Now if only someone would hand Percy a map of western Washington so he doesn't have Oliver walk 45 miles barefoot.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021943379915718040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-5345318045206030552016-08-17T19:27:37.860-07:002016-08-17T19:27:37.860-07:00Deathstroke is the only DC Rebirth comic I'm r...Deathstroke is the only DC Rebirth comic I'm reading, based on the skill and talent of Christopher Priest alone getting me interested.

It's nearly all riffs on classic 80s Deathstroke stories. The first few issues by Kyle Higgins do a decent job of reestablishing the "Deathstroke has a son called Ravager who got killed" backstory. Then they begin introducing other elements, like Deathstroke's ex-wife and his son Jericho. This culminates in the final issues, which feature a bad riff on the "Judas Contract."<br /><br />There was also an odd take on the Omega Men in the middle (telling bad riffs on classic Marv Wolfman stories seemed to be Rob Liefeld's trademark when he was writing the New 52). I don't know how it could possibly share continuity with the recent Omega Men series.<br />Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15661002375460378958noreply@blogger.com
