Deathstroke #18

So what've we got here? Good writing and not so good art. Is the title worth picking up? Honestly, the editorial sword of Damascus looming over Deathstroke would dissuade most people from taking a chance on it. But I'd say that if you're even remotely interested in a fun, quick, and entertaining read, pick up the previous release (Deathstroke #17) and then pick up this one since it isn't really a stand-alone issue.

One good thing about this issue is that the final pages do suggest a deeper and more meaningful conflict on the horizon for Slade. Jordan is beginning to tie this series together with the events of Team 7. With both books on the chopping block soon, hopefully Jordan will have time to give Slade's current journey the conclusion it deserves. Read Full Review

Overall it was good fun and an above average issue and towards the end there is a suggestion of a better storyline and one with possibly more depth however the question is with not much time yet for the title one wonders if it will be given enough time to flourish. Read Full Review

Just like before, this issue isn't bad. You get what you would expect if you've been reading this title for a while and it's still an improvement from when Rob Liefeld (and sometimes Kyle Higgins) were writing the series. But the readers of this issue should be from a very select group a group who has at least read and enjoyed Deathstroke #17 (and Team 7 if they want to appreciate the ending). Everyone else... there are plenty of other comics in the sea that offer more originality than this one does. Read Full Review

Deathstroke seems like an interesting enough character, a genetically enhanced assassin? Sure why not. Unfortunately the book just wasn't all that interesting. The fight would have been awesome in a movie or on TV but it just didn't translate well to the page Read Full Review
