Deathstroke #5
In "Defiance: The Fall of Slade, Part 1," Deathstroke faces off against Bolt over a high-stakes bounty, while Tanya—tormented by visions of a lost Power Girl—struggles to connect with her Defiance allies, only to be met with silence. As despair drives her to a shocking act, the truth remains hidden: Tanya has vanished from Earth, not in surrender, but to embark on a desperate mission to save Karen. Written by Priest and illustrated by Larry Hama, Denys Cowan, and Bill Sienkiewicz, with colors by Jeromy Cox and letters by Willie Schubert, this pivotal issue features a striking cover by Ryan Sook.
