I am by no means an internet troll or someone that "gets off" by stirring the pot. I am a huge Deathstroke fan. Slade is what actually drew me back to collecting comics. I started as a kid in the 80's and collected until the mid 90's.
I think the Batman game that featured him ignited my interest in the character. Who was this guy that could stand toe to toe with Batman? Then I saw a picture of God killer Deathstroke and wanted to know more about who he was.
Ebay helped me get my hands on most of the comics that included him and found myself in comic store again collecting every wednesday..... Now every week that Deathstroke is on sale, its a must buy, but I find myself wondering what
the heck did I just read?? I don't like any other characters in this book except for Power Girl.
This book is hard to follow and this version of Deathstroke is forgettable. Every time I finish reading I find myself saying, "What was that??"
Maybe in light of the current state of the world, having a comic with a lead that is a brutal assassin might be in bad taste, but come on!!!
It could be that i'm too 80's and 90's to appreciate this book. I'm not so selfish that I believe a comic should cater just to me. So if ya'll
are enjoying, carrying on.
