Issues with Batman were okay. Everything before that was pretty meh. Artwork wasn't to my liking, at all. Full review to come.

The first half of this comic is a schizophrenic jumbled mess that is trying way way way too hard to be smart. Super PAC's, Kurds aren't jihadis, Khmer Rouge, on and on and on. Non-linear stories work when its abundantly clear *when* things are happening, Priest needs a stronger grasp on how to inform readers what the hell is going on. Too convoluted, a rocky start.The second half of this story is fantastic. A complex story, not convoluted. Witty characters, still trying to be too smart with the

Did you know Rebirth is a massive hit for DC? They’re selling a buttload of these comics! But is anyone reading them? Because if they are, how are DC still managing to sell so many comics when they’re this bad?? I’m honestly at a loss to explain it. Despite his horrendous Black Panther comics at Marvel, I was willing to give Christopher Priest another shot but after Deathstroke Rebirth, that’s it. I’m never reading another Christopher Priest comic again! After some meandering drivel in Africa, D...

Wow! I don't think I've read anything having to do with Deathstroke since the glory days of the New Teen Titans. Takes me back. It's a tribute to Wolfman and Perez that their character is still going strong and seemingly an integral part of the DC Universe.The book is all twisty and plot-y, appropriate for an action title with a mercenary protagonist. I found the storyline a bit confusing at first. It does a lot of jumping around, but there are some nice touches. I liked the handling of Clock Ki...

5 🌟Deathstroke goes to rescue Billy Wintergreen after he is captured by Clock King. After, Slade goes to find his daughter, Rose, after a hit is put out on her. They go to Gotham and encounter Batman and Robin.

At first I didn't like it. The first two issues are confusing, jumbled, and pretty hard to following. Then it starts panning out, and you get into it, and then it clicks. It's a lot of fun when Damien and Batman come in. Batman being cold and calculated and Damien being a little shit in the best way possible. Works well to see the two work with Deathstroke and Rose (his daughter). Listen I don't like Slade much. I never understood the hype around him. I believe Judas Contract is veryyyyyy overra...

it ended on a cliffhanger and yet i feel no urge to find out exactly how that endedRep: biracial Hmong mc

ARC REVIEW Story: This is a good starting point for new readers of Deathstroke. The first half of the volume; Prologue, Among Thieves, Band of Brothers, flip flops between the past and the present giving the reader a nice idea of the origin not an in depth one but it gives all the right information. The first three parts also tells of Deathstroke dealing with an African Warlord, the Red Lion, to save his friend Wintergreen. He also has to deal with the Clock King. The second half of the volume B...

I was not expecting a masterpiece and it is not a masterpiece, but as I (finally) am trying various Rebirth titles, this is the most promising first volume I’ve read from the Rebirth line so far.“Well, is that really saying much for you, L.?”Good point if you go over them:DC Universe Rebirth One Shot- Meh. Not bad but didn’t particularly like it.Detective Comics- Absolutely hated.Harley Quinn- Pretty terrible despite the art.Nightwing- Good. Fun but nothing great.Wonder Woman- Very good but stil...

When I heard that Christopher J. Priest, the first black comic book writer and editor for Marvel and DC Comics was coming out of retirement, I knew I had to pick-up what ever project he was doing. After reading his amazing work for Black Panther (which will be made into a movie next year) I had very high expectations...and they have been met. He came back to write one of the most notorious characters in DC Comics history and brought his signature style to it. This was a blast to read pretty much...

I'm not a fan of the character Deathstroke. I wouldn't put him in the top 25 villains at DC and I've never really read much with him as a central figure, but since this was free, I figured I'd check it out. Christopher J. Priest has told a underwhelming story with many unnecessary flashbacks. Those flashbacks come at weird times in the story and break the flow of the narrative. I understand that these Rebirth books are supposed to be a jumping on point for new readers, but even with the flashbac...

I really wanted to like this because I really like Christopher Priest. But there were just too many moments that I just kind of shook my head, re-read a few pages, and then went...Wait. What? I know who Deathstroke is and I know some backstory on his character, but I don't think I'm alone when I say that I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of everything about the guy.It's Deathstroke, not Superman, you know?A little re-cap wouldn't hurt. So, I don't know whether I'm just missing too much info...

I didn't care for the beginning of the series. It was a little too grim and gritty for me. But then Christopher Priest brought in those same storytelling methods that made his Black Panther series so great. Once Rose shows up the book really takes off. Her relationship with Slade is fantastic. I'd really like to see Priest write a series featuring Damien Wayne after his appearance in this book. I love how Damien is written as this snotty, little shit. He's hilarious. Carlo Pagulayan and Joe Benn...

reading this now is so much better, a lot of stuff happens in later issues that makes this volume feels more sophisticated and complex, plus, it's easier to understand too

wow, this rebirth is really a sh*t parade of terrible albums..There was nothing interesting about this Deathstroke.. And I like Deathstroke... But this piece of §#!é made sure I will never continue reading this...DC is running out of chances.. Think I'm ready to move on now :p

Had this mixed up with Deathstroke, Volume 1: Legacy instead. Sorry if I have steered anyone wrong. But, I hear this newer collection is no better...

Not bad but not great. I liked seeing Slade come back but the story got a little cheesy at times. I would read more of this series. Didn't care for the art although the Batman redesign was pretty cool.

I received an eARC copy of this graphic novel from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.First off, I loved the artwork. The characters were drawn vividly and the color really jumps out and is pleasing to the eye.But. The story? Eh. There were good moments, but overall it was pretty disjointed. Even within each issue, the storyline jumps from past to present to not as past but more past than present to kinda present to huh? And, where I though this was a reboot of sort...

I received this from Edelweiss and DC Comics in exchange for an honest review, sort of. I was supposed to receive Astro City, Vol 14, but got this one instead. By mistake. Whatever. 3 stars, and showing promise. I was really confused about what was happening with all of the flashbacks and jumping all over the globe, but about halfway through the book, things started coming together. Probably because a certain character just seemed to disappear. The book ends very abruptly, right in the middle of...

Overall, a pretty good volume. It got much better as it went along. The first few issues involve separate missions and people from Deathstroke's past. I'm no expert on Slade so these were new-to-me characters. Then the book settles into the main arc, which was the best part for me. A hit is taken out on Deathstroke's daughter and they end up in Gotham having a head-to-head with Batman and Robin. The ending brings a shock reveal that hooks you into needing to keep reading.
