Deathstroke, the Terminator Annual #4

Part of DC's "Year One" annuals program of 1995, this issue dives into Deathstroke's past with the evocative story "The Web of Eternal Vows." Octavio Cariello's striking cover presents a deliberately unsettling image — a black-and-white wedding photograph, spattered with blood, depicting a bride in full white gown alongside suited figures, the whole snapshot suggesting that even life's most solemn moments aren't safe from violence in Deathstroke's world. With Marv Wolfman at the helm and Cariello handling both pencils and inks inside, this annual promises a sharp look at the formative years of one of DC's most compelling antiheroes.
