It's part five of "Batman vs. Deathstroke," and "The Stormy Present" finds our two marquee combatants locked in the Batcave, forced to resolve their differences-or die trying! The showdown only turns saltier when the feds seize Bruce Wayne's assets, including Wayne Manor, after Slade drops a dime. And Deathstroke shows Batman he's not the only detective in town, as Slade closes in on the mystery of his relationship with Robin.
Next month is the finale, and I have to say right now that I don't know how this creative team is going to top this issue. Read Full Review
Deathstroke #34 was a great read and an enjoyment from start to finish. Priest gives you drama, action and the suspense of who could be manipulating two of the world's greatest hand to hand fighters. Read Full Review
All in all, this is one of the stronger chapters in an already great story arc. There are the emotional beats of Wilsons flashbacks to his son fighting for his life after his throat was slit, and Bruce having to tell Damian to back off, and then there is the crazy Batcave fight that just might go down in history as one of the best Batman fights of all time. You couldnt ask for more from a Batman vs Deathstroke story, and you shouldnt get it if you did. These two characters are so similar, and yet so different, and Priest is mining that for all its worth. If youre not reading this story already, youre missing out. Any comic fan would enjoy it.

There's one more issue of this madness. I can't wait to see how it wraps up. It's very fun and well done. Read Full Review
Never thought I'd say this, even with a Priest story, but I think I'm taking the verbal punches between Deathstroke and Batman in this one. They just get downright frigin dirty with each other and hold nothing back. Read Full Review
I'm excited to see how this story comes to a close, and glad to see that Priest is continuing on Deathstroke past this arc. It continues to be one of the best books DC is putting out. Read Full Review
The art team continues to be absolutely stunning in their execution. Read Full Review
Deathstroke #34 is the showdown Ive been waiting for, and the fight delivers in spades. More than half of the comic is Slade Wilson and Bruce Wayne trying to kill each other, and the art team of Pagulayan, Scott, Paz, and Cox do some gorgeous work here. This comic comes highly recommended. Give it a read. Read Full Review
Priest and Pagulayan powerfully set up the finale of the Deathstroke vs. Batman arc with pounding action and devastating mind games. Read Full Review
This story is all set up for a truly explosive ending next month. Read Full Review
Deathstroke vs Batman is getting near the end and I am loving the ride even though at times, it feels like we are driving way under the speed limit. What we don't get in overall progression and answers, we get in kick-ass action and great dialogue. That, and the great art makes this an easy series to recommend...which I am doing right now.

A frustrating exercise, Deathstroke is a dense book that doesn't have much actual depth. There are a lot of ideas here– some of them genuinely interesting– but they have yet to coalesce into anything that's very engaging. I like the look of this book quite a bit, as its visuals are really slick and the ending fight is well-composed. It's the story that keeps losing me, and no amount of great pencils and colors can save that. Read Full Review
this is basically "the roast of"
slade and bruce trying to figure out who's the worst dad by swearing while they fight.
is also the best fight ever made between the two characters
This was the best issue in the arc so far. This issue had family drama, amazing fight scenes and some great detective work. Batman and Deathstroke have used all of their skills to get the drop on each other. The similarities between the two has never been as noticeable than in this issue. I imagine that the conclusion to this arc will be epic.
The artwork in this comic was excellent. I really like the dark outlining. Everything was crisp and vibrant.
There's nothing bad I can say about this comic. It was really enjoyable. Some of the previous comics in this arc had too much dialog; thankfully it was dialed down in this issue. I can't wait for the conclusion.
Out of all issues from the crossover event, this one seems to be the most straight-forward one, and I like it. There's a solid explanation of how Deathstroke found the Bat Cave, and of course, a solid part of the comic id dedicated solely to brutal, raw fight between Slade and Bruce.
Overall great issue, can't wait for the conclusion.
This series needs to get back to main story arc, instead of fishing for sales numbers.
I grow ever more weary of this comic and this plot line. I don't understand what is happening or why it is happening. Is Deathstroke the stupidest person in the world? Am I, for continuing to read this?
