Deathstroke #23 Storytime

>>95144482
Slade is the best mentor

>>95144536
Lmao . Also why is Wally so much better here?

Can't wait for more Terra shenanigans. Thanks bro.

>>95144567
Yooo Priest bringing in fro Joey?! Best hair style!

>>95144605
Amazing. I love this book.

>>95144552
Is Terra a literal whore?

>>95144620
>tfw Joey will never not suffer

Best boy doesn't deserve this

>>95144642
Joey is a surprisingly good leader. Better than Dick and Damian

>>95144552
So they made her a prostitute in Rebirth? Lame. She was fine as just a crazy slut.

>>95144482
Looks like Terra skipped class.

>>95144605
They actually kept n52 TT canon. Love it.

>>95144620
Wait why would she hate him being with a woman?????

>>95144691
It was always canon. Damian even brings it up when making a new team. They also went to Tim's funeral

>>95144501
Slade pls stop bullying Rose

>>95144693
Maybe she's like Isherwood and thinks he's gay

Or she doesn't like another woman being close to her babby

>>95144677
Gay ?

Getting stabbed in your own training session s a sign that your overdoing it.

>>95144716
>>95144720
I've heard of this actually. Women who prefer a gay son so that they stay the number one woman in their life. It sounds pathetic but makes sense

>>95144722

Why can't all books handle diversity like this? This is good

>>95144693
Maybe she wanted a gay son

>>95144605
Rose get her cherry popped?

>>95144742
I seriously dislike the art. The last panel with his mother would have been touching if Adline didn't look terrible.

>>95144747
>>95144716

Fuck off and die in the streets you terrorist whore.

>>95144385
My fave comic, thank you, Anon!

>>95144677
I'm impressed by him so far. He's usually written as insane so him being a good leader is a pleasant surprise.
>>95144688
Terra is making a lot of good points here.

>>95144722
Is Slade paying his team?

>>95144780
Mortal Kombat?

>>95144620
Did Grant and Slade really have that relationship? He treated him like dirt.

>>95144881
He treated Grant like dirt but he treated Joey worse.

>>95144842
He is doing a great job. The characters in this book are written better here than the awful titan books.

All Batfamily characters suck besides Alfred. Dick and Damian.

>>95144501
Is Rose Hmong? Is this the first time that's been mentioned?

>>95144897

Shit I even like Black Wally here. Also Powergirl is best black girl teen genius

>>95144890
How? This the first I read Deathstorke so I genuinely don't know and he seemed harsher with Grant.

>>95144854
Just swallow a thumbtack and fucking DIE already. You're a useless whore who only learns English by parroting the most toxic fanbase on the internet.

>>95144552
THE WHOOAAAARRRR

>>95144915
It's seriously getting annoying how much he keep mention it.

>>95144706
Artist does a nice job drawing wet hair

>>95144642
It's shame that the defiance are going to break up soon. They are the best team along with the outlaws.

>>95144890
I mean he just ignored Joey desu.

>>95144890
Other than the part where Joey got his throat slit Slade seemed the treat Grant worse though.

Though maybe Priest will get more into it because I think he implied Slade was more neglectful than physically abusve like he was to Grant

>>95144952
Dude, just ignore her or keep reporting her.

>>95145019
That what I think. He treated Grant worse and ignored Joey.

>>95145031
I believe we've reported that cunt a dozen times per storytime already, seems rather ineffective.

God I don't even fucking browse those shitty namefag forums, why can't that mongoloid cunt ever fiure that one out.

>>95145031
Report and ignore him too

>>95145064
Trust me, I understand your frustration because Damifag screw up every thread she is in and the mods have been useless.

The best thing to do is ignoring her and stop paying her any attention.

>Deathstroke is my fav antihero
>Miss 22 stories around him
Goddamnit, it looks like his writing is actually good here as well

>>95144780
Scorpion!

>>95145088
Lol.that is Jasonfag? Christ, you people are delusional.

>>95145159
anon, deathstroke is the best current book from the big two

>>95144521
Is this a new record for editor's notes on one page of a Deathstroke issue?

