Too graphic and sad.

I loved the other parts of the series. They were fun and kinda dark, but with a very meta kind of humor. And this is - at the heart of it - underneath the killing and the bubblegum daydreams a very bitter or rather cynical story. It does wrap up in the same tone. (
And it has been hinted that Logan suffered a similar fate to Wade. I think they could have made more of that.
)

In the end it is a round story. But not quiet the relaxed entertainment I was originally looking for.

I thought this would be fun, seeing Deadpool take on all my favorite Marvel heroes, but the take-downs didn't feel at all believable, and it turns out I hate seeing all my favorite heroes die.

This one was pretty good! I liked how every time a superhero gets killed you got to see it from Deadpool’s warped perspective and then the outcome in reality :) Also the illustrations style and the colours were sweet!

Meh, this one was just okay. Not nearly as good as the first and we don’t get to see much of DP killing; wasn’t a fan of the things he was seeing.

A character I've never really gotten into, I was first introduced to Deadpool back when I first got into superhero comics by way of an ex enthusing over the original Deadpool kills the Marvel Universe series. The combination of not being in any way shape or form a follower of Marvel characters and my penchant for finding violence pretty boring, I felt no desire what so ever to borrow their issues.
Fast forwarding to the first movie, while I did eventually watch and generally enjoy it, all the preteens getting excited about a sweary anti-hero left me less than enthused. See the previous mention of feeling old and crotchety.
Of course, now with the second movie coming out this past weekend, Marvel and my library obviously wanted to recapture the magic that was the original Deadpool kills the marvel universe series and I rather foolishly decided to jump back into this particular franchise midstream.
A reasonably proficient rehash of the original concept, I can kind of see why some people still enjoyed it and why the more reasonable people (even those who apparently liked the original) did not. We find out all the different twists far to fast, and while I did appreciate not having to watch the slaughter of Ms. Marvel, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, I do feel like if you showed up for the killing there wasn't really enough of that to really get excited about either.
And while the hallucination element was interesting, it did set off a few of my SJW alarms a bit. The fact is that mental health is not only stigmatized it can also be viewed as dangerous, despite the fact that mentally ill people are more likely to be killed than to kill. Not that every person who reads this comic will now be scared of mentally ill people, but reading this comic as white dude gun violence across the united states is blamed on mental illness is a bit annoying to say the least.
