Synopsis

THE WORLD'S DEADLIEST ASSASSIN HITS THE NEXT LEVEL WITH TONY FLEECS AND CARMINE DI GIANDOMENICO. Soldier-turned-superhuman assassin for hire Slade Wilson has made hundreds of enemies in his day, and now one of them is taking his world apart piece by piece. The hit is out on Deathstroke as he evolves into his purest form... a terminator out for revenge and ready to kill anyone who stands in his way. Prepare for brutal violence with over-the-top action and intrigue from the twisted mind of writer Tony Fleecs (Stray Dogs, Uncanny Valley) with pulse-pounding art by Carmine Di Giandomenico (Flash). DC’s contract killing bogeyman is back and bloodier than ever!
