X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

As I said before, Deadpool Killustrated was a great idea but it’s been poorly executed. They only give him four issues to kill off the classics and most of the really cool deaths or concepts are just washed over.

Who were the witches of MacBeth? Who was Dorian Gray?

This kind of stuff could have been awesome to explore, even in Deadpool’s hilarious way of doing things. But instead it’s all just washed over for one big battle with the Three Musketeers and Sherlock’s gang, the latter of which was kinda an underwhelming boss battle. They build up Sherlock and he doesn’t really do anything.

Then you get the cop out that Deadpool didn’t actually kill everything, just enough of it to make it ‘mortally wounded’ and it’s left to Sherlock to remember and try to heal it. Really? Not only do they skim on the fun stuff but they cop out on the ending too. I suppose they were trying to be metaphorical or something but come on, it’s Deadpool. If you say he’s going to kill everything, let him kill everything… he’s the only one who could get away with it!

Now we’re going to get a Deadpool vs Deadpool which may be interesting… but not if handled the same way as this mini-series. The sad part is I’ll probably buy it anyway.
