Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

I wasn't sure how this would play out, given that the ending didn't seem like it could sustain a sequel.  I'm not sure how to explain it.   I knew that there was a possibility, as it left it open for a sequel, but I was still skeptical.   I didn't think it could sustain the tension, or ratchet it up. 

Of course, I was wrong.   It did so flawlessly, in that it made sense, and it made it so much worse.  It was just as funny, irreverent, and self-referential as the first volume, and added in a human factor that made me care more about what happened in this volume, in fact. 

It wasn't as gory as I expected.   Then again, Deadpool and zombies.   There should be so much gore that your fingers are bloody.   There wasn't.  At first, I was disappointed, sure that I'd been correct that there shouldn't have been another Living Deadpool comic.   About halfway through the first issue, I realized I was wrong.  

And I didn't mind the lack of gore, either.   Deadpool was his same charming self, even during the end of the world.   Liz, his teenage sidekick, was pretty amazing, too.   I'd be willing to read another book set in this universe, but it feels like this might be the end.   It didn't leave it as open for another book, and while I'm telling myself there shouldn't be and that it won't live up to my expectations, I know I said that about this very volume and I was wrong. 

Hopefully, Marvel decides to let Bunn give this another go.
