I loved the hell out of Deathstroke 7. I've heard a few people bag pretty hard on this book, and I don't see it. This book has everything I'd want out of a Deathstroke book and a whole lot more. I loved the crazy amount of action and violence in this issue and this book proves just how awesome Deathstroke is. The art team is stellar and so is the writing. I loved the ending of this issue and I really couldn't find anything I disliked about this issue. I highly recommend this issue. Read Full Review
Deathstroke's first arc never felt as good as it should have. There was always too much action, and while that aspect has improved at the end of this series first story arc, the characters are only just starting to expand away from paper-thin. The storyline did not build well enough because of the pacing problems before this issue. The hindrance as an end to an arc as it should have been can mostly be blamed on it's predecessors, but the ending was so perfect with some great art mixed in that this issue proved to be the perfect epitome to an average arc.

It's very doubtful that Higgins will be able to completely wrap up all the loose ends still remaining involving Slade's troubled family and his ailing body. Nor does Rob Liefeld seem overly concerned with picking up on those threads when he takes over the series. But at the very least, all signs point to issue #8 delivering the most satisfying conclusion to Higgins' run that could be expected under the circumstances. Read Full Review
