, much less a sense of story past the very basic Deadpool-kills-everyone-the-end. Still, fun to speculate, a good read if you've got 30 minutes you want to kill (no pun originally intended).
Ultimately a slightly disappointing limited series featuring the Merc with a Mouth doing a lot more killing, and a lot less talking than normal. While some of the kills are intriguing, the lack of strong narrative and the easily foreseeable and trite twist ending prevent this series from being anything memorable. If you're hard up for a comic with Deadpool give it a read, but come in with low expectations.
Loved it. Don't usually give it a five stars. Don't usually read Deadpool, but I loved it. A Zombie superhero with regeneration skills that has attitude and no censors. Plus, he is on a mission to meet the maker. It was surprise all around. Art was alright. usually this is a deal breaker for me, but the story's twists and turns overcame my art biases. It's a keeper.
well he sure does kill everyone.
but seriously everything about this mini series is half-assed. the fight scenes are so short and presented without context so there's no real tension, the fourth wall breaking as a means of bringing outsider commentary into the marvel universe doesn't really go any where, then the 'rage against the creators' idea is just a lame punchline. it might have been neat to have a duck amok homage from deadpool instead it's just the end of the gamers.
boo-urns.

A very good summary for someone who knows little to nothing about Deadpool and comics. Also, there could have been a better story attached to this though, there was no conflict outside of him killing all the heros he could. Though the ending is neat and very Woody Allen.
Daffy, mad, bizarre, almost experimental comic featuring the Merc with a Mouth, Deadpool. Lots of fun, very gory, very funny, and an excellent comic. Full review here!
I'm a sucker for a good bit of meta-fiction, and this takes the more fourth wall breaking aspects of Deadpool and turns them up to eleven. It's a mindless, bloody gorefest but I loved the commentary on Marvel comics and the nature of the characters.

This was insane, I didn't think deadpool actually had it in him to be honest, with healing powers and some guns. I guess all he needed was his mind to be pushed over the edge. When he killed Spider-Man it sent freaking chills. Really good story though.
Exactly what it says it is: Deadpool killing all of Marveldom. I wish there was more humor and the ending felt like a bit of a cop out. Still, a pretty entertaining read you can get through in like a half an hour. Less if you read faster.
Absolutely loved it. I've started reading Deadpool recently and so far this is my absolute favourite. Inventive, fun and very much in the typical Deadpool style. Highly recommend this.
So, not a bad comic, but it does come off a little like a marty stu fanfic at times. At least all of the tactics were well thought out and definitely something pool would do.
Well if you know anything about the merc with the mouth than you don't need to know anything other than this books title to know it is full of sweet n' zesty awesomeness.
Predictable and with underwhelming battles, yet I can't say either of these issues subtracted much from the experience. In fact, these two issues may be devices for the plot.
The most meta Deadpool book yet, and one of the darkest and most violent. If you think Deadpool's gotten too silly over the years, this might be the book for you.
Way too short. Could have been longer and more inventive. Though it was fun to see Deadpool have a fun day at work wiping away the Marvel nation. Such pleasing manners.
Wasn't a terrible read, just much too short, very random, and the ending really killed it for me. Not worth the read, even if you love Deadpool.
This had very little substance to it... but I guess I shouldn't have expected that considering this is Deadpool going on a Marvel universe killing spree.
Painful self-aware fan-service. Deadpool too out of character. Too disturbing. Too short for good 1-on-1 battles.
This is what I wanted when I read Wolverine Enemy of the State. It's a fun read and it doesn't hold back.
Not very entertaining, and you can see the ending from miles away. I expected a lot, but was disappointed.
Poor execution and use of material. I think most people could have fanficked this better, both in writing and illustration.
