  YES!!! This is just so good and so shocking at points with its adult content and cold-blooded savagery. Deadshot is a honey badger. Herr's portions with Lawton's backstory and analysis do feel a bit fillery at times but they do give you an understanding of why Deadshot is the way he is. I loved this issue. Read Full Review

  Before I start to discuss the interior art I have to say it's great to see Mike Zeck providing the cover art, as I consider him to be the best cover artists in the industry, and I'm delighted to see him making a return. Plus the cover does serve to give us a good look at Deadshot's new costume design, and while I like the more functional elements, I have to say I'm glad to see the most engaging element of the original design was left untouched, as I love the character's distinctive mask design. As for the interior art, Steven Cummings turns in a pretty impressive show, as the action that opens the issue has a nice flow to it, and the closing bit of action perfectly captures character's willingness to do whatever it takes to win a battle. The last page shot of the character is also a lovely image to close the issue. There's also a number of cute little moments in the background, such as Killer Frost's response the Firebug's unheard comments. Read Full Review