>>95145159
Hurry and read the rest
Buy the trades

>>95144443
Did they reuse the art here from rebirth? I know the dialogue is a throw back.

Deathstroke continues being the best DC book. You rock Priest.

>>95145295
No, this is an abridged version of two pages from the Rebirth issue.

Who feels like translating this shit?

>>95144897
When this arc was first announced, I thought that Team Defiance was going to be dysfunctional but it turns out that they have better teamwork and leadership than their heroic counterparts.

Priest is doing a great job.

>>95144536
wtf I love Blally now

>>95145486
I'm glad he's getting his own identity.

>>95145524
He's leaving the book next issue I think.

Adeline's getting blacked by her new husband, what a silly argument to try to make.

>>95144742
Joeys life sucks lmao

>>95145471
Team books are generally bad examples of teamwork, leadership, cohesion, friendship. They're mostly just there to serve a section of fans who need "iconic" teams to be doing stuff together

>>95145751
racists aren't excluded from hypocrisy

>>95144813
I like it actually, feels like an actual comic book instead of poser or anime or shiny art

>>95144567
>Afro%Sideburns Joey
best boy

>>95144813
Pretty sure Adeline has a surly look on her face on purpose.
>>95144968
Priest has to meme that Rose is Hmong as much as he can so no future writer will ever forget it.

>>95145786
Not him but I'd say that's the coloring more than the pencils.

Overall I don't mind the art, but it feels kind of messy. It's coherent enough though, not distracting. Less than ideal but acceptable enough for a normal monthly.

>>95144593
>>95144605
I love comic books

>>95144691
Why? N52 TT is the actual most garbage shit DC's managed to put out.

>>95144605
>Priest actually sifted through Lobdell/Peifer TT
Ok, I gotta commend him on that

>>95144813
>if Adline didn't look terrible.
I don't think she likes it, she has that terrible look on her face for a reason, maybe its because she is guilty for killing Etienne or being guilty of using her son to get at slade or something.

>>95144642
>>95144706
I don't like either giantesses or braided girls but there's something about this PG ughh I have a boner like Slade as middle-school teacher

>>95145806
>to meme that Rose is Hmong as much as he can so no future writer will ever forget it.
This actually seems necessary. Roberto de Costa over at Marvel was explicitly afro-brazillian when he first appeared, but is usually just drawn as a tanned white guy in recent years.

>>95144620
>You hate Rose becasuse she represents Slade cheating on you with a hmong woman
>You killed Etienne because she was black

So Jericho seems pretty convinced that his mom is racist. Has no one told him she's married to a black man?

>>95146224
It actually would be keen if Adeline was the female version of the guy who likes to fuck whomever but rees when a woman of his race also mixes.

>>95146224
There are mothers who call their own half black children niggers

>>95144742
Artist, please.
You can't have someone look away dramatically when someone is talking to them using sign language.

>>95146322
Maybe he did it and then turned? Could have used a beat panel I guess.

>>95146313
>citation needed

>>95144620
Rose is hmong? Is this a new plot point?

>>95145868
It's funny to see TT fans cry about as bad it is as though the franchise was ever good

>>95146538
The whole war of secret assassins is new. Rose being Hmong has been a plot point since the first issue she showed up in.

>>95144691
...I begin in N52 and.... I prefer forget the N52 TT..

>>95144964

>4 weeks
Shit we back to monthly now?

>>95147459
Wasn't Deathstroke monthly for a while now?

>>95147459
>>95147523
Since this arc started, and I think technically there was only one issue during the crossover

>>95147523
>>95147561
Damn I've been out of the loop for awhile now, at least the art will get better even it's been pretty solid to begin with

>>95147561
This is a shame because this is one arc that would benefit from having a bi monthly schedule.

>>95144605
I guess it's completely impossible to see Rose get dicked by Nightwing and have Slade watch now that we're at this point

that sucks

>>95145159
Do yourself a favor and read. This is the best he's ever been imo

>>95146597
>Rose being Hmong has been a plot point since the first issue she showed up in.
woosh

>>95144664
So it would seem. In fact it looks like she's a literal bodyguard-whore. You know, for that Middle-East dictator experience.

