Christopher Priest continues to write an ongoing story about a once mercenary turned hero leading a team of teenagers with the feel of a television show with spectacular writing. Read Full Review
Deathstroke continues being one of the smartest books on the shelf today and Priest adds Wally West as a character he can totally kill with this week. The art and story are so good and the only thing stopping this from getting higher marks is the slow paced nature of the overall narrative. However, I can't really complain too much because I have been loving the ride. Read Full Review
With art that compliments the group of characters as well as Priest's writing does, the biggest flaw that this series seems to have now is that it isn't released every week! Read Full Review
The more we care about the home lives of these heroes, the more the stakes will feel real to us when the dangerous super-heroing is going on. The issue forgoes a villain plot to focus on character development, creating a fun book that hearkens back to the title that Deathstroke premiered in: Teen Titans. Read Full Review
Deathstroke continues to be an intriguing and thought-provoking book. With an intentionally perplexing lead in Slade and a relatable pseudo-guest star in Kid Flash, #24 is another issue worthy of your time and money. Pick it up. Read Full Review
Diogenes Neves and Jason Paz continue to do a great job with whats largely a relationship-oriented issue rather than the narrative pyrotechnics of past issues. Which is a great time either way: after all a good dialogue scene is as reliant on skills in character acting as the best action scene is on choreography. Not to mention that every issue has Jeromy Cox's colors on tap, which has continued to be a boon to the visual sensibility of this comic. All of that being said: Deathstroke is continuing to accumulate Jenga pieces in its ongoing game of betrayal and complication, now is as good a time as any to jump on. Youre never likely to know what the next issues twist is going to be. Read Full Review
I enjoyed Deathstroke #24 and I'm definitely looking forward to the next issue, because it seems that the Secret Society has come to pay Slade a visit! He declined their invitation to rejoin a few issues back"and apparently that's something that you don't do. Black Manta, Killer Frost, Vandal Savage, Reverse Flash and more. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how Deathstroke deals with his former team of villains! Read Full Review
Deathstroke#24 is an enjoyable issue for existing readers and an accessible entry point into a layered title. Read Full Review
The continuing thread about the vigilante woman hunting Chinese gangs continues to be odd but the payoff is sure to come. Read Full Review
Not an awful story and it does move the arc along with good supporting art and a nice little ending to keep us wondering what will happen next. Read Full Review
Mildly hard to read a comic with a sniper at the moment. And mildly hard to really get Kid Flash, a rare character that Priest doesn't really have a feel for. But good otherwise.
Well, except for the stuff with Terra. I have no idea what's up with that.
It doesn't feel like the plot is really going anywhere in this issue. Lately, the plot has just been about Deathstroke training his new team, which could be well done, but comes across as boring and disposable in reality. Plus the stuff with Chinatown still doesn't have any significance to the story. The art is below average even. Luckily, the writing is still on point, and this issue comes with a promising ending.
