The World’s Deadliest Assassin blasts into a new era in DEATHSTROKE VOL. 1: THE PROFESSIONAL, as part of DC Rebirth!

With a thousand enemies and a thousand kills, Slade Wilson, a.k.a. Deathstroke, is the world’s greatest assassin. His genetically enhanced strength, reflexes, healing and intellect—plus his ruthless dedication to his work—have made him one of the most feared people on the planet.

But even Deathstroke has vulnerabilities—and someone in his inner circle is beginning to exploit them.

When an assignment in a war-torn African country leads him to an old teammate, Deathstroke discovers that his own daughter, Rose—a.k.a. the Ravager—has a price on her head. In order to save her life, he’ll have to break his professional code, betray his most trusted allies, cross his most powerful enemy and defeat his own unshakeable addiction to violence.

Can Deathstroke run this gauntlet and survive with his family, his honor and his life intact?

Find out in DEATHSTROKE VOL. 1: THE PROFESSIONAL, exploding from DC’s blockbuster Rebirth event! This historic volume and great new jumping-on point opens a thrilling new chapter in the life of one of comics’ greatest villains—crafted by the legendary writer Christopher Priest and a killer team of artists, including Carlo Pagulayan, Larry Hama, Joe Bennett and more! Collects issues #1-5 of the acclaimed new series with the DEATHSTROKE: REBIRTH one-shot.

Good starting point and a likable villain

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

When I first started reading this I had to get on the interwebs and do some checking because of the similarities between Deathstroke and Deadpool. And what did I find?... That flat out stealing a character seems to be perfectly legal in the world of comics because Deadpool is a straight up thievery of Deathstroke.

Anyway.

This is the Rebirth issue and that's where I'm coming in to the DC Universe and even though the beginning is pretty confusing because of some time travel. That said I did like this quite a bit.

Slade is a villain, yet seems to be a fully developed, three dimensional character. He appears to be emotionless (he's very distant to his wife and treats his boys like crap) and I'm not sure if that's because of the experiment that made him what he is, but you can see that he cares about them, and even his daughter. He's also very loyal to his friends.

I like this character and I've ordered Vol. 2.

Slightly hard to follow, but an excellent read.

Deathstroke has always been a character that I've been interested in, but haven't gotten around to reading until now. This volume has a really interesting storyline and ends with a cliffhanger that will leave you dying to know what comes next.

Slade is back on course

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

The New 52 did not initially handle Deathstroke well, and even as time went on, his stories never got quite to where they should have been with the character. Rebirth has finally turned things around for old Slade. Previously, Slade's personality was just sort of... off. He was shown as amoral, when the character should have an admittedly-warped code he works by. This is the first big improvement the Rebirth series shows; Slade is still most definitely a villain, as one character even admits, but you can now pinpoint where his thought process is coming from. Additionally, Slade was hardly a tactician in his New 52 books; I never got the feeling he was the smartest guy in the room. Again, this book course-corrects him back to where he was prior; Deathstroke is now planning on so many levels the reader will probably miss them at first.

Of course, improvements aside, the book is very written. Between a well-paced plot, smart character dialogue, and enough humor to balance out the drama, it was hard to put down. Last, the violence in the book is done well; unlike the New 52 books he had, which were gratuitous to the point it lost all impact, this book uses it far more strikingly. By making the bloodshed more focused, it feels more significant when it happens.

If you are a fan of Slade, you owe it to yourself to give this one a read.

As someone who is getting more and more obsessed with Deathstroke’s lore, I must say, that I am enthralled by this. I now see why Christopher Priest has been hailed as producing one of Slade’s best runs.

Maybe I would like this better if I had more than a passing familiarity with the character but I found the book incredibly boring.

Hard to follow at times, but enjoyable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

Deathstroke aka Slade Wilson is one of my favourite characters in DC Comics, point blank. And thus I have been very much looking forward to reading his Rebirth title, having been somewhat let down by his New 52 title.

While the bouncing back and forth between smaller stories and flashbacks was a bit jarring, and confusing at times, I found myself reading through this volume rather quickly. And I found I rather enjoyed it. The high points for me were the maturity of the tone, the action, the dialogue, the reintroduction of elements of Slade's history; particularly his entertaining relationship with Wintergreen and the way Slade himself is portrayed.

Speaking of The Terminator, here he is shown to be the cold, calculating, efficient mercenary and assassin he is meant to be. Christopher Priest is also not afraid to show the more unlikeable traits the character exhibits. Which I actually prefer to the more 'anti-hero' approach some have tried.

The events of Deathstroke's New 52 series appears retconned here, too, as from what I'd read, there is no mention of it at all.

I'd say pick this up if you're a fan of the character, pick it up.

Disappointing..

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

I've always loved the character of Deathstroke, but I felt this was hard to read at times. It was all over the place and I'm really getting sick of hearing about Slades family. There is so much potential in Deathstroke but in my opinion, Christopher Preist does not show this. Hope Garth Ennis one day takes up the reigns, that would be a comic worth reading!

One of the worst graphic novels I've had the misfortune of reading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 7, 2022

Compared to the new 52 graphic novels. These are terrible. The 'action' is Laughable and is over in seconds. It's also really difficult to follow and just generally boring. Avoid and get the new 52 stuff instead
