Deathstroke has reached the end of the gauntlet on the road to save his daughter, but after battling everyone from the Suicide Squad to Red Hood, will he be able to save himself? 
As Ra’s al Ghul and Lawman enter the fray, Slade Wilson’s life will never be the same…
Deathstroke is include in the "theme" variant covers this month. The image below is by John Romita JR.


This "Lawman" character is new to me and seems like a strange fit for The League of Assassins but maybe the story explains things. We'll see.

Meanwhile, in a setting very familiar to one Slade Wilson....
GREEN ARROW #51

On sale APRIL 6 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED T

In war-torn Africa, Green Arrow and Deathstroke are both hunting for the same man—Doctor Miracle—whose blood cures any disease. They’re battling not only each other, but also a militant group known as The Whites. There is no deadlier foe than the world’s greatest assassin, and against his blade Green Arrow may have met his end.
Hopefully that team-up (or battle) continues for a few more issues.
