Now this is very interesting. I was assuming that this was just before NOPE JUSTICE, but apparently it's a prequel to the Defiance arc, at least, though he's got his Ikon suit and Wintergreen AI (so not insane yet). I'm really, really curious about this all...Originally Posted by Pohzee
I think this interview really shows what people mean when they say "Priest doesn't like Batman." Priest doesn't like how large the suspension of disbelief has become to like Batman.
I LOVE the way he looks at Batman and Slade as trying to save and understand their families. I think too many Batman writers miss that. It's a very O'Neil idea, as well.
I'm very intrigued by Priest promising that the central conflict is not resolved by violence...something many authors promise, but few deliver.
And you can tell this guy's an old salt - he even fanboys about the letterer!
The idea that Priest was originally going to work with a Batman writer (I'm betting Tom King, though he's tight with Steve Orlando, so that might have been a thought, but Orlando hasn't really done much Batman).
Love the phone campaign jokes. I'm really hyped about this!

Agreed! It's so awesome - all the character moments and setup, and then the great fight. Pagulayan is so good. Originally Posted by DIVINITY

Based on what I read the tension is gone but replaced by an interesting mystery instead. Originally Posted by Pohzee

Deathstroke #30 goes to second printing, so cool! I know Batman’s presence had a lot to do with it, but I hope some people who don’t normally read the title get interested on it

I agree - but since I never expected Deathstroke to be Damian's father, I'm glad that Priest just got it out of the way. I want to know - is it Alfred and Wintergreen trying to get Slade and Bruce to relax a bit? Is it someone else? Or a combination of both! Originally Posted by The Dying Detective

Well, that was just a tease to get interest. Because I think the real plot is much deeper... Originally Posted by Jackalope89

It's so good to be back. After 4 month of not reading Deathstroke, I finally got the annual so I binged everything today. I really love the cast in this series, hope it goes long enough for Tanya and Slade to see each other again.
I'm very excited for more Batman vs Deathstroke mental battles, great start for this arc.

Oh, man, not having the annual! That was so important to the Defiance storyline! It was so emotionally shattering - TWICE! And then go on to Chinatown. Man. Really awesome. Originally Posted by SkyMason21

Loved this issue but don’t have much to add. I hope I can get a chance for Priest to sign it at c2e2 this weekend!

This encounter delivered everything that I wanted and then some. I loved the references like how the Robin who speaks about Batman is clearly Dick Grayson and that little segment says a lot about both of them. The contrast between Bruce and Slade is quickly stated and works nicely for their fight which seems to be just a preview of what is about to come.
Solid art as well. Pretty promising.
