Deadpool Killustrated

In this darkly comedic 2013 Marvel limited series, writer Cullen Bunn and artist Matteo Lolli send Deadpool on a metafictional murder spree through classic literature. After dispatching his own universe's heroes, the Merc with a Mouth sets his sights on iconic characters from the public domain, including Sherlock Holmes. The four-issue run is a gleefully irreverent deconstruction of storytelling itself, as Deadpool systematically targets the foundational tales that inspired modern fiction. It matters as a bold, self-aware experiment that pushed the character's fourth-wall-breaking antics to their most extreme conclusion.
