http://m.ign.com/articles/2016/08/24/deathstroke-1-review-3It's been great to see Deathstroke's popularity soar in recent years thanks to projects like Arrow and Arkham Origins, but DC's master assassin hasn't had a comic worthy of his reputation in some time. That appears to finally be changing thanks to DC Rebirth. Leave it to the writer who dramatically overhauled Black Panther in the late '90s to do the same for Slade Wilson now.
Yeah, that review makes it sound a little more spot-on to what I like to see in Deathstroke. Been hearing good things about the entire DC Rebirth line, actually. I was never a fan of some of the stuff I'd heard was done with the New 52, so I'm glad they decided to do this whole Rebirth thing. Seems to have brought most of the characters closer to their original incarnations.
