review:
'Deathstroke #1' by Christopher Priest with art by Carlo Pagulyan is not be confused with 'Deathstroke: Rebirth #1' by the same team, but having two number 1 issues debut so close together with pretty much the same title is a bit on the confusing side.

This issue does closely follow after teh other one, but it feels like we missed something in the meantime. Slade was finishing a mission and starting another one. Now it's and one of his friends has shown up. Also, the word Kenilworth shows up along with some more flashbacks. The back story begins to make a bit more sense, but the forward momentum seems disjointed.

I like the art. I want to like the story. I think I need a bigger picture. More importantly, I'd like a less fragmented story. In a story arc, this all might begin to make sense. Here it's just confusing so far.

I received a review copy of this issue from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this comic book.
