Year One begins, as Deathstroke joins the list of DC character with a Year One storyline.
To start off, this is the first time we see Slade's origin by his own eyes, his own perspective and feelings about it. We also getting details for the first time about his daily life. Slade feels human here, real, speaking in a more personal way, he had the same job I have now. Crazy coincidence but it really helps making the character... relatable. Anyway, this is a love letter to the character for sure, references to Wolfman and Priest runs. Besides the references, everything feels cohesive.
The art is spectacular, the colours, the pages layout. Outstanding job.
This genuinely has the potential to be one of the best things ever done with the character.
