Deathstroke, the Terminator #22

Deathstroke plunges into chaos on this 1993 cover by Mike Zeck, who renders Slade Wilson — armored in his signature blue-and-orange — locked in a fierce bar brawl against a crowd of aggressive opponents, staff blazing with energy as bodies fly on all sides. The tagline "Fire and Blood" sets the tone for the opening chapter of "The Quality of Mercy," with writer Steven Grant and artist Gabriel Morrissette bringing the heat. A bonus cover blurb teases Deathstroke vs. The Janissary just two weeks away, making this an exciting moment in the series' newly launched biweekly schedule.
