Its hard not to compare to Priest's book, but this start feels very much like the beginning of his Flash run, the end made the entire run better. I hope the same thing happens with Deathstroke

I'm captivated by the mysteries presented in this issue. I think it's pretty easy to stay on the edge of your seat until the next issue comes out! What do you look forward to seeing in future issues? Did you think anything was missing from this one? Drop a comment below! Read Full Review
The issue doesn't waste a moment setting up the various personalities of the characters and letting them shine in the issue. It also does an excellent job of setting up the plot to come and the mystery being dangled in front of us. A fantastic issue that's a must see. Read Full Review
The story here moves fast and can feel a little thin, but it really doesn't matter because this is some of the best work of Howard Porter's career. Read Full Review
Deathstroke isnt the meatiest book on the stands, but its got a throwback feel with unrestrained and unpredictable action. Read Full Review
While not a plot-heavy issue, Deathstroke Inc. #2brings with it plenty of action and wit to make for a fun read. Of course, it'll be nice to see a more extensive, overarching plot added to the series, and I'm sure what Hiro discovers in this issue will likely play a prominent role in that. Still, for now, Deathstroke Inc.carries itself mainly based on its fun dialogue and terrific artwork. Read Full Review
There's not much new to be discovered in the sophomore outing, however, as Hank Henshaw and The Weird's designs lack updates or new contributions to the conspiracy behind this oddball trio. It's still an intriguing arrangement, but also one that requires more than a new villain and placement to maintain momentum month after month. Read Full Review
Its a super fun action packed book, Deathstroke and his team doing some cool shit, just that, nothing more
Another fun entry into what should be one of DC’s more unique titles this year. There’s just something so creative about Deathstroke in space, and that’s what I love about this book: its creativity.
I appreciate the fact that since the comic takes place in space, the art work feels really open and gigantic. Besides that, not much to say. Fun to see Deathstroke with a lightsaber.
Williamson has so many books at DC on his hands that I knew he was bound to slip somewhere and I think this book is that. This is just Porter's book basically, he's playing with all sorts of crazy stuff. It's not bad but it's not very good either. Still I appreciate the fun element to it but I can't help but compare it to Priest's book and the comparison doesn't help this book at all.
This is fine, I guess. On one hand, I don't really like when issues consist of only double page splashes. It's a really easy way to tell a story that can't manage a whole issue. On the other, would I have wanted to read a full length issue of *this*? No.
