The spotlight goes 100% to the art today, this was truly wonderful to look at. The art style, how every color was used, the pages layout, just beautiful. Easily one of the best looking comics i've read in a while. The story was good too, it had an interesting contrast. If you go back to DC's One Year Later line, where Deathstroke was Oliver's main villain, and compare to this, you can see how things change over the years. Even though this was more action heavy it still founds proper time to character drama. I have to tip my hat to how cohesive this Deathstroke is to Wolfman's and Priest at the same time. But I do have one complaint, even having in mind that this is a younger and inexperienced Slade, the character strategist side is nowhere to be found. This isn't a problem exclusive to this, in every project Slade is in currently they never bring this up, how Deathstroke is supposed to be of DC most brilhant tacticians. Again, I know this is the character's first contract, but he learned the importance of strategy while he was still in the army. Why is DC erasing this side of the character? Anyway, for the art and character drama, this is worth the read.
