It's been great to see Deathstroke's popularity soar in recent years thanks to projects like Arrow and Arkham Origins, but DC's master assassin hasn't had a comic worthy of his reputation in some time. That appears to finally be changing thanks to DC Rebirth. Leave it to the writer who dramatically overhauled Black Panther in the late '90s to do the same for Slade Wilson now.
Deathstroke #1 is a very direct follow-up to Deathstroke Rebirth #1, meaning readers shouldn't use this issue as their jumping-on point. Christopher Priest and Carlo Pagulayan continue their look at Slade's current mission in Africa and the complex web of betrayal and intrigue that has sprung up around that mission. Right away, this is where priest sets himself apart. This isn't necessarily a political book in the same way Black Panther was, but there's a similar story complexity and a sense of actions have far-reaching consequences. Priest gets a lot of mileage out of exploring Slade's rigid moral code and the great lengths this mercenary has to go through to remain true to that code. He's written as more lawful neutral mercenary than outright villain, someone who kills only for money and absolutely never breaks a contract.
