This is the perfect comic book issue. The action is amazing, the drama hits the heart strings and the story and art are 100%. If this is how the “New Age of DC Heroes” will be, then the future is bright. A+++++ Read Full Review

SILENCER #5 is a roller coaster ride of tension, suspense, and betrayal. Dan Abnett has written a story that will leave you hanging on the edge of your seat. The artwork by Viktor Bogdanovic completely blew me away. SILENCER #5 is, by far, a must read! Read Full Review

Another strong issue. The dialogue between Deathstroke and Silencer is the highlight along with the double-crossing dynamic with Talia. Read Full Review

All in all, this isn't bad. It's tough to create a new character you care about but Abnett makes it look easy. There's a lot of good writing here and artwork. I'll continue to read this title and see it where it goes as it's intrigued me enough. Read Full Review

Great tension and action in this issue and insight into the character. Read Full Review

The tension and excitement of The Silencer keeps getting better. Even an issue of mostly back-and-forth dialogue is pretty darn exciting! Read Full Review

With Honor Guest finding out that she can trust no one, what will she do? The very person she trusted to get her out of the assassination world may have been the one to sell her straight back into it. Deathstroke promises her this: next time they meet, talking is off the table. This series is well-written and paced. I'm enjoying it thoroughly. Read Full Review

The Silencer stays on target and continues to be an impressive new addition to the DC ranks. Read Full Review

Five issues in, it feels like The Silencer is finding its groove as one of the most compelling and entertaining of the new characters introduced in the New Age of DC Heroes. Read Full Review

The Silencer has been a wonderful comic book to read and collect. The storyline has been very consistent with great action panels. For the character Honor, one can only imagine how she'll manage to keep her retired life in place while everyone she's ever known wants her back in action. Read Full Review

The story slows down a tad but it's still enjoyable. There are some much-needed plot developments that happen here which make the story seem a bit fresher, and the art is still going strong with the new art team. Read Full Review

"The Silencer" has all the pieces to be an engaging hitwoman saga in the DCU it just isn't coming together yet. Read Full Review

It's very 1990s, but in a good way. Read Full Review

This might be the coolest comic DC is putting out right now. It honestly feels like something they would have done back in the 80's or 90's. It's a mixture of film noir, high octane action, interesting mystery, little bit of cyberpunk here and there it's all worked incredibly well so far. Count me in

Silencer is getting only better. Her series, after finding its own identity, is able to pull off a real crime drama with rich backstory and plenty of small twists. Having Deathstroke is always welcomed in my book, and Talia, contrary to her portrayal in Batman's comics, is way more than just middle eastern assassin - she's truly her father's daughter, pulling the strings from the shadows and being one mysterious and terryfying frienemy of Honor.
That's what you call a good fresh blood in the world of comic. Silencer surely has my attention.

This was good drama building with using 2 A-List DCU characters in Slade and Talia. NIT: The censoring of the curse words is a bit jarring failingly trying to figure out what word could possibly fit with that number of letters.

This issue brings us full circle to the beginning of issue #1.

Deathstroke confronts Silencer and gives her some food for thought as she tries her best to protect her life. But Talia's meddling and manipulation are only making thigs worse for Honor.

Dan Abnett gives us a good story with interesting characters while Viktor Bogdanovic provides excellent art.
I think that of all the books form New Age of Heroes, Silencer and Terrifics have the best chance to stay for a long time.
