Deathstroke: Rebirth #1

Slade Wilson steps back into the DC Universe in style with this 2016 Rebirth one-shot, written by Priest with art by Carlo Pagulayan. ACO's striking cover gives us an extreme close-up of Deathstroke's half-black, half-orange mask — battle-worn, blood-spattered, and flanked by a pistol and a staff — capturing the mercenary's dual nature with unsettling precision. It's a sharp, confident reintroduction to one of DC's most dangerous figures, setting the tone for "The Professional Prologue" with plenty of menace to spare.
