Deathstroke #53

Deathstroke looms large on this 1995 DC cover, his distinctive half-gold, half-blue masked face set with cool menace as he dominates the foreground. Behind him, a tense radar-room scene unfolds — a figure in tactical gear brandishing a weapon amid a burst of explosive green energy, with another armed operative looking on. Kicking off "The Borgia Plague, Part One of Two," this issue by writer Tom Joyner and interior artists Dave Zimmerman and Mike Collins promises a thriller built around intrigue and high-stakes confrontation, all wrapped in a striking cover by Sergio Cariello.
