• Can Deadpool rid the universe of the scourge of classical literature?
There aren't many apocalypse scenarios featuring a deranged murderer whose goal is to destroy the idea of ideas. The writing is well done and paced. It begins by showing some of Deadpool's kills and then starts with his fight against Scylla and Charybdis. His next kill basically kills all the ideas for Marvel heroes and their teams. And then concludes with his battle against Sherlock Holmes and Co. Deadpool goes crazy a lot in this issue especially with the voice in his head. Though, all of his 4 wall breaking comments and random remarks are thoughtful and funny. The ending is bitter sweet though so expect the unexpected. Read Full Review
To be frank, this issue, and the series as a whole, was a complete bust. While the artwork was solid, the entire premise is so irrepairably flawed that nothing could have saved it. Through the four issues, a story of murder through realities was built up with no payoff, complimented with bad humor and conceptual hurdles that were never cleared. While the disappointment is mostly based on the popularity of the Deadpool character, this series is a perfect case of overusing a character to the point where new attempts to explore stories with the character fall incredibly flat.

I don't know, the conclusion feels incomplete and it's weird how powerless classic characters literally (ha-ha, get it?) defeated Deadpool, but overpowered superheroes couldn't.
Also I don't know why, but I bought this book years ago and never tried to reread it before this moment. It's actually better, than I remembered it, but still worse, then the first book.
