Deathstroke: The Hunted #44

Part five of six in "The Hunted" arc finds Deathstroke in the thick of it — the cover, inked and penciled by Scott McDaniel, depicts a menacing armored figure looming from above, its mechanical form bristling with cables and firing crackling laser beams at a red-clad combatant lunging forward in the foreground, while additional figures scramble through a wooded background. The composition crackles with kinetic tension, promising that Marv Wolfman's script and Sergio Cariello's interior art deliver the same relentless energy as issue 44 races toward its sixth-part conclusion. If you've been following this 1995 storyline, this penultimate chapter looks like exactly the right moment to hold on tight.
