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 cycle of madness to end.
It seems that writers love the whole concept of the hero and will strive to perpetuate it. What’s poor self-referential, meta-fictional, fourth-wall breaker, Merc-with-the-Mouth Deadpool to do? At the advice of his coterie of mad scientists, he travels through classic literature, the Ideaverse, destroying classic literary heroes in hopes of eliminating the literary inspiration for his frustration.
Hilarity and mayhem ensue as Deadpool slices and dices his way through the classics. Almost getting stomped by the March girls from "Little Women" is a highlight.
The title “Deadpool Killustrated” is derived from Classics Illustrated an old line of comics dedicated to bringing comics versions of classic literature to young readers. I used to read these when I was a kid and tried to substitute reading these for actually doing school reading. It didn’t work. The comic versions often left out sub plots, and much to my chagrin half the exam on Great Expectations dealt with these pesky details. Let this be a lesson kids, there are no short cuts in life.
This volume is violent and not for the young-uns and the last issue contained here is kind of a let down.
Oh, Deadpool, if you ever make a slash and hack run through literature again can you target these characters:
Holden Caulfield – perpetually annoying
Salinger’s Glass family – see Holden Caulfield, also insufferably eccentric.
The Cat in the Hat – gave me the creeps as a kid.
Susan Silverman – from the Spenser detective series, most irritating fictional girl friend ever.
Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty from “On the Road” – Do I have to explain this one?

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 canon like some kind of berserker Marty McFly?
Deadpool Killustrated is a limited 4 issue storyline, which turns out to be a good call. While the first three issues were a lot of fun (and what I'm primarily basing the 4 stars on), the final issue fizzles with an anticlimactic ending (although, to be fair, the series will lead into the Deadpool Kills Deadpool story arc and may offer more resolution). The opening issues offer a wisecracking Deadpool gleefully slaughtering literary greats like Moby Dick, the Little Mermaid, Scrooge, the Little Women (who prove to be a tougher lot than one would think), Tom Sawyer, Scylla, Charybdis, and a host of other literary greats. Even the Senators who stabbed Julius Caesar have the tables turned in a single panel vignette. I have to admit, watching the carnage of literary greats who have plagued many a student with required reading was fun (although I got a little teary eyed when Bagheera bought it). The cover art alone is worth a depraved giggle or two. As Deadpool carves his way through the Ideaverse, the archetypal patterns begin to buckle and we see the characters shift between their traditional and modern incarnations, a trick author Cullen Bunn clearly has a lot of fun with.
It's not long, however, before Sherlock Holmes is on the case. Determined to track down Deadpool and put a stop to his mass murdering ways, he assembles a group of literary heroes: Natty Bumpo, Beowulf, Hua Mulan, and, of course, John Watson. Now that's a motley crew of literary misfits to rival The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. And it's also a colossal letdown as these characters are limited in their actions other than showing up behind Holmes and looking menacing. If you're going to put together a group like that, for the sake of the multiverse, have them do something other than pose and lend literary street cred to the narrative.
Despite my disappointment with the final issue, it was still entertaining enough to be worthy of a 4 star.

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 jabs are hilarious and he’s got a sweet skill-set that would put any adversary to shame.
In this slim four issue collection, Deadpool runs the gamut of literary greatness, wasting everyone in his path. This leads to cool visuals, some hilarious moments and the usual air of originality that accompanies the character. While I enjoyed most of it, it was a little on the short side and I was really disappointed with the lack of time given to A Christmas Carol. It also falls short when compared to the very funny and creative run that both Brian Posehn and Gerry Duggan are on as the current series writers.
All in all, Deadpool Killustrated is a quick read that feels like it finished too early.

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 . The string of homocidal ultraviolence is . . . well, pretty funny, actually. But there's an aspect of this graphic (and I do mean graphic!) novel that tickles the intellect, as well, an existential question that is left unanswered, but on which the entire fate of reality rests: ? This question emerges from the midst of the crimson-splattered chaos, and provides a nice foil to all the killing and admittedly hilarious madness of Deadpool himself. This is the sort of thing that philosophies can be built on, or at least it's good grist for some philosophy student's senior thesis. It's not quite PhD material, but neither is Deadpool. Still, there's a lot of thinking to do in the midst of all the craziness, an island of "what if?" amidst the "who cares?" It is a delicious little conundrum, worth your time and your brain, or perhaps a piece of Deadpool's self-regenerating brain.

