This Wednesday sees the release of “Deathstroke” #1 from the team of Christopher Priest, Jason Paz and Carlo Pagulayan. By my count, it’s been near a decade since we’ve seen Priest write new material for DC Comics, so seeing his name attached to this series was a welcome sight indeed. With a Rebirth issue already on stands, “Deathstroke” #1 will officially kick off the newly relaunched title’s firs arc. To get everyone as excited as we are, we’ve got an exclusive first look at the issue courtesy of the folks at DC Comics. “Deathstroke” #1 will be available Wednesday August 24 from finer comic shops everywhere.
“The Professional” part one! Deathstroke’s latest contract takes him to a war-torn African country, where he finds himself caught in the middle of a disintegrating alliance between a ruthless dictator and a deadly super-villain. With an entire nation at stake, Slade Wilson must choose between fulfilling his contract and saving an old friend.
