Deathstroke, the Terminator #7

Part two of "City of Assassins" arrives with a cover by Mike Zeck that crackles with kinetic energy — Deathstroke and Batman clash mid-air above a crumbling rooftop, their weapons locked as explosions erupt behind them and a full moon looms in the smoky sky. It's a striking image that pitches two of DC's most formidable figures against each other, with Marv Wolfman, Steve Erwin, and Will Blyberg delivering the interior story. If 1992's DC lineup had you hungry for action, this issue's "The Rival" chapter makes a compelling case for itself right on the cover.
