In very Deathstroke Fashion, there's about 20 storylines all going on at once and you'll probably feel a little bit confused. Don't worry, that's the goal here. However, this one ties pretty much everything up.

What I always tell people about Deathstroke is it feels like a big family drama story with a hell of a lot of death, cursing, and taboo sexual acts. Yes, you heard me right. I don't care what they try to rewrite or change, Slade has fucked a teenager before and used her to hurt her best friends. So this all comes to a boil with Tara, his old friends, the love of his children, and his code.

So we have a storyline that follows Rose/Willow, which leads to some questionable moments with another character. We have Superman come in to town, but not Clark, our favorite chinese superman! Slade is the main star here though. He was following a new code to "not" kill anyone. However, we knew that wouldn't last. This is DEATHSTROKE, and he's always a villain.

Good: The fights are pretty brutal. Priest sets up for the artist to really let them be bloody and fucked up. There's a kid flash moment that's really harsh. I also thought the storylines all coming together was nice. Not a lot of loose ends here. The emotional bits somehow work, mostly because everyone is flawed here.

Bad: The rewriting some history and also the Rose storyline could have been better for sure.

Okay so going with a nice 4 out of 5 because, sorry, Deathstroke is always super fun. There's been some weaker volumes overall in this run but this one isn't that. This is as fun and over the top as I expected and man, Priest knows how to write this character.
