Deathstroke: Arkham by Christopher J. Priest
3.0

Deathstroke continues to be entertaining, and this is by far the weirdest volume yet, and that's saying something.

So after the events of Batman vs Deathstroke, we have Slade locked up in Arkham. He's considered batshit crazy. Which is mostly true. However, when this is happening, we have his son and daughter working together to free him. But not before some trouble comes there way and a new villain shows up to show Rose who she really is. While this is happening, the doctors at Arkham are trying to "fix" slade but a lot of weird shit is happening.

Deathstroke remains fun. That's the key word for this series. It's family drama mixed with high end action and insane twist. Slade remains a dick, Rose is crazy, both his sons have had enough of his shit, and the end result to this volume is pretty shocking. It is hard to follow at points and there's one really stupid part in issue 4, but overall this is pretty entertaining. A 3 out of 5.
