Deathstroke, the Terminator #20

Deathstroke lunges forward on Mike Zeck's kinetic cover, arms outstretched and teeth gritted, as a massive fireball erupts behind him in a wall of orange and black — exactly the kind of visceral image that makes you want to crack the issue open immediately. Part four of the "Nuclear Winter" arc, subtitled "Heatwave," promises that the heat is very much on for DC's deadliest mercenary. Wolfman, Erwin, and Blyberg bring their 1993 series to a boiling point here, and Zeck's cover sets the tone with striking intensity.