Alabado sea Deadpool. Como me ha hecho reír :')

Fiz bem em deixar o Clássicos para o fim, apesar de ficar fora da ordem de acontecimentos.
Fartei-me de rir, principalmente com a situação dos Mosqueteiros! E nunca pensei ver Marvel a referir hentai. Só podia vir mesmo do Deadpool XD
Se no primeiro volume senti que havia um desfasamento na personagem, entre o que conhecemos dela e o que estava a acontecer, aqui está muito mais presente o sentido de humor cáustico.
É muito interessante ver como entrelaçaram os clássicos com as história que poderão ter sido inspiradas por eles, seja noutras obras posteriores, ou nas personagens da própria Marvel.

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!
September 15, 2014
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 mischievousness, it deliciously explodes into Deadpool Killustrated.
Side note: I couldn't believe Deadpool, the character, was co-created by the same guy responsible for the infamous Hawkman suffering of 2014. Man, the difference a good writer can make.
Considering this is the first Marvel comic I've read, I'd say it was a damned good introduction. Everyone I know in the Marvel universe is dead when the story starts.
Yeah.
Somehow I was firmly on Dead's side as he went about slaughtering literature. I wanted to stand up and applaud when he did in Gregor Samsa. I wasn't sorry. Not one bit.
Plus, there were the creative methods of killing - the Lilliput incident. Cats! Cats, y'all. Why didn't I think of that?
I did not expect the Little Women to be so...enthusiastic. Badass ladies everywhere! This was what Pilgrim's Progress was about? No wonder they liked it so much.
Hua Mulan is there too! She made the whole thing go up a star. And when Dead calls her the "hottest guy he'd ever seen"...FREAKING HILARIOUS.
But just in case you think this is a writer's gore fantasy and the only thing that happens is the oh-so-entertaining butchering of famous people in fiction, there is a plot. Poor Sherlock Holmes is tasked with stopping Dead. He gathers the literary Hall-of-Fame dudes to combat the menace. Ok, so it's a loose plot and we're not reading for the story anyway. They're all being murdered, remember?
Cue the metafiction(?) that will wring your brain to a pulp. It's easier if you try not to think too hard about it. Deadpool nearly falls into a time paradox, but the writers are sadistic, so he doesn't destroy himself in the Ideaverse. Or are you trying to say he's unique? Maybe.
Also, since I'd never heard about Deadpool before this, I didn't know he could regenerate until Sherlock said so. I was briefly confused as to how the whole Frankenstein brain surgery took place.
So there is an advantage to split personalities, I see.
You don't see nothin'. You just wanna sound good.
Shut up! This is my review, not yours. You can post all the profound sounding stuff on the other blog, ok?
Humph. Are you tellin' me you can actually understand what happened in the book, then? You just liked the blood.
Maybe I did. What's your point?
Sigh. Never mind.
It's hard not to when you're inside my head.
Ahem, coming back.
All in all, a riotously fun read. It messes with your mind a bit, but that's part of the charm. Killustrated has some slick artwork and snappy dialogue. Cultural references abound. You have been warned.

Extremely fun to read. Off to the third one!

Vote: 3, 5
Not 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's classic and all the over-the-top insane slaughterfest.
A funny read. Not a masterwork but still a good one.

Muhteşem!

"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 / metaverse / choose-a-damn-verse-already-verse to reach the creators, being the writers (looking at you Cullen Bunn), to save the multiverse and free the Marvel characters from writer oppression. But wait, wouldn't these characters cease to exist without their writers?
And what universe is he killing if he's already killed the universe in which he exists, the Marvel Universe? I can't tell you. The literary universe? So he's killing literary characters and therefore the stories in which they appear. These characters he kills sort of flash or phase in as Marvel characters, as if by killing Mowgli and Captain Ahab he's killing Wolverine and Spider-Man. Whom he's already killed. Which is why this makes no sense.
Deadpool asserts that if he kills the classic heroes he'll finally prove that they can die. Well they can, can't they? Because he's killed them. And they die all the time. They're resurrected, but they do die.
So what the hell is the point of this comic? It's a time traveling story where Deadpool kills literary characters. That's the trouble with fourth wall stories. Sometimes they just go nowhere. And for the record, there's no Igor in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Cullen Bunn would know that if he'd actually read it.

