tales of the batman marv wolfman volume 1

Marv Wolfman's Deathstroke is still finding its footing in this first volume, but shows some strong potential.Ĭlay Pigeons (Titans #70). I mean I could even accept it if it wasn't for those boots. I will be completely honest with you, the only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is that someone who is called Deathstroke The Terminator can't possibly look as lame as Slade does in his early costume. Especially with all the cold war background, giving you extra political and history knowledge as well. In exchange, we see his friendship with Wintergreen, his probably only true friend, how he does his job as an assassin, what kind of jobs he accepts, what's his work ethic, etc. It's a bit jumping into Slade's background story, where this title starts, his sons are dead, his ex-wife hates him and works on killing him so his personal life is a mess - as usual.

So I dig and found this title from the '90s and holy shit IT IS SO GOOD. But he has limited amount of works with him, he is not exactly Batman with 20 different titles every month. Slade Wilson is one of those DC characters that got better with time so the recent titles with him are absolutely readable and you can get a good picture of his past and personality from those, you don't exactly need to dig deeper. Definitely a good way to remember the good old Anti-Hero Deathstroke before Tony Daniel turned him into a violent homicidal manic.

While at first although they are tracking the same people they remain mostly out of each other's way, but that all changes in an epic rooftop battle to remember for ages. You know who else is in Gotham? I'll give you a hint it starts with B and ends in ATMAN. While this collection doesn't exactly have an origin as he's fresh off a run in teen titans where all that is explained, someone new to the character will have no problem catching up with the plot, by far the best part of the book takes place in issues #6-9 as it is Deathstroke in Gotham City. I collected all issues individually but for ease of giving an overall review I elected to review the collected edition.Īlthough many Comic book fans know the eventual outcome of the fight with 'the ravager' well before reading this it is managed to be told in a way that still gives you some things to be surprised about. This Is A Collection Of 'Deathstroke The Terminator' 1991 Series #1-9 & New Teen Titans #70
