Faces Of Evil Deathstroke #1

Faces Of Evil Deathstroke #1

Deathstroke nearly died fighting Geo-Force in DCU: LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, and now he needs to rebuild himself. He's not about to let a near death experience make him lose his place as one of the most dangerous villains in the DCU. Where will he start? What's next for the Terminator? And how high will the body count be when he's finished?

Terminator using a Lightsaber......sounds kinky

Is this a one-shot or is this a mini? Cause I love me some Deathstroke and I wonder if this is a set-up to a mini or not. (Like Solomon Grundy one-shot that came out earlier)

I believe it's just a one-shot

@TNC: All of these Faces of Evil spotlight books are one-shots.

Posted by conor on 01/19/09 at 05:53 PM

@conor: Well I just wasnt sure. Cause the Grundy one-shot is a 'prequel' to the Grundy mini coming out later. Thought it would be the same for this. Still I hope this is good.

I'm looking forward to this, but does anyone know anything about the creative team? I've never heard of either of them.

David Hine is right now doing The Brave and the Bold (which I'm told is a good team up with Green Lantern/Green Arrow  and Phantom Stranger) and Spider-Man: Noir. Plus a crap load of other Marvel stuff I never heard of or seen. George Jeanty has done the majority of the pencils for Buffy Season 8.

So the recent track record for both is pretty good right now.

idk about this one. I think slade is a great character, but very few writer know how to write him well...

Posted by cyberauron on 01/20/09 at 02:03 AM

DCU: Last Will and Testament was very blah. But i do love the character so I'm gonna give this a shot.

Posted by WinTheWonderboy on 01/20/09 at 02:12 AM

Should I hope on this issue. i heard these one shots are prequels to a justice league rebut ?

Posted by jorgevillatoro on 01/20/09 at 02:27 AM

@Champ - Thanks, mate.

@jorge - If you like Deathstroke, I'd say pick it up. Even if these books are leading to something else, I think they can be enjoyed on their own. 

Posted by WadeWilson on 01/20/09 at 12:08 PM

I might actually pick this up.

Posted by robbydzwonar on 01/20/09 at 10:51 PM

I like Deathstoke so i will pick it up. Thank You @WadeWilson

From what I understand this book will lead into a new Teen Titans or Titans storyline this year, just like Prometheus was a prequel to Robinson's Justice League and Grundy was a prequel for his own mini

I really want the Deathstroke that was in his long running series to return.

Posted by WadebeforeSlade on 01/21/09 at 01:02 PM

This was an okay issue, not the best but Hine does have a nice feel to Deathstroke.

I hope he is used more then just Titans storylines. Cause I remember in Identity Crisis he was just a force to the JLA in that one issue; I want him to be that type of villain.

Posted by TheNextChampion on 01/21/09 at 02:41 PM

I was just getting this because Deathstroke is badass, but now that I'm seen that Jeanty is drawing it.  Hells to the yeah!!

Posted by roadcrew1 on 01/21/09 at 03:13 PM

not bad, not great. in the middle i would say

Posted by rayclark on 01/21/09 at 06:03 PM

this was a comic version of a back door pilot. pretty good story left enough room to be carried on into a new series. i kind of hope they would. does anyone know what happened to jericho his son

Posted by cyberauron on 01/21/09 at 09:19 PM

So he went from murderous merc for hire to anti-hero now? I'm cool with that I just want to make sure I understood it correctly.

Posted by Parker on 01/21/09 at 10:32 PM

@ Parker Yes

Posted by cyberauron on 01/22/09 at 12:16 AM

@cyberauron: Are you asking what Jericho is up to now? Or how he got his throat slit? I believe he was kidnapped when younger, and when Slade went to save him somehow Jericho got his throat slit and lost the use of his voice. I know he showed up in the DCU Decisions book, and will be showing up in the Teen Titans/Titans/Vigilante crossover in a few months. 

 

This was an ok book, I prolly shouldn't have read it right after the FOE Promethius book because a)it was awesome and b) they were kinda similar with having both villians "awaken" from where ever they're imprisioned and then escaping. I did really enjoy the art though, and I'm pretty excited to see what Ravager does next.

This book was so awesome it made me wanna change my iFanboy name to Slade Wilson! Great stuff. I love this character, I can't wait to see what this book leads to.

Posted by WadeWilson on 01/22/09 at 11:44 PM

strong one shot that I really enjoyed. I've liked Deathstroke since Identity Crisis and thought he made an interesting Green Arrow counterpoint.