След като не му стигна онова, което сътвори в Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, хухавелникът успя да открие път към мисло-вселената, захвана се да пътува напред и назад в алтернативното литературно време и подпука всички класически герои, идейни вдъхновители на неговите комикс-братчеди...
Артът - моливи, цветове и пр. - е разкошен, сценарият, учудващо за мен, имаше дори едно-две свежи попадения, но си остана все така оглаждаща мозъчните гънки поп-културна боза. Синковецът обаче се кефи, а това е важното - тъй де - разлики в поколенията, у-а :)

"Hrrrgh... No lo entiendo... asesiné a Spider-Man, Los Vengadores... Los X-Men... ¿soy solo yo o debería estar teniéndola más fácil con estos polvorientos clásicos? Quizás es hora de enfrentar los hechos..."
Siendo sincera, me encantó. Bue-ní-si-mo.
Eso sí, lean la Killogy en orden (no sean tan inútiles como yo... pensé que no era necesario).

След като видя сметката на цялата вселена на Марвел, Дедпул все още е жив. И му е дошло до гуша! Защо проклетите супергерои се оказват така трудни за заличаване от вселената? Оказва се, че колкото и да вилнееш с косачката през плевелите, те продължават да растат отново. Нужно е да ги изкорениш. А къде са корените на днешните супергерои? Класиката, разбира се! Е, в такъв случай, крайно време е да й видим сметката и на нея! „Студио Арт Лайн” продължават безпардонната касапница с „Дедпул убива класиката”, и както гласи надписът на корицата – „Внимание! Не е за деца!”. Прочетете ревюто на "Книжни Криле": https://knijnikrile.wordpress.com/201...

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.

Esta me gustó mucho más que la anterior... encima sus referencias, hahaha.
"TeamJacob" ← ¿En serio, Deady? ¿EN SERIO?
Muy bueno y la escena de Dorian la estaba esperando con ansias. Lastima fue corta.
¡Te amo, Deady!

A fascinating story approach that connects iconic classical literature to the Marvel universe through the concept of the "Ideaverse." Hilarious, yet brutal references to stories that we have grown to love over time.

Continuăm Killogia Deadpool cu un nou album care conține 4 părți: Moby Dick, Aventurile lui Tom Sawyer, Colindă de Crăciun și Aventurile lui Sherlock Holmes. După ce în Deadpool Omoară Universul Marvel l-am urmărit pe Wade cum omoară toți supereroii lumii Marvel, acum am trecut printr-un nou măcel, unul parcă și mai mare!
Pentru a curma suferința personajelor fictive pe care Deadpool le vede ca fiind blocate la infinit în niște lumi imaginare, el se decide să omoare și personajele cunoscute din literatura universală.
Fie că este vorba de Moby Dick, Pinocchio, Tom Sawyer sau căpitanul Nemo, Deadpool nu se va lăsa speriat de niciunul dintre aceste personaje și le va veni de hac! Se pare că are și mare noroc, pentru că poate călători în timp în cele mai neașteptate locuri. Ajuns în așa numitul "Univers ideatic", Deadpool va omorî rând pe rând o serie de personaje cunoscute nouă.
Mi-a plăcut mai mult acest album, întrucât l-am văzut pe Wade pus în niște situații mai dificile față de cele din Deadpool Omoară Universul Marvel, când omorâtul părea ca o joacă. De această dată, Deadpool va întâlni o serie de "inamici" dificil de omorât, "Universul ideatic" venindu-i de hac. Dar Wade are mereu un plan de rezervă, așa că nu se va lupta singur, punându-și creierul la contribuție...și într-un alt corp!
Luptele au devenit din ce în ce mai grele, situațiile din ce în ce mai diverse: m-am întâlnit cu Mowgli, cu Dracula, Frankenstein, cei trei muschetari, monștri marini, sirene, etc. Lista este extrem de lungă și interesantă!
Foarte tare mi s-a părut includerea lui Sherlock Holmes în cadrul acestei povești nebunești în care Deadpool încearcă să salveze personajele fictive prin omorârea lor. Rolul de detectiv al lui Sherlock este binevenit, iar avertismentul pe care acesta îl primește din viitor de la un alt personaj îi va face rotițele să se învârtă imediat.
Vă spuneam că Deadpool are un ajutor în tot acest măcel, dar și Sherlock va fi ajutat de nimeni alții decât Beowolf, Natty Bumppo, Hua Mulan și Doctor Watson! Ce va ieși la final, nici nu vă puteți imagina!
Scenariul lui Cullen Bunn a fost genial, iar Matteo Lolli (desen), Sean Parsons (tuș) și Veronica Gandini (culoare) au creat niște cadre dinamice, atractive, care țin cititorul cu ochii lipiți de pagini! Traducerea și lettering-ul lui Octav Ungureanu m-au mulțumit și de această dată, iar corecturile Lindei Pricăjan și edit-ul lui Alex Trofin au creat un album excepțional.
Dacă încă nu v-ați prins de faptul că nu trebuie să ratați Deadpool Killustrated în cazul în care sunteți fani ai benzilor desenate, vă voi spune direct: este un must read! M-am amuzat, am stat în tensiune, am trăit alături de personaje și am fost curioasă până unde va ajunge Deadpool în procesul lui de eliberare al personajelor de ficțiune. Sunt curioasă ce se va întâmpla în Deadpool Kills Deadpool. Cred că totul devine din ce în ce mai palpitant. :-)

