While a bit of a slow start, Deathstroke: Year One is certainly another big step forward in further understanding the psyche of Slade Wilson. Ed Brisson's writing is great and personal, Dexter Soy and Veronica Gandinis art and colors carry forth the emotional weight of the book. As a new jumping on point for the Deathstroke character, this isnt a bad place to start at all! Read Full Review
Although hardly essential reading, Brisson and Soy do their best to add some wrinkles and layers to the classic Deathstroke origin. Theyre off to a decent start even if feels largely unnecessary. Read Full Review
Deathstroke Inc. #10 is the start of a by-the-numbers Year One story that most can skip. Why? Well, for now, there is nothing new or interesting going on in this paint-by-numbers issue. It looks good, but the cliche-filled narrative makes it feel like it's only here to extend the life of this book while Dark Crisis is going on. Read Full Review
By the final page when it's made clear this retelling will continue with issue #11, the only question that remains is what exactly is the purpose of this flashback? Read Full Review
Year One begins, as Deathstroke joins the list of DC character with a Year One storyline.
To start off, this is the first time we see Slade's origin by his own eyes, his own perspective and feelings about it. We also getting details for the first time about his daily life. Slade feels human here, real, speaking in a more personal way, he had the same job I have now. Crazy coincidence but it really helps making the character... relatable. Anyway, this is a love letter to the character for sure, references to Wolfman and Priest runs. Besides the references, everything feels cohesive.
The art is spectacular, the colours, the pages layout. Outstanding job.
This genuinely has the potential to be one of the best things ever done more
Solid start!
Hopefully Brisson can surprise me!
