“The Terminus Agenda” finale! 

It’s code red for the Teen Titans as their plan to capture and imprison Deathstroke has backfired in the worst possible way. Mercy Hall is on lockdown, and all the super-villains have escaped their cells! 

As the villains team up to take down their captors, Deathstroke makes one final attempt at “fixing” Damian—will Damian finally abandon Batman’s code to save his friends from certain death?

Strangely enough, the regular cover for the book seems to be a little tricky to find among solicitation listed on the major comics sites. Bleeding Cool displayed the page from the Previews catalogue though so I share that here since it's as good a version of it as I've come across.

But get a closer look at Clayton Crain's variant for this book. Damn!

It's not clear whether Deathstroke show up in the epilogue that takes place in Teen Titans #30. It doesn't sound like it, as that issue appears to me more geared towards blow back to Damian's actions in the Deathstroke issue. The cover alone makes that quite clear.

If writer Christopher Priest continues as he has, I suspect we'll get another 5-6 part story following starting in June with Slade's world properly shaken up as a result of this one's conclusion. Dude doesn't mess around!

Nice change, it appears as though the variant covers are being revealed ahead of time. That Mattina one is a thing of beauty, too.

Sounds like a blast!

It also sounds like Christopher Priest is hanging around for the foreseeable future. I have no reason to think otherwise but he has done such a marvelous job with this character that I dread the day he leaves him so I'm always on watch for some sign that he will.

Unlike the Lazarus Contract story from a couple of years ago, it doesn't appear that the other Titans team (the non-teen one) will be involved in this one. That's too bad because Deathstroke truly does not have much history with this Teen team. he's certainly built some with Damian Wayne at a rapid pace, as well, as kid Flash, but I don't believe he's had any interaction with the other members.

Also, I thought Slade Wilson's identity as Deathstroke was public anyway so I'm not sure what Gordon is actually revealing to anyone.  But then, maybe one of the great many universal reboots at DC has done away with all that. Who can keep track anymore?
