I used to read this when I didn't know what Wildstorm was yet

This is my first time reading this particular run since all I've read is early Wildstorm and then the later Ellis stuff.

>>93961847
Ooooh shit. Hey OP this is one of my favourite books. This beautiful subversive dark humor runs through it, and the ending...

It's a kick alright, but I gotta say I like the deluxe edition's collection

I wanna post the review that made me check out this book, from "the factual opinion". I'll hide the final bit since it spoilers the ending.

>Deathblow's probably the only Wildstorm comic that will ever carry an afterword from a Northwestern professor, and while that doesn't mean anything that isn't subjective and elitist, it does point to a comic that had more going on it than it was given credit for at the time. That feeling is absolutely correct. Less in the mold of any super-hero story on the stands, something more akin to David Rees Get Your War On and Kyle Baker's Special Forces, Azzarello's Deathblow was hilarious, irreverent to an almost perverse degree, and packed full of the sort of hyper black criticism mostly relegated to a Youtube video's comment page. There's no punches pulled--when Azzarello tires of paying homage to the Twin Towers by using the stripes down Deathblow's face, he has the character paint a monument to 9/11 with the entrails of children in his apartment, only for a jihadist terrorist from an organization known as The Hidden Extreme Militia--T.H.E.M.--to let him know he doesn't need to feel guilty. After all, those weren't children at all: "Johnny was fifty-two years old. Martha was forty-seven", products of "creepy experiements." It shouldn't go ignored thought that the story relies on a good bit of it's "facts" by placing them in the mouths of actual shaggy dogs--this isn't a comic that tries to hide the gag, it plays with both hands showing. It is, after all, the story of U.S. versus T.H.E.M. Every criticism of post 9/11 America gets a chance to play itself out, and while political theorizing rarely--if ever--makes for a comic book that's even remotely tolerable to read, Deathblow succeeds, in part because it never slows down or tries to educate. It's just nasty hyperbole, crazed metaphor mixed with raw, disgusting violence that never tries to be "realistic."

>Here are characters that punch torturers so hard their mouth and lips go flying, here are Osama bin Laden cyborgs crossed with dinosaurs, here are lazer eyed sewer rats as cannon fodder, here be monsters, here be America. What's even more delightful at the close is the possible joke that Azzarello plays on the reader-and to some extent, the publisher, who by the final issue had already realized that the Wildstorm revamp had failed: Deathblow, in his final act, [ spoiler] sets off the Big One, right in the middle of New York. And all of a sudden, the Wildstorm universe becomes the competition, and Spider-man, The Wasp, & the Thing are walking the streets. Sandman's on the radio. The time of Marvels was upon us. We just needed a soldier to kill an imprint to do it. [ /spoiler]

Very nice stuff.
I am enjoying this run.

Gotta say though, being an agent of god in the previous run got me going a lot more.
WOO
