Ratings and reviews

High praise! First off this comic book is awesome! I give it A+ because the buildup the setting the characters to the conflict and espionage James Bond type stuff was awesome. I really loved it! I like the fact they included Batman in it and I look forward to the next volume two of Deathstroke rebirth. It's also great to see Slade thrown off his regular game so to speak. Also great to hear from Hosun, The Ravanger, Wintergreen, Rax and Ja zaki the red lion. The only part where it slowed is when Batman came into the picture like the issues with his physically in the comic book
