Cover Gem of the Week: Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time #1 – Tyler Kirkham

So here we are, again, with Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time #1, because apparently once just wasn’t enough. And neither was the second time. Or the third. This week’s Cover Gem is the variant from Tyler Kirkham, who decided to throw subtlety into a woodchipper and just went full-on cinematic with it. You’ve got Deadpool. Center frame. Mask fully on, doing that smugly heroic pose like he just wrapped up filming his own deleted scene from a horror film Marvel was too scared to greenlight. Everything surrounding Wade is monochrome, drowned in a swirl of black-and-white symbiote carnage. What’s left of the once-ferocious aliens is now just set decoration beneath Deadpool’s boots. There’s even goo on the swords, because why not make it messy?

Now let’s talk about that color play. It’s basic color theory and maximum impact. The only color in this entire cover? Deadpool’s classic red. It pops. It commands. It basically sucker punches you through the page. The white background doesn’t so much highlight Deadpool as it makes everything else feel like the aftermath of his latest “problem solving” session with a katana. Kirkham knows what he’s doing. He doesn’t just draw a cover—he designs a visual mic drop.
Which brings us to Tyler Kirkham. He’s not exactly new to the party. Kirkham started his professional comics career with Image Comics, working on The Gift before eventually bouncing to Top Cow, Marvel, DC, and just about every acronym under the sun. His detailed, high-energy style made him a fan favorite on books like Green Lantern, Deathstroke, Teen Titans, X-Men, and Amazing Spider-Man. He’s one of those rare artists that knows how to blend realism with over-the-top comic flair—and his covers almost always sell out, which tends to catch the attention of the collecting world.
Kirkham’s signature is that mix of gritty textures, perfectly sculpted musculature, and dramatic lighting. If you’re trying to guess whether a cover is his, just look for the guy who looks like he skipped leg day but could punch through a truck. That’s him. And whether he’s painting absolute chaos in Venom variants or giving Spawn a full-body glow-up, Kirkham delivers that layered dynamism collectors chase after.
So, if you’re into cover collecting, first appearances, or watching Deadpool somehow continue to get invited back to the Marvel party even after “killing” everyone, this Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time #1 variant is the one to track down. Not only does it feature one of the best Deadpool visuals of 2025 so far, it also offers a snapshot of symbiote carnage wrapped in pure Kirkham artistry. This isn’t just a comic, it’s a flex in cardstock form.
