Deathstroke: The Terminator (1991-1996) Vol. 1: Assassins (Deathstroke (1991-1996))

I like what DC are doing here, with reprinting earlier story's for the likes of Deathstroke and the Suicide Squad. Unfortunately it does not give Deathstroke The Terminators full origin, which i was hoping for. It does give hints to it though. Also, because it was the 80s a few of the styles and phrases are dated, but the only thing I will complain about is Deathstrokes boots, they're the only thing from making him full on bad as. All in all it was a good intro to the character for me, I have always like the 80s style artwork, and there is an issue where Deathstroke is pitted against the Dark Knight. Great read

Ive decided to go back and read the original deathstroke comics. So far I have really enjoyed the story and the art work

Deathstroke is a tough-as-nails supersoldier who will get the job done. The graphic novel follows his high octane missions as he battles another mercenary named Ravager and even beats up Batman! Deathstroke is at times a sympathetic character because he carries the guilt of ruining his whole family. I loved reading this. The artwork is great and the stories are gritty.

Great collection bought the original comics was not disappointed with this item

This is Deathstroke at his core. Slade and Wintergreen doing missions together was great and Slade dealing with his own mistakes that cause his family to dislike him. It makes you feel for Slade and root for him. Anybody who wants to know Deathstroke then read this. Its a classic.

Superheroes and villains are created on a daily basis. Some stay and many appear and disappear just as quick never to be seen again. But only once in a blue moon does a character come along who takes your breath away. Someone who visibly clears the decks and is left standing with no contenders to even touch them. Such a character is Deathstroke. When I first encountered this guy all the way back in the day with issue no.2 of The New Teen Titans, I, and many comic fans like me, could tell we'd be hearing a lot more from this guy. I think it was because he was a mercenary, someone who didn't fight for good or evil - but fought for money. With his haunted past, Deathstroke was a man of mystery and ambiguity. He was an enigma, a puzzle to try and fathom. Over thirty years later, I think we are still trying to fathom out Slade Wilson. Just as you think you have got the measure of the man behind the mask, another dark part of his psyche is revealed. This man has more layers than an onion! Here, Deathstroke takes time out from battling the Teen Titans to have his own title which premiered in 1991. This volume includes TT no.70 and Deathstroke 1-9. The last four issues forms the 'City of Assassins storyline and features Batman. This has to be one of the best alliances ever as they are both strong men with a broken past. Written by Marv Wolfman, who originally created Deathstroke with George Perez (both men deserve a sainthood imho), continues Deathstroke's fractured storyline with his ex-wife, Adeline and manservant, Wintergreen, which adds to these stories. Art is by Steve Erwin who perfectly depicts this character. I also love the fact that the paper used here is not the glossy kind, but has a matt finish. It is reminiscent of the comics of old and gives the story and artwork an edge. Deathstroke is one of the most beguiling characters to come out of the DC universe in recent years (well, the last thirty, anyway) and this is a must-read for any DC fan, young or old.