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 off the Marvel Universe in order to free them, and himself, from a puppet-like non-existence. True, he's an iconic breaker of the 4th wall...but that's a level of self-aware despair I'll never feel is truly in-character for him. So I generally avoided the concept. But the idea of Deadpool mingling with the great fictional characters of classic literature was too intriguing not to pick up.
Killustrated sees Deadpool popping all around the “Ideaverse,” slaughtering his way through worlds ranging from Don Quixote to Moby Dick to A Christmas Carol. (Okay, so it's sort of the fantasy realization of every burned-out high school and college literature student.) His hope is that by eradicating these points of inspiration, he's subsequently destroying the primal origins of ALL fictional villains and heroes. Sherlock Holmes, who has been forewarned, seems to put forth the only semi-competent resistance to Deadpool's tireless work.
There were a few stand-out moments. Deadpool displays some meaningful admiration for a few of his victims, and the twist he puts on the Frankenstein story was rather inspired. But overall there isn't enough humor or cleverness to make up for the repetitive tedium of his genocidal quest.
So...yeah. No complaints about the artwork. Really, the challenge of conveying the likeness of so many iconic characters and creatures was carried out impressively well. I'm sure I would have appreciated it more if I had a thing for comedic horror. But I don't, really. And seeing Deadpool like this strikes me personally as more depressing than entertaining. Taking philosophical orders from a disembodied voice of remedial doom?
Big, fat, hairy...meh.
See, now THAT is how this fan sees Deadpool. And I make no apologies for it.

Дедпул убива прототипите на комикс културата – литературните класики: http://knigolandia.info/book-review/d...
След като наскоро прочетох комикса “Дедпул избива вселената на Марвел”, си пожелах да излезе и продължението му, в което костюмираният устатко избива същата пасмина по различен начин – на това викам удовлетворяваща справедливост. Вместо това излезе нещо друго и на пръв поглед навярно скандално за някои – “Дедпул убива класиките”. А на корицата капитан Ахав гледа в почуда как тоя откаченяк язди омразния му Моби Дик. Грабнах комикса още в първия ден от излизането му и в дивна почуда го прочетох на един дъх – смях се с глас, клатех глава и си мислех колко много дечурлига ще открият непознати за тях класики по тия страници, обагрени в кръв.

