February 2018 Deathstroke Solication

There's always a moment of incredulity when the Deathstroke solicitations are made available. Christopher Priest is amazing at somehow taking Deathstroke in all sorts of new places while remaining true to the character. One of these days, his name will not be attached to this title and it will be devastating.

And with that, let's check out the solicitation for #28, due for February.

DEATHSTROKE #28
Written by CHRISTOPHER PRIEST
Art by DIOGENES NEVES and TREVOR SCOTT
Cover by RYAN SOOK
Variant cover by SHANE DAVIS and MICHELLE DELECKI 

“Chinatown” part one! In the aftermath of the shocking events of this year’s Deathstroke Annual, Slade finds himself at a crossroads as his ad hoc “Dark Titans” team dissolves and even Wintergreen finally abandons him. Slade begins a turbulent backslide to his old ways, bringing him face to face with China’s New Super-Man! 

On sale FEBRUARY 7 • 32 pg, FC, $3.99 US • RATED T+

This super-Man looks to be getting a bit of a push (to use a wrestling term) that month as his own book gets re-titled and becomes a team book. Cool to see Deathstroke as part of the process.
