  This could just be my bias for Kyle Higgins speaking, but his first 8 issues of N52 Slade showed a lot of potential in a writer early in their career. I really gravitated to the idea of a Slade Wilson who was no longer in his prime, and I think it was executed fairly well. Plus it feels like a complete standalone story with the 8 issues, which I rarely see nowadays for an ongoing series. Just sucks that Liefeld had to take over, so we couldn't get more from Higgins.

  The New 52 series for Deathstroke begins with the Legacy story arc, where Slade Wilson is hunted by an assassin hired by the family of someone he recently killed. The story felt uninteresting as writer Kyle Higgins seems to focus more on action and spectacle. Even after I through read the reveal of the story, I was still bored of the book. The artwork showcases two or three scenes that are very action heavy and the art itself is a little harsh but also easy enough on the eyes. The book was a slog to get through and was not worth the time nor money. If you want to read Deathstroke, read something else. This is not a good purchase.
