That was a rollercoaster ride and a half. For a seven issue storyline, there was a hell of a lot thrown into those - it's more like two or three stories threaded together. The reason it's called Twilight isn't even revealed until issue 5, for crying out loud. But bloody hell, does Christopher Priest know how to do this comic book thing right.We get revelations regarding, in no particular order, Jericho's fiancé, Rose's family, Deathstroke's eyes, Power Girl's dog, and Doctor Ikon's fate. Plus a

This is taking The Wilson Family in a dysfunctional direction which could be interesting but not with this writer. Too many herrings leading to boring family fights. Deathstroke needs to go solo for awhile...

Who knew reading anything about a villain could be so much fun? I mean Hannibal Lechter, and others, never quite did it for me. Personally, I think much of the credit has to go to Christopher Priest, and yes I admit to being a fan of his writing (for the most part-he has had some misses also).Priest does not run from the fact that Slade Wilson is a killer with probably no moral code (as someone who has a dog, what Slade does to a dog here pretty much pushes him over the irredeemable line). Yet,

I'm enjoying this series, but really Deathstroke is just such a jerk it's hard for me to really get into. He's always walked the line between hero and villain, and even crossed the line several times, but normally he was still interesting. He's become so unlikable it's almost hard to maintain interest. That being said, there's enough going on with the story to keep things entertaining. The art is above average and there are several engrossing plotlines to keep things intriguing. I'll continue wi...

If you're a fan of asterisks, boy do I have a book for you!Seriously Priest likes to connect and reference past events from this book a lot. Like, a lot a lot. And that's due to the fact that he is constantly jumping from past, to present, to future, to back to past, to then present, then future... you get the idea. His Tarantino-esque approach to this book can work well sometimes, but I found it to be tedious for the most part. And it can sometimes make the narrative a bit disjointed. Which I s...

Deathstroke is a soap opera. It's a soap opera about a family of assassins, everyone is awful, but lovable, and capable of anything. It's a sort of drama I'm not used to seeing in comics, and it works here exceptionally well. A cameo is never just a cameo. Instead, Priest finds a way and reason to ingrain a cameo into an impressive pathos, with ever increasing stakes. This is one of the most compelling superhero books on the market, and while it may be tough to follow, this volume answers many o...

Priest's work on Deathstroke seems to have really gelled in this third volume. We've become pretty familiar with the whole cast of characters, and they're all facing notable issues in this volume. My favorite is the interaction between Slade and Power Girl and the idea that she might cause him to change, but Joe and Rose's plots are no less compelling.Overall, a great superhero story that's about so much more.

Maybe it's the afterglow of the War of Jokes and Riddles, but I thought this improved somewhat. I liked the twist of Deathstroke as Daredevil. One small part that absolutely does not make any sense is Beast Boy leaving anyone alone with Deathstroke. Has he really recovered from the Judas Contract? (Did the Judas Contract not happen in Rebirth?) There are some parts dangling around that I would like resolution to:The Red Lion is the Black Panther, right?"Wheel-on" and "Will-hane" have some relati...

Lots of interesting twists and turns here. Priest has crafted an intricate story while juggling a multitude of plot threads. Some times it's so many I lose track of what's going on myself, especially since some times the stories are told out of order as well. Slade is back to his antihero roots. One minute helping a naive teenager, the next killing people behind her back. Oh, and they actually managed to make Deadline cool for the first time. Joe Bennett and Carlos Paguyan provide top notch art

Sheesh, Deathstroke has some major family issues. This is my first Deathstroke novel. Honestly I didn't really know much about him until I watched Suicide Squad. I had a general idea of the character but nothing in dept. That's probably why I was so confused by his name. I was like what the heck Slade Wilson...why is that so familiar? Slade Wilson....Slade...Wade Wilson! Deadstroke...Deadpool. Had to look it up. I've decided I'm team Wade Wilson, scarred face and all. The Deathstroke portrayed i...

Well this series is always refreshing and fun. Sometimes it doesn't always connect but I have enjoyed this series so far. This volume though, in my honest opinion, finally gets to the "great" status I knew it could. So the start is a bit confusing, as always, but once you catch the flow you're good to go. Slade doing some terrible things of course to his family that reveals how fucked up he really is. When Slade goes to get his suit back afterwards something bad happens and Slade meets a young l...

probably the simplest volume so farpretty straightforward in terms of story, this isn't about laws or ideologies, this is about family, how the Wilsons are a broken familyThus making one solid read about a man with emotional scars trying to conect with his family and failing

The best volume so far of a great series. There is some really fine story telling in this book, and Priest ramps up the family drama of the Wilson family. Seeing the super-hero guest star was a bit of a surprise, but I like what Priest has done here tremendously. Looking forward to the next volume. Oh, and those Bill Sienkiewicz covers are just beautiful and need to be on my wall asap.

Twilight is a continuation of the never-ending soap opera that is the Wilson family, and I mean that in a good way. The members of Slade Wilson's family continue their own ways, trying to put their own lives together, and with each turn, find themselves entangled in Deathstroke's weave even further. Priest continues to show the complex emotions in Deathstroke's head as he finds himself teamed up with a very unlikely ally, one that he almost respects as much as he looks down on. This may be Rebir...

This Deathstroke series is great. It’s very involved and refreshing to see a comic that doesn’t pander to the audience in anyway.Slade is here and he’s blind now, and we rewind to the beginnnng if Twilight.This volume is some really good stuff, I love how though the book is about Slade it’s also about his family and the things he has sowed for himself. It also takes the DC universe seriously and doesn’t treat the Superhero goings ons as silly at any point and it’s nice to see a title that plays

This volume of the story of Deathstroke is probably the most soap-opera of the entire run so far. He's going through drama, his kids are going through drama, everyone is getting messed-up from being associated with him. During this time, he meets an aspiring superhero that he improbably takes a shine to. This arc leads into the first big crossover for this series and the Teen Titans books, so a lot of set-up also had to be done. I didn't mind the melodrama to much, because the craftiness and cra...

I’m bouncing back and further reading the original Marv Wolfman Deathstroke series from the 1990s and Christopher Priest’s modern interpretation of the character. Each are fantastic runs exploring Slade Wilson and his warped moral worldview.It’s difficult for me to decide which run I enjoy more. Luckily, I don’t have to.In this third volume of Priest’s run it feels like the story is really gathering steam. Priest still keeps his focus on studying the character of Slade Wilson and the strange fam...

Christopher Priest continues his winning run on Deathstroke with this terrific third volume. After having been (involuntarily) broken out of prison by his frenemy Red Lion (DC's psychotic despot spin on Black Panther), Slade is on the run from the government while also tracking down evidence that could potentially convict his ex-wife Adelaine. Meanwhile, Rose Wilson is still learning about her mother's side of the family and living a quiet life away from her father and Jericho Wilson is dealing

The chaotic fragments and narrative from the previous volumes finally come together in this volume. The story itself was meant to be complicated. That was what made the series captivating despite all its faults in the previous volumes. In addition, the variety of character backgrounds is a rare treat in comic books and mainstream story-telling. Jared's story touched on the emotional complexity and misunderstanding often faced by bisexual people. Rose's story deals with heritage and how much one

Well the complexity and intrigue continues from the previous volumes. No other rebirth volume that I've read has so many asterisks referencing what has happened in previous volumes. Turns out our Slade is beyond devious and manipulative taking it to the next level! A little darker than many of the other DC Universe characters, we see Slade manipulate his daughter into thinking she's connecting with her family heritage, and sleep with Joseph's (his son) fiancee, Etienne. However, she also happene...
