Issue 17 Variant Cover by Shane Davis!
I was so preoccupied with looking for Deathstroke in other DC Comics that it escaped my notice that only one issue of the man's own title is schedule in June. It would seem that he title is no longer being released twice a month but hey, what I've read if the current series is so damn good that I'm grateful for getting that much material for most of the past year.

Upcoming Collections
The early peek at the June solicitations reminded me to have a look at Amazon for books available for pre-order and sure enough, there are a couple on the way beginning with, unsurprisingly, the third book of the current series.
Meanwhile, reprinting of Deathstroke's first series continues with the World Tour story being made available next March.
Fun story. They are using the cover to issue 27 for it remains to be seen whether that's going to last. I would think the reference to 1993 will disappear. We'll find out some time in the next year.
Deathstroke Vol. 3: Twilight (Rebirth)
What happens when the World's Deadliest Assassin begins to go blind? Faced with a potentially career-ending diagnosis, Deathstroke is coached by Power Girl to reinvent himself--and comes face to face with a rival assassin known as Deadline! But he might not be able to face this villain until he unearths a way to cure his own weaknesses.
Written by Christopher Priest (Black Panther) and featuring stunning illustrations by special guest artist Cary Nord, this game-changing volume collects DEATHSTROKE #12-17.This one is fresh enough that there is not even a tentative cover available for it yet. It is scheduled for October of this year. That's kind of good because volume two is only due for July, which seems pretty damn far away.
Meanwhile, reprinting of Deathstroke's first series continues with the World Tour story being made available next March.
Deathstroke The Terminator: Vol. 4
Deathstroke, the breakout villain from the 1980s sensation THE NEW TEEN TITANS and current star of the hit TV series Arrow stars in his own graphic novel series! In these stories, hunted by the CIA and the Teen Titans, Deathstroke is in trouble!
From writer Marv Wolfman (THE NEW TEEN TITANS) this graphic novel collects DEATHSTROKE THE TERMINATOR#27-34 and DEATHSTROKE THE TERMINATOR ANNUAL #2.
Fun story. They are using the cover to issue 27 for it remains to be seen whether that's going to last. I would think the reference to 1993 will disappear. We'll find out some time in the next year.
Early Look at June Solicitations: Deathstroke 20
DC Comics provided Comic Book Resources with a preview of their June material in the form of the Titans titles. The Lazarus Contract has run through May and the ripple effect if felt through Titans, Teen Titans and, of course, Deathstroke.
Dude can't get a break...
So a threat years in the making. Is Priest digging into past material again or will he back fill Slade's military days, as so many have done? My initial thought was Pat Trayce again since she was referred to in the early issues of the series. And it's not like Slade has a whole lot of friends. Bronze Tiger was treated as such, for the most part, in volume three by I get the sense that entire series is being scuttled. Looking forward to finding out.
The Titans titles don't seem to include Deathstroke at all however if other book do in June I'll add them here.
