Deathstroke #16

Deathstroke continues being a self contained flurry of fists and explosions and that's why I like it so much.  It's funny that such a violent book can be my monthly pallette cleanser, but with so many books trying to go for that deeper meaning, it is nice to sit back and watch a heavily armored guy trying to save his daughter.  Don't go and get fancy on us James,  you have Deathstroke exactly where he should be.

This comic book is coming around, slowly, but surely and I have to commend Bonny on it. The artwork was damn good as well, this is more of my style and I enjoyed reading and reviewing this comic book. What I'm expecting to see in the next issue is hopefully making Ravager realize that her dad cares about her (that sounded so cheesy typing that) " And I expect for Red Hood to kick some butt. Now make it happen. Read Full Review

Still, Deathstroke #16 is a pretty fun roller-coaster ride. And there were several moments that had me holding my breath. Regardless of my feelings on the artwork, Deathstroke vs Red Hood is a fight that I'll pay to see any day, and this one did not disappoint. The fight was also well-choreographed. There may have been one panel where I was like, "How they hell did they get there from the last panel?", but just one is no crime. Things are going pretty well for this series. Deathstroke was canceled in a previous ongoing back in 2013, I believe. I have not heard any word of this title being shaken out in the midst of the Rebirth announcements. Let's hope that remains true. Read Full Review

Additionally, apart from starring in his own title Deathstroke also makes an appearance in this month's Green Arrow issue #50. You may also want to give that a try. Read Full Review

This series has worked pretty well lately, and for me that was because of the creative team on the book having a seemingly consistent and dependable output. Now, with Rebirth fast approaching, all DC's creative teams are in flux, and it feels like its just chaos over there. This issue has a new artist. I'm not familiar with them, but I liked the art on this book. I was glad we got the explanation that Red Hood wasn't taking an assassination job for Deathstroke, just to beat him up. The tease of an "old friend" coming back for the next issue should be interesting, but if its yet again another new artist, I don't know how much I will like it. After some combing of the internet, I found out that it looks like Kirkham and Bonny are back for the rest of this story (though, don't believe everything you read on the internet) and that from the Rebirth announcement today I haven't seen James Bonny land anywhere with DC in their Rebirth lineup- granted it was a big panel, and he could have slipped through the cracks, but I would have thought I could remember him, since I remembered to look for Tony Daniel and Tyler Kirkham, specifically. But having the main guys back on this book should iron out the wrinkles and give us the big finish that this series truly deserves. more
