What if the Merc with a Mouth discovered he's a fictional character—and decided the only way out is to kill everyone? From acclaimed writer Cullen Bunn and artist Dalibor Talajić. When Deadpool's fractured mind breaks through the fourth wall completely, he realizes the horrifying truth: he's a fictional character trapped in a comic book, forced to regenerate and suffer endlessly for readers' entertainment. His solution? Kill everyone. Systematically. Brutally. The Avengers. The X-Men. The Fantastic Four. Spider-Man. No hero is safe from Wade Wilson's methodical slaughter as he carves a blood-soaked path through the entire Marvel Universe—and he's coming for the readers next. This isn't the wisecracking antihero fans know—this is Deadpool as a relentless horror villain who knows he's in a story and wants to burn it all down. When a psychological breakdown reveals that he's aware of his own fictional existence, Wade Wilson decides the only escape is through annihilation . Watch as he brutally murders Marvel's greatest heroes in increasingly disturbing ways, breaking not just the fourth wall but the entire illusion of superhero storytelling itself. Collect DEADPOOL KILLS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE #1-4. This groundbreaking series spawned two sequels—continue the carnage with Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe Again and Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time, completing the celebrated Deadpool Killogy trilogy. \"This is probably one of the best Deadpool stories that I've read in a long time.\" —Newsarama \" …this one's going to be a classic.\" —IGN What if everything you thought was funny about Deadpool was actually just disturbing?","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9780785164036","publication_date":"20121030","publisher":"Marvel","slug":"deadpool-kills-the-marvel-universe","subtitle":"","title":"Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"CGN004080","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Superhero Comics","score":0.7654,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"CGN004070","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Science Fiction Comics","score":0.7301,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAF010050","confidence_band":"medium","label":"YA Action & Adventure Comics","score":0.7008,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"CGN004080","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Superhero Comics","score":0.7654,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"CGN004070","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Science Fiction Comics","score":0.7301,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAF010050","confidence_band":"medium","label":"YA Action & Adventure Comics","score":0.7008,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"CGN004030","confidence_band":"high","label":"Fantasy Comics","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"CGN004070","confidence_band":"high","label":"Science Fiction Comics","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"CGN004080","confidence_band":"high","label":"Superhero Comics","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Superhero Comics","score":0.7654,"slug":"superhero-comics"},{"label":"Science Fiction Comics","score":0.7301,"slug":"science-fiction-comics"},{"label":"YA Action & Adventure Comics","score":0.7008,"slug":"ya-action-adventure-comics"}],"reader_fit":["For readers interested in violent, horror-tinged superhero stories","For readers drawn to fourth-wall-breaking stories about fictional self-awareness"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Chris Claremont","Barry Windsor-Smith"],"book_id":"9781302960643","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781302960643.jpg?v=6dc41f97a012b643","score":0.7007,"title":"X-men Epic Collection: Lifedeath","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781302960643"},{"authors":["Ed Brubaker"],"book_id":"9781302964733","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781302964733.jpg?v=d370f264b305cd42","score":0.688,"title":"Doctor Doom: Books of Doom","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781302964733"},{"authors":["Barry Windsor-Smith","Chris Claremont","Frank Tieri"],"book_id":"9781302949860","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781302949860.jpg?v=d3df75beb4b33e43","score":0.6831,"title":"Wolverine: Weapon X Deluxe Edition","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781302949860"},{"authors":["Fred Van Lente"],"book_id":"9781302953201","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781302953201.jpg?v=64bb2b40725d3cd2","score":0.6789,"title":"X-men: X-verse - Wolverine","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781302953201"},{"authors":["Ryan North"],"book_id":"9781302958169","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781302958169.jpg?v=bce33c6751beec9c","score":0.665,"title":"One World Under Doom","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781302958169"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:marvel graphic novel"],"label":"Graphic","score":0.1371,"slug":"graphic"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:funny comic books"],"label":"Comic","score":0.1067,"slug":"comic"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:funny comics"],"label":"Funny","score":0.0718,"slug":"funny"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:marvel graphic novel"],"label":"Novel","score":0.0614,"slug":"novel"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:funny comics"],"label":"Comics","score":0.0528,"slug":"comics"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: Fictional self-awareness, Psychological breakdown, Violent superhero horror.","Story elements: Fourth-wall breaking, Antihero as horror villain.","Themes: Graphic, Comic, Funny."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.94,"pacing":"unknown","reader_fit":["For readers interested in violent, horror-tinged superhero stories","For readers drawn to fourth-wall-breaking stories about fictional self-awareness"],"themes":["Fictional self-awareness","Psychological breakdown","Violent superhero horror"],"tropes":["Fourth-wall breaking","Antihero as horror villain"]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":8222,"goodreads_ratings_count":16861,"goodreads_reviews_count":1347,"quality_score":0.9886}}
