With only four issues left, it's a little odd just how unclear the main central plot of this series is, but despite that it's always compelling. Priest is at his best writing fatally flawed antiheroes, and this is a fascinating follow-up to his massive run on Deathstroke. Read Full Review

The best book DC is putting out!

Akkad arrives to enact their agenda! Nergal's nefarious schemes brew while he enjoys endless thin mints!
