It's just another issue of Deathstroke, and as always has more going on than most books have in an arc. Read Full Review

Deathstroke has managed to keep Defiance going for a while, and its remained compelling by keeping the reader guessing, the characters engaging, and the story interesting. Priest, Neves, Paz, and Cox have a real gem here, and I certainly recommend this book. Give it a read. Read Full Review

Deathstroke is reaching a fever pitch with not only the “Defiance” story but the more than year long worth of stories that Priest started since he took over the World's Deadliest Assassin. Reveals, talks about what makes us good or evil, the past and people's own agendas are coming into play as this thriller of a comic spirals out of control! While not everyone can be seen or spotted, Deathstroke maintains a consistent voice and tone as a comic that's more about the characters first, and the heroic and villainous world they live in second.

Hopefully, more context will come by the end of the arc. What always gets me about this series is that I don't mind how scattered it is; all of those issues listed above should affect my appreciation of the book, but I still find myself compelled and curious due to the dialogue, pacing, and artwork.

Deathstroke by Christopher Priest, Diogenes Neves, and Jason Paz continues to be one of the top 10 comic books currently published. If you're not reading it, why the hell not? It's intelligent, thoughtful, action-packed, fast-paced, fun and funny. Buy this damn book! Read Full Review

As always with this comic, Diogenes Neves and Jason Paz tell a clean story between flashbacks that connect well between the past and present segments occurring here in Slades life. Jeromy Coxs colors also help in keeping things vibrant, especially with the myriad cast at work here. That being said: the globe-spanning story here is finally beginning to come together, anyone that wants to see what the opposite of redemption is wont be disappointed here. Read Full Review

I thought Deathstroke #28 was a decent read. There are moments where the story jumps around a bit though, but that's due to all of the supporting characters that are in Slade's world. Although we didn't see Defiance in action in this issue, hopefully we will in the next one. With Slade still missing I'm wondering how will the team hold up with no real leadership for them currently. Read Full Review

With a couple issues and an Annual left in this storyline, Priest puts some more pieces on the playing board and gets things set up for a big finale.  The art is great here, but the issue kind of stalls doing the legwork needed to go forward.  Not a bad issue, just not as great as what I've come to expect and figure we will get from here on out.  Read Full Review

There are good moments throughout, but the issue meanders and never quite reaches a fitting end point, even as just another chapter in this drawn-out story. Read Full Review

Deathstroke's solo (and Defiance) run so far was one of the very most consistent series in DC's Rebirth. This issue is not an exception, and continues to explore the lives of Slade and people close to him in a mature, complex and realistic way, which I adore since the first issue.

Terra is definitely one of characters that deserve more depth, since her only big appearance in comics that left a mark was The Judas Contract, where she was portrayed as a cold one dimensional sociopath with no redeeming qualities (that particular story wasn't too kind for Deathstroke either, and definitely didn't age well overall). Having an issue where she has her 5 minutes being just a normal human being (well, a superpowered one, that is) was a very nice choice I truly welcome.

However, due to amount of overlaping side stories and retrospections on top of them, the issue may be a bit difficult to follow - granted, Deathstroke was never a straight forward series and demanded more attention from readers than simplistic hero vs villain stories.
That, normally, would encourage me to read it again to fully understand and comprehend everything, but I don't think the story and the way it was delievred were outstanding enough to do so. I'm definitely going to grap the next issue when it comes out, though. That's for sure. more

A rare misfire by Priest. The Chinatown stuff is still confusing. And the Terra stuff is not as good as it should be.
