The pirate Deathstroke is one step closer to finding his missing daughter, but first he needs to figure out exactly who--or what--is Jenny Blitz. The death toll rises as Deathstroke's journey nears its end!
I've long enjoyed Deathstroke as a character and really liked the way he was utilized in the Flashpoint world as it's one that makes sense for him as a character, both in action and motivation. While the primary drive of finding Rose is a solid one, it's more the setting that worked for me in seeing him captaining a large ship, building an intriguing crew around him (poor Clayface!) and even finding himself some action with the opposite sex in the middle of it all. This issue does wrap things up well enough for the tale and while it largely stands apart from the core storyline, it's the kind of great little side story that doesn't impact things but gives us a glimpse into a big dose of what if in a great way. It's a guilty pleasure book to be sure and one that I definitely liked. Read Full Review
That being said, this was a fun read that paves the way for an ongoing Deathstroke book. Whether this series will actually have any bearing on how Deathstroke is portrayed in his new book is doubtful, but hopefully that series will at least retain some of the more lighthearted qualities seen here.
