Deathstroke June 2019 solicitations

Looks like just one book in June but it should be an interesting one.


DEATHSTROKE #44
Written by CHRISTOPHER PRIEST
Art by FERNANDO PASARIN
Cover by GIUSEPPE CAMUNCOLI and CAM SMITH
Variant cover by RICCARDO FEDERICI 
“DEATHSTROKE: RIP” starts here! 
Deathstroke is dead, secretly killed at the hands of a Teen Titan. As Slade’s closest friends, enemies and frenemies pay their respects (and disrespects) to the World’s Deadliest Assassin, some uninvited guests crash the event—the Legion of Doom! But what do they want with the body of the most lethal man on the planet? And will anyone find out who killed him? A brand-new storyline begins here…with an ending you won’t see coming! 
ON SALE 06.05.19
$3.99 US | 32 PAGES

It's amusing to see comics news sites refer to a "spoiler" about Deathstroke's death in the solicitation. For one thing, it was quite clear from last month's solicitations that Robin had apparently killed Deathstroke at the end of the crossover with the Titans. For another, I think by now we all know that comics deaths are rather...temporary.

That said, I'm looking forward to seeing what Christopher Priest does with it. He's one of few writers that I trust to make a promise of "and ending you won't see coming" stick.