>>95146322
She might have intentionally not been paying attention because she didn't like what he had to say.

>>95144742
oh god I want to see them fuck

>>95145471
They're all united in knowing that Slade is a dick.

It's the glue that keeps them together.

>>95146245
>"I might be fucking a nigger, but I'd never commit white genocide by having children with him!"

>>95144605
How long till he's dead?

>>95148565
>Nightwing
>Not a fan of cuckolding
Remember when he slept with someone and then invited her to his wedding?

>>95146374
It happens some parents are terrible, like those ones that use their babies as melee weapons

>>95149925
he literally just cucked a girl today

>>95150029
How can it be cheating if you're broken up? I feel like if you use "cucked" in places it doesn't fit, it will no longer have any meaning.

>>95150117
That ship sailed a long time ago

>>95150117
>it will no longer have any meaning.
>He thinks cuck'd still has meaning

>>95150117
Well cucking is not necessarily cheating, like the fetish is explicitly getting off on your partner fucking someone else.

>>95150205
If you're broken up, they're no longer your partner.

>>95150117
She obviously still has feelings for him
I'd be lying if I said he probably didn't still have feelings for her too

>>95150248
Dick is like Starfire - he loves all the ladies. :)

>>95150248
For someone who claimed that he is in love with her, he sure get over her quickly.

>>95150406
He's also been attracted to and likely in love with Helena since Grayson, we know he was sad when they stayed separate at the end of the run.

>>95149925
I'm even more down for this now, but Priest has so far only mentioned Dick in this book, and aside from that flashback cameo, Priest doesn't seem like he wants to use Dick in this run, which is why this sucks.

>Deathstroke thread turns into a Dick thread

such is life

>>95150767
Anyone else think Neves's art is pretty awesome? I like the white team designs, even though I agree with Priest that Deathstroke with a cape is deliberately hilarious.

Can we have a recap on rose's fuckbaddies? Wasn't the guy she was with at first hired by deathstroke to get a chance to be close with her? Why does jericho say it was adeline?
And what about hosun, does she like him?

>>95150767
There's literally only 10 posts out of 150. Just ignore the.

>>95144688
Asking the important question. What's Slade planning?

>>95144813
It's not meant to be touching, you goon

>>95150950
>Can we have a recap on rose's fuckbaddies?
She's a virgin. Or perhaps was, maybe Terra needling her about being one made her consummate her marriage.

>Wasn't the guy she was with at first hired by deathstroke to get a chance to be close with her? Why does jericho say it was adeline?
This is the result of intersecting keikakus. Deathstroke put a contract up as bait, which Adeline took using that guy.
>And what about hosun, does she like him?
So far she's found him annoying.

>>95150950
>And what about hosun, does she like him?

They got married because they think it will stop Slade from killing him.

>>95151086
>>95151053
And why would slade want to kill his q?

>>95150950
>Why does jericho say it was adeline
I thought it was her but she just used the guy.

They had a confrontation and everything with Adeline basicallysaying she wants to ruin his life.

>>95151208
He testified against Slade for the U.S. govt earlier in the run

>>95150954
I thought that he put this team together to fight the Society but there's probably more to it than that.

Terra might be on to something, there is probably something valuable to Slade on the ship.

Something to do with Rose's sword that came from the future?

DC's Netherwhelm comic when

>>95144536
"What's she going to do? Stab me?"

>>95144742
Some how manages to be progressive and anti snowflake in one stroke

Amazing

>>95145019
I think with Joey he didn't get directly involved in his life after the throat slith mainly because it was his fault that happened so he stayed at arm's length.

However he doesn't fully neglect Jericho since he did get involved with Etienne (which was fucked up) only because there was something fishy about her and he knew she was after him so he wanted her out of Joey's life.

With Grany he was the eldest and more of pigheaded so he unfortunately got Slade's attention.

>>95151863
Well, Priest is progressive and anti-snowflake. Ever read any of his blogs?

