Note: More incorrect solicitation material. There is no "secret origin" in this book. For that matter, as the title suggests, Deathstroke spends most of his face time possessed by Eclipso. The closest thing we come to a secret origin is that the story takes place a few years in the past.

Letters: Taylor Esposito
The most accomplished cape-killer in the world gets the chance to add to his legacy when Deathstroke comes face to face with his daughter Rose and The Ravagers!
Notes: And he doesn't squander the opportunity!
The Ravagers as such don't actually appear, but Terra does, as does Grant Wilson.
Speaking of The Ravagers, in terms of reading order, one would be best to take in the end of the Team 7 and Ravagers books before diving into the last two issues of this volume of Deathstroke.
Also, the cover is incorrectly credited to Aaron Kuder in the original solicitation. I've corrected the information above.
