Deathstroke #16

From the New 52 era of DC Comics, Deathstroke #16 puts the armored mercenary front and center — heavily equipped with an assault rifle in one hand and a blade at the ready, his dark tactical suit and gold-accented shoulder armor making him look every bit the unstoppable force the cover tagline challenges: "To Kill the Unkillable Man." Scott Clark's cover art delivers a brooding, imposing figure set against a fractured, fiery orange backdrop that radiates menace. Written by Justin Jordan with interior art by Edgar Salazar and Scott Hanna, this 2013 issue promises a story that dares to ask whether DC's deadliest contract killer can actually be brought down.