>>95144605
>Slade doesn't kill the guy sleeping with his daughter
>Isherwood said Slade would kill the guy sleeping with his son

Talk about double standards. Also sad considering Joey needs the love more than Rose does.

>>95150205
If they're not together it's not cuckolding.
It's voyeurism.

>>95144544
Priest?

>>95144605
"Goodammit kid, now I have to cuck my daughter. Lube up."

>>95151896
Slade considers Isherwood a "friend", that's why he'd go full berserk if he found out what he did to Joey

>>95151896
With Isherwood there's the whole grooming issue. Joey may insist he made the first move after he became legal, but he's not exactly reliable.

>>95152989
>wanting somebody you don't know or trust to bang your child over somebody you know and trust

>>95153299

Either one is pretty terrible.

>>95153584
>>95152989
This comes only from a subconscious, prude mindset that there's something wrong in being fucked.
There isn't.

>>95153620

I just meant that its probably awful for a parent to think about their grown child having sex. Like yeah you know its gonna happen, but they are always a kid to you.

>>95153640
Going by what most anons' parents go through, I'd say thinking about your grown child not having sex ever is worse.

>>95144385
Goddamn this was a good read, is the rest of Priest's Deathstroke run that good?

>>95153848

Having followed this from the start, I'd say this is among the worse chapters. There are much better ones. Without saying this wasn't good, but the rest is even better.

>>95153848
Yes. Please buy it. We need good books to survive

>>95153848
Buy the trades please.

The first 2-3 issues are confusing but it ends up all weaving together and making more sense, especially if you already know the history of Slade's family.

>>95151871
Does Joey know that getting cucked by his own dad was for his own good?

>>95154955
Cause I wouldn't blame him for thinking that his dad wants him to be a miserable sack of shit.

>>95144385
Deathbump.

>>95144501
Woah, Rose is HMONG?

>>95144501
>>95144521
You can't really insult Rose for dual wielding when the single sword she is wielding has such a stupid design. No crossguard and some kind of retarded blade trap just above the hilt, nice way to slice off your own fingers.

>>95144552
The client's gonna be Slade, isn't it?

>>95144664
'Armed Professional Escort' implies more bodyguard, but the set-up is clearly for a prostitute.

Sounds like a Japanese calling is main female character Larry.

>>95156073

>>95160262

>>95160335
Yes

>>95160335
He wanted Daredevil and they gave him Black Panther.

>No, they called me actually. The unsung heroes of that were Brian Augustyn and Mark Waid. They were in consultation with Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti when they were getting Marvel Knights up and running. I think Black Panther was on the list of characters that they had. Somehow people in the room, it may have been Joe or whoever – somebody said “okay this is something that Priest could do”.

>So I get the call from Joe and I thought – well here’s my chance to write Daredevil – I knew he was calling for Daredevil. Their big title. I went “You owe me buddy – you owe me pal! Here’s Daredevil!” [laughs] but no they gave that to Kevin Smith and I wasn’t going to get Daredevil."

>He said Black Panther and my heart just sunk. I thought Don McGregor did some brilliant work with him, but I disagreed with him on aspects of the character. I thought the world was brilliant that he did, but you know Black Panther – y’know some kid comes up literally from behind him and knocks him out – and I went “how does that happen? He’s the Black Panther”.

>I didn’t want to write that, that just didn’t appeal to me and I just didn’t agree with that. Then I got a call back – a conference call from Brian Augustyn and Mark Waid and they were talking it up “No no! you need to do this – it’s this new thing! Really think it over!” and they talked me into it.

Then why the hell could he not be bothered to read anything with Damian before the Lazarus Contract?

>>95160794
Maybe he read and realized that Tomasi cannot write people for shit.

>>95144813
It's not great but I find it weird because it doesn't seem to be getting any better even though it's a monthly now

>>95153262
Why do people insist he groomed Joey

Did I miss something

>>95160794
Maybe he read TT and that's how he got that policy of not feeling like reading old runs.

>>95161692

I thin its a much older dude with the son of his friend that makes it iffy. Also Isher said slade would kill him if he knew
