Summary

Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe Again (2017) is the standalone, spiritual successor to the 2012 hit miniseries. Reuniting the original creative team of writer Cullen Bunn and artist Dalibor Talajić, this five-issue limited series tells an entirely new, psychological tragedy rather than repeating the fourth-wall-breaking premise of the original.

Unlike the first slaughter where Wade Wilson was consciously aware of his crusade, this alternate universe run traps Deadpool inside a weaponized psychological nightmare. A hidden cabal of Marvel's deadliest villains—led by the Red Skull, Doctor Doom, Magneto, Abomination, and Mad Thinker—use brainwashing, sensory triggers, and psychological manipulation to hijack Wade's mind.

Inside Deadpool's warped perception, he believes he is participating in colorful, lighthearted, Looney Tunes-style adventures alongside his superhero friends. In reality, he is operating in an involuntary hypnotic trance as an unstoppable sleeper assassin, systematically murdering the Avengers, the X-Men, cosmic champions, and street-level vigilantes in horrifying ways. As heroes like Moon Knight, the Punisher, and Gwenpool attempt to track down the threat, Wade slowly begins piecing together the horrifying truth of what his hands have done.
