Deathstroke #0

Part of DC's New 52 initiative, this November 2012 zero issue dives into "A Soldier's Story" with a cover by Rob Liefeld that puts Deathstroke front and center — armored in his signature blue-and-gold suit, he bursts through the page itself, knife raised in one hand and gun in the other, his single red eye blazing with menace. The torn-paper effect gives the image real kinetic energy, framing the mercenary as someone who doesn't just enter a room — he demolishes it. A solid jumping-on point for anyone curious about the world's most dangerous assassin in the New 52 era.
