Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe (Again) on New Variant Cover Series

The covers release in time for Deadpool & Wolverine, in theaters July 26.

By Cameron Bonomolo

In 1995, the one-shot The Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe sent vengeful vigilante Frank Castle on a killing spree targeting Earth's mightiest heroes and villains. Not to be outdone, Wade Wilson, the Merc with a Mouth gunned for superheroes and supervillains alike in 2012's Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe. In the four-issue limited series written by Cullen Bunn and drawn by Dalibor Talajić, the fourth wall-breaking regeneratin' degenerate massacred the Fantastic Four, shot Spider-Man, assassinated the Avengers, smashed the Hulk, and exterminated the X-Men before entering the Nexus of All Realities to unleash more mayhem across the multiverse. 

Just in time for Marvel Studios' Deadpool & Wolverine (in theaters July 26), Marvel Comics will pay homage to the popular comic series with a lineup of Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe variant covers across titles like Avengers, Amazing Spider-Man, Captain Marvel, Daredevil, Deadpool & Wolverine: WWIII, and more.
