Slade Wilson would move heaven and Earth to get his daughter back—and not even LexCorp will stand in his way! But after barely surviving a tussle with the Suicide Squad, how can a battle-ravaged Deathstroke take on Lex Luthor’s forces?

Bonny had been named as co-writer for a few months but now gets sole billing. For DC, he's also worked on The Savage Hawkman before Rob Liefeld took over that book. Tony Daniels is no longer involved with Deathstroke, at least for this issue.

Interesting, seems Rose will continue to appear in the book, even if she sounds like something of a victim.

Strange variant theme this month; colouring book style. That's it below.

A Little Ravager Art from Secret Origins #7

Just a brief post today. I was again filling some gaps on the (New)(Teen) Titans, Volume 1 and Rose Wilson pages and came across an image I thought I should share, in case some people missed it.

The art below is by Robson Rocha (pencils), Oclair Albert (inks) and Mike Atiyeh (colour). As stated in the subject line, it is copied from issue #7 of Secret Origins, which came out late last November.

One of the three back-filling stories included in the book continues Superboy's habit of whining about who he really is, his purpose for being created, etc. Since the delightful Rose Wilson was a supporting character for much of his ongoing series, she makes a cameo appearance in flashback form.

Saying that she wanted to "help" might be quite kind, if my memory is sound, but that's neither here nor there...

Too bad Rose wasn't used a bit more in this story. However, one of the (many) frustrating things about the Superboy series was that Rose's appearances were often limited to about a page an issue, if that. So while her inclusion in SO7 is not at all impactful, it's at least appropriate in its brevity.
