Here's the blog! Priest is still busy, but his assistant is posting a discussion spot for fans.

I'm glad that Batman vs Deathstroke is finally done. It was a decent arc but it was definitely not worth all the butthurt and drama that some fans started because of it.
I'll be interested to see what happens with the sales after the arc. Batman being in the book spiked them (by a huge 18-20k!), but I wonder if anyone will stick around?
I will raise my throne above the Stars of God
That is a really good question, and one I've been asking since we had word of the incredible sales spike. I'm hoping that we can keep sales at least around 25k (30k would be amazing, but probably too good to be true), since that'll almost certainly guarantee getting to 50.

The whole plot for this Batman vs. Deathstroke Arc was imo kind of weak.
The reason why they fought each other was imo really dumb, and seriously are the Batfamily members not able to do DNA tests on their own?
And i still don't get why they made Tim look like Dick/Jason for this video ...
Looks like it’s making it to 50 issues after all! Very happy about this.

I liked the idea that such villains like Talia probably have initiated multiple schemes over the years that went nowhere. And then suddenly, years later, one of old schemes just starts playing out. Makes you think how many other potential plots are hidden somewhere in some box that nobody ever bothered opening.
Also I liked the ending. Bruce got strong character moment with saying that Damian is his son regardless if he is biological father or not. And we, the readers, got confirmation that Bruce is biological father of Damian. Win/Win.
Assuming Arkham arc last for 6 issues then we should get two more arcs till we reach #50, great news.

Looking at the solicitations for December, I am happy to see Two-Face will be making an appearance; this Arkham arc is gonna be great at seeing Batman villains ...cause I have no desire to read any Bat books at this time.
My priority is black female characters; everything else is secondary.

So...we get the first issue of Arkham - the first followup on what's going on with Slade and his family in seven months. What are people excited about? What do people want to see?
I'm really hoping we get an update on what's happening with Rose. Joey, too, though he was around during Batman v. Deathstroke, so I don't feel his absence as much. I'm also really curious about what will happen with Deathstroke facing all of the villains...and what Priest's idea of Arkham's workings will be. (I should check out what Tom King did with Arkham in I Am Suicide and I Am Bane, since I know Priest is a fan of King's.)
I also just reread Deathstroke #20-29, to catch up on the status quo. Oh, man, such a good series.

We have a preview! Finally! https://www.cbr.com/preview-deathstroke-36/
Kinda funny, starting off with Deathstroke beating on all of the villains, while we get a recap to get us up to speed (even though I literally just did that last night. )
Still bummed that Pasarin is doing art for this arc.
