DEADPOOL KILLUSTRATED #1
by Cullen Bunn and Matteo Lolli
Deadpool already killed the Marvel Universe. Now, it's time for the classics to meet their demise.
Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe was fun, but riddled with flaws. It actually tried to be something it wasn't, a serious and thought-provoking story. Now, Cullen Bunn knows what he did wrong, and this first issue is already much better than the aforementioned DKTMU. The biggest improvements from DKTMU in Killustrated is Deadpool himself, and the book's humor. He actually feels like Deadpool, instead just some thug with healing factor. I also like how the book is FUNNY, unlike DKTMU which dragged on with no gags at all. It's actually very entertaining and light-hearted instead of a dark and grim murderfest. However, the book doesn't have anything else to offer. It's not incredibly clever, and there's no explanation for the end of DKTMU.
Matteo Loli's artwork feels very Deadpool-y, and recalls Ed McGuiness' art from Joe Kelly's character defining run. Lolli's art pops (no pun intended) off the page, especially with the gut-busting murder of Don Quixote.
Deadpool Killustrated is a surprisingly good sequel to Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe. It's easy to compare it to this month's Savage Wolverine, both of which are just comics meant to be fun, nothing else.
