It's here, and it's pretty darn Liefeldy.

I thought it was going be much worse. I will probably check it out . The pole look goods

So the decision is made, then? That is to say, we've made the decision? No more discussion, because we've all agreed to the decision? Alright, gentlemen, I'm glad to say that the decision has been made. We'll all be happier now that we've made the decision.

Made. Decision. Made. Made. Made.

the art is
wow

the boss has one of the worst cases of Young Blood's disease i have ever seen

the background of the first pages is ridiculous, i mean, i suppose its smoke coming out of the cigar the no-eyes boss is smoking but come on, the full room is full with smoke, is more like the room had a fire on it

or look at this

the 3rd panel upper right, why is Deathstroke holding a portrait?
look at the frame, is not a picture is a portrait, like the ones you put on your house, it didnt need the frame

or look at the headstones in the background of the first panel and also 3rd panel of page 2
their position is just off, too close to each other, almost one on top of the other one

also
why did Deathstroke needed to take off his pants to "armor up"?
He was wearing completely different pants at the start of the comic
i can accept the trenchcoat, but why the pants?
his helmet came out of nowhere

now the writing is
i dont know, I cant fairly judge it without looking at the rest of the comic, its just well set up i guess, is just some shadowy organization of ppl in poorly lighted rooms wanting to kill deathstroke and deathstroke tells his backstory which i honestly cannot recall any of this from higins run
then Fight scene

Ugh. Guess I'm done with Deathstroke.

Slade looks like bad Cable and some of those panels are terrible. The muscles are as realistic as something completely unrealistic and the monologue is crap and Slade's arm bends in teh wrong way when it hits someone with a stick behind him. So, good for Liefeld.

Heh, I didn't actually spot that first time (I was still vomiting from the dialogue) - that's frickin' hilarious.

Man, I really feel for the guys still reading this book. And Hawkman. And Grifter.

Yep

. Th only reason im not dropping Hawkman too is because i really like Hawkman and think he should have a book.

I'm actually happy that he made Deathstroke's costume far less bulky. The ridiculous shoulder pads are gone and the mask is far less Iron Man-like. I really don't see how Liefeld could make this book any worse than it already was.
