Deathstroke #2
This volume collects Deathstroke (Rebirth) #9-13, continuing the saga of Slade Wilson as he confronts the fallout of his past sins. The story delves into his complex family dynamics, particularly with his sons Grant and Joseph, while introducing a new threat tied to a mysterious cult known as the Gospel of Slade. Batman and Superman make appearances as the line between Slade's mercenary code and his humanity is tested.
In "The Professional Part 6: Love and War," Christopher Priest and Denys Cowan deliver a tense, character-driven chapter where a grieving community turns to Deathstroke for justice after a young life is lost. When Jack Ryder uncovers a dangerous deception, he must confront a false Deathstroke—revealed to be the Reverend Ed Thompson—while the real mercenary arrives to settle the score. The cover by Shane Davis and Michelle Delecki captures the story’s grim intensity.

After a 12 year old bystander is killed when a woman is seemingly fending off would-be rapists, a collection of African-American parents hire Deathstroke to kill the gangs who have been causing their children's deaths. Jack Ryder investigates and realizes the Deathstroke performing the killings is an imposter. Ryder fights the fake Deathstroke as the Creeper but ultimately the real Deathstroke appears and kills the pretender who proves to be the Reverend Ed Thompson.
