i have been a fan of the Deathstroke character since he was first introduced by Marv Wolfman and George Perez in the Teen Titans.
although i have not read comics in well over 20 years i have recently picked up a few of the New 52 collections to see what DC has done with the recreating of it's Universe.
while this new Deathstroke has been slightly changed and i would guess DC would say he has been made more modern he is not as enjoyable a character as the original 'Stroke. this Deathstroke is much more savage and takes no prisoners.
this collection presents the first story arc of the new book. the stories are action oriented - they are brutal and they are a quick read. although this first story is not an origin of the new Deathstroke it does introduce the character to us and it gives us some backstory and insight to the character. old supporting characters are dropped and new ones are added, the new supporting characters add to the story but i miss the characters that were dropped.
this collection interested me enough and held my attention enough for me to comeback to the next collection to see how Deathstroke develops as a book and as a character. the one major problem is that i have heard that the creative team has changed. that is a shame - i think with the stories presented in this collection they provided a good starting point for the New 52 Deathstroke and i would like to see where they go from here.
it is mentioned that the armour worn by Deathstoke contains Nth metal, the same metal that Hawkman's gear is made of and gives him the power of flight and apparently additional abilities in the New 52 - but Deathstroke's costume containing Nth metal is only a passing line and we do not learn any more about it.
