Non spoilers section

Very strong issue, now I really care about Respawn. As always, love to see references and connections to previous stuff, be N52 Grant Wilson or Priest's Deathstroke run. This consistent sense of continuity is one of this series strongest aspects. A slow but good read.

So, Respawn really is Slade's son. A clone, to be exact but still. Slade sees in him a new chance of being a father, our terminator is very emotional lately. This issue makes easy to empathize with Respawn, I genuinely want him to have some kind of happy ending now. And Slade wants that too. Also, Slade going up against Ra's has some much more impact now. Of course, Deathstroke's motivations now are aiming troughs Dark Crisis and we get a little bit more insight about why Slade is preparing himself and others. Overall, another very cohesive and relevant issue for this series.
