Deathstroke #1
In "The Professional Part One: Among Thieves," Deathstroke returns to form with Wintergreen, donning the Ikon suit once more as they launch a daring rescue from Jazaki’s base. With Clock King down and the U.S. now poised to act after Congressman Hasgrove’s suicide, the stage is set for a dangerous game—though someone is quietly pulling strings, driving Deathstroke toward a purpose only they understand. Written by Priest and illustrated by Carlo Pagulayan, with inks by Jason Paz, colors by Jeromy Cox, and letters by Willie Schubert, the cover by Pagulayan and Paz captures the intensity of a man caught between loyalty and a deeper design.
