Daily Comic: Deathstroke #1

After many bad reviews and a little over a year I've finally decided to check out Death Stroke's new ongoing series in new 52. I've only read the first issue at this point but most of what i gather from it is probably going to be mediocre at best. It follows death stroke on his mercenary missions. Issue 1 setups a this idea that people think Slade has lost a step he is given a mission with a group of teenage "up and comers". While they track down and assassinate a German scientist who is supposedly moving weapons. Death stroke and the team proceed to high jack his play and soon find out its biological weapons with little effort Slade destroys them at and blows up the plane. Then returning home Slade proceeds to kill the team of young mercenary's and set out to make sure people will still fear him and his skills. Overall this issue was fairly weak just kind of what you'd expect with Death stroke violence and a big ego. The book doesn't do much to go deeper into Slade Wilson's psyche and really doesn't leave you wanting more. The art work is pretty standard not bad but not the best I have seen. Overall I give it a 6/10 will i continue reading maybe but chances are i rather spend my time reading another book that DC has to offer.
