Missed Solicitations

How the hell did I not see this?

The following book was very much included in the September solicitations for DC but perhaps the cover was not included at the time and I overlooked Deathstroke's name. In any event, Deathstroke will be a major player in the Superman book that comes out on September 20th.

"BREAKING POINT" part one. 

Lois Lane is after the interview of a lifetime. The subject of her Daily Planet article... Deathstroke the Terminator. 

Determined to get "inside the mind of a killer", Lois follows a trail of bodies across the globe and comes face to face with the ultimate assassin. But the encounter turns deadly and, with Superman half a world away, the interview of a lifetime could cost Lois Lane her life!

Deathstroke will apparently also be in issue 32, the variant cover to which was revealed on Bleeding Cool recently.

It is said to be by Ian Churchill, but I believe that is incorrect. It looks like Tyler Kirkham, who worked on Deathstroke a fair amount towards the end of Volume Three.

Now evidently plans changed along the way as the solicitation text makes reference to a story called "Imperius Lex". Unless Breaking Point is actually a one-off, but then the cover above wouldn't be for #32 but rather for #31. I guess we'll just wait it out.

That done, let's throw down DC's November offering for the Deathstroke series.
