Exploding from the pages of the DC Universe Rebirth event, this stunning new chapter unites legendary writer Christopher Priest with an all-star team of artists, including Carlo Pagulayan (BATMAN AND ROBIN ETERNAL), Cary Nord (Daredevil), Denys Cowan (THE QUESTION) and Bill Sienkiewicz (Daredevil). Slade Wilson is a man without a familyÉand without a purpose. Now he must pick up the pieces of his shattered life and fight to regain the killerÕs edge. To do it, heÕll test his mettle against the Man of Steel himself-Superman, whoÕs been tasked with taking him down. HeÕll journey back into the past, to the first mission he and his old ally Wintergreen ever worked on together. HeÕll take to the streets of Chicago, where a series of murders brings him face-to-face with the madcap hero called the Creeper. And heÕll navigate a menagerie of mercenaries, from Red Lion to Raptor. HeÕll even power through the pain with the help of Power Girl. Will Wilson pull himself together? Or has Deathstroke reached his point of termination? Find out in DEATHSTROKE VOL. 2: THE GOSPEL OF SLADE! Collects issues #6-11, including the critically acclaimed story ÒChicago.Ó

This is a very direct continuation of the first volume, and it definitely helps clear up some confusing bits from that one. Priest‘s somewhat elliptical storytelling remains a really good choice for a series of dense thrillers, though I continue to be underwhelmed by the interior art, particularly with regards to the action. Still, ambitious and mean in a way mainstream comics rarely are. I‘m enjoying it.