Cu Deadpool am făcut cunoştinţă acum puţin peste jumătate de an, când cei de la www.lexshop.ro au început să tipărească lunar benzile desenate Marvel Now cu Deadpool, Iron Man şi Thor şi mi s-a părut de departe cel mai comic dintre toţi super-eroii pe care îi întâlnisem până atunci. Dacă în primele numere ale benzilor desenate am dat de un personaj care luptă de partea binelui, iată că în acest album am cunoscut o faţă cu totul diferită a lui.
Deadpool Killustrated este volumul doi al unei trilogii şi primul pe care îl citesc, dar acest lucru nu mi-a afectat lectura întrucât ni se prezintă de la început de detaliile esenţiale, pe scurt, ale volumului 1, astfel încât să nu avem senzaţia că am pierdut ceva vital din poveste. Deadpool se pare că a luat-o puţin pe ulei pentru că, după ce a ucis super-eroii Universului Marvel şi a ajuns la concluzia că aceştia sunt recreaţi de o creatură ce îi foloseşte pentru bunul său plac, distrându-se cu vieţile lor, hotărăşte să ucidă inspiraţia, fundamentul pe care au fost creaţi aceşti eroi: personajele clasice.
Aşadar, înarmat cu o maşină a timpului cu care poate călători şi în alte universuri fictive, Deadpool se pune pe măcelărit însăşi conceptul de super-erou, cum altfel, dacă nu ucigând tot ce prinde. Pe măsură ce personajele clasice mor, Deadpool vede timp de câteva clipe şi imaginile eroilor moderni pe care i-au inspirat.
O adevărată surpriză a fost să le văd pe cele patru fete din Micuţele Doamne, care se pare că au stat la baza unor super-eroine.
În plus, va avea de înfruntat şi un rival pe măsură, nimeni altul decât Sherlock Holmes, care şi-a făcut o echipă trăsnet din care face parte şi... Hua Mulan!
Acest volum este plin de acţiune şi e cu siguranţă interesant să îţi vezi personajele favorite din operele clasice în ipostaze noi şi totodată şansa ta să le vezi pe cele pe care le-ai detestat măcelărite. Ce mi-ar fi plăcut ar fi fost o listă cu toate referinţele literare ale acestei benzi desenate, pentru că nu am reuşit să recunosc chiar toate personajele.
Cred că povestea avea un potenţial mult mai mare decât nivelul la care a fost adus de către autori. Însă, până la urmă, e un comic book cu super-eroi, menit să fie o lectură distractivă, iar dacă te aştepţi la ceva mai profund, vei găsi cu siguranţă o grămadă de recomandări dacă reuşeşti să ghiceşti personajele şi cărţile din care au ieşit pentru a colinda acest volum.
De departe cea mai intrigantă scenă mi s-a părut aceea în care Deadpool conştientizează că in mod inevitabil se va ucide pe el însuşi, punând capăt vieţii unuia dintre marii clasici. Dar dacă moare, atunci nu ar fi ca şi cum nu ar fi existat şi nu ar fi pornit niciodată în această razie? Să fie totul degeaba? Citeşte volumul şi vei afla.

Menudas agallas tienen las Mujercitas para golpear a Deadpool.
De acuerdo, confieso que, entre las dos de las tres partes de Deadpool Killogy que he leído hasta ahora, esta es mi favorita. Tiene un mejor desarrollo que la primera parte del Killogy, más sangre derramada por cortesía de Deadpool dentro de las historias clásicas de la literatura (Moby Dick, Drácula, Mujercitas y un largo etcétera) y hasta un grupo de salvadores, encabezado por el mismo Sherlock Holmes, con el objetivo de detener la masacre del mercenario. ¿Que quieren que diga? Ha sido alucinante.
Seguramente para los amantes de los libros (especialmente los que han leído los clásicos) les va a encantar mucho este cómic
July 26, 2017
Es raro equiparar con cuatro estrellas un cómic que es puro entretenimiento, pienso en otros calificados con cuatro y por ahí este no esté a la altura artística de aquellos, pero vamos, que es si no la lectura en parte entretenimiento. Y las menciones de los clásicos y el planteo de entrar y salir en los universos de cada historia homenajeada me llevan a un cómic muy completo, mainstream de alta calidad con referencias que pueden ser disparadores de interés a nuevos lectores.. en definitiva muy logrado.

Die Idee, Deadpool auf die Weltliteratur loszulassen, damit er endlich sterben kann, war einfach zu genial!
Leider fand ich das Ende nicht so gut und auch der Zusatzcomic von Lady Deadpool war eher ein Fall von "Was hab ich grad gelesen?"^^
