Oh, silly rich people, you think you’ll ever kill Slade? He has such a cool name. Slade.
This issue of Deathstroke is better than and worse than the previous ones. Higgins has some story, but really… it doesn’t matter. Deathstroke is out to kill someone for something, probably money. But he runs into a seemingly deathless opponent and yada yada.
The issue moves because of the fight scenes, which are very long and badly done. Bennett’s proportions on Deathstroke make me wonder if this comic’s for the Cable audience. Bennett flirts with the Liefeld school of anatomy on occasional, or he just doesn’t know how to draw someone crouching.
There’s also Deathstroke’s sidekick, his Q. He shows up for some banter. It’s not terrible banter either.
The fight scenes make the book pass quickly and the cliffhanger’s not too terrible.
Either Deathstroke is less loathsome or I’m a tad disinterested.
