The Walking Dead – Call To Arms | Comics

Rick Grimes and his people prepare to go up against The Whisperers but his former enemy Negan has some other plans.

Ever since members of Alexandria Safe-Zone has crossed paths with a savage group known as The Whisperers, Rick Grimes and his friends has not known peace. Their leader, Alpha has sent her daughter Lydia to live with them before killing off Ezekiel, Rosita and many more to mark a territory border with their severed heads on spike.

Knowing these enemies can decimate them all if they want, Rick did not take any rushed action against them but it soon started creating a friction among his fellow survivors and made everyone doubt his leadership skills. Seeing furious citizens fighting each other over this issue, he decides to see his arch-nemesis Negan for advice.

Carl and Lydia are escorted to Hilltop for safety by Andrea while Rick plans on forming a military with help from Dwight. They gathered a group of people with guns to take out a Zombie horde and lead out a practice session. Though Dwight is reluctant at being a leader of Alexandria militia but Rick tells him it's too late and they need him.

Maggie leaves Jesus behind before heading back to Hilltop and promises to send ten or more. Gabriel expresses his wish to join their newly formed army to serve people's souls because being a reverend is not enough anymore. Back at home, Rick suggests Michonne to go back to The Kingdom now that Ezekiel is gone and they need her.

Later he came across meets Brandon, whose father he had to kill earlier in self defense when attacked and even though he tried to say sorry to the boy, Rick is thrown down. Though he knocks that brat down, Michonne had to come and break it up but he was extra mad because earlier back at Hilltop, the boy even tried to hurt Carl.

When Maggie and her group was leaving for home, Brandon sneaks away from them to steal keys to the cell Negan is kept in and offers him to escape, because he wants both Rick and The Whisperers to kill each other. Rick and Michonne are informed shortly about keys to Negan's cell are missing and finds an empty basement cell.

Though Siddiq and Annie at gate saw no one passing, Rick believes he escaped with Maggie and her group. Given he knows too much about their recent situation with The Whisperers, Aaron and Michonne decides to go out looking for him.

After making it out of Alexandria with Hilltop group, Brandon secretly slips out of crowd on their way to meet Negan and give him his old cloths back. They head over to Whisperers' border marked with spikes and as Brandon was crying about his mom, he is stabbed in his chest by Negan before walking alone into enemy territory.

On his way, he encountered a dozen of Whisperers led by Beta, second to their leader Alpha and they decide to take him upon learning he is alone. Soon as they arrived at camp and he declares that he is in love with Alpha when taken to her. His continuous effort to court her with sleazy lines ultimately led her to punch him in the face.

Deep within Whisperers' territory, Aaron and Michonne gets surrounded by a group and Beta stabs Aaron during confrontation. Only for a timely arrival of Dwight, they are saved and made their enemies quickly retreat under heavy gunfire. Beta goes back to camp charging at Negan after his recent encounter with Alexandria forces.

He simply admits of lying about being an escaped prisoner initially because he was intimidated by Beta at first but he has a lot to offer to them and then sticks with their group to earn his keep through working hard. Dwight tells his army to get back soon because they crossed enemy border to engage enemy, which is an act of war.

Deathstroke – Suicide Run | Comics

Harley Quinn lures Deathstroke to Belle Reve and mae him fight the Suicide Squad, Lex Luthor's army of Bizarros to Red Hood.

Slade Wilson was tasked to kill a rogue Titan, Lapetus and gave up his eye as a part of a blood-sacrifice for his action (God Killer). He was training on Danger Island afterwards when his host Victor Ruiz brings him the news about his estranged daughter Rose Wilson, who is gunned down at her home before he could even react to it.

A furious Deathstroke immediately rushes to the spot only to find out it was another girl at his daughter's place with a message on her body that led Slade to believe it a handiwork of Joker's lunatic girlfriend; Harley Quinn, who previously made a deal with him for killing her "Boss" Amanda Waller; director of Suicide Squad.

So, arming himself up to infiltrate Belle Reve, Slade drops an EMP charge over the facility that severed all communications and unlocked all inmates. As guards were trying their best to keep the deranged inmates into their cells, he quietly drops inside.

While Task Force X member Captain Boomerang, Parasite and many other were taking out the guards; Harley Quinn was trying to make an escape out of this loony bin. Deathstroke grabs her from behind, asking about playing decoy with his daughter and got surrounded by other inmates, whom these two easily beat down to submission.

Then another assassin Deadshot showed up there with a vendetta from their previous encounter on Russia (Pure Insanity). Their fight is briefly stalled when Slade explains his reason to be here is to find Rose but Harley tries to re-engage them to save herself.

They are soon interrupted as Deathstroke is quickly pulled to the aquatic block by Black Manta, who also wants to get back at him. Apparently, Manta too has a grudge over him regarding the last time they ran into each other and takes him down under.

At Waller's office, reptilian villain Snakebite shows up during the breakout and he cornered her after quickly killing off her bodyguards. All situations came under control when Internal Forces came to rescue shortly and have Manta diving back to water while Slade heads straight to Waller's office with Harley to finish his work.

There they find out corpse of her security personnel and presumed that she is dead already, whereas Snakebite is actually keeping the director hostage within Belle Reve compound. With a timely assist from Catwoman, they two fights their way out of armed guards.

More convicts approaches there seeing a chance to exact their vengeance on Waller and these three takes them all down before finally meeting the psycho snake man, with whom Deathstroke had a brief tussle with. Snakebite engages in a fight with Slade who ended up being poisoned by his venomous opponent but forcing him to flee.

Slade chases another lead for Rose at LexCorp that involves him standing against Mercy Graves, a Lex Luthor Robot and an army of Bizarros. Then he gets into a showdown with Red Hood, which led him to a man from his past trying to ruin him.

Deathstroke – Suicide Run

Running on third ongoing volume, "Suicide Run" is the third story arc from Deathstroke monthly series, collecting issues #11-16. A part of The New 52 timeline, the story is plotted by writer James Bonny and Tony Daniel (Batman, Teen Titans), while arts were done by penciller Tyler Kirkham (The Darkness, Tomb Raider) back in 2015 for DC Comics.

Special guest appearance of Catwoman and Red Hood was truly a refreshing experience altogether even though it only mattered momentarily when they showed up as well as an antagonist from Slade's past, who wants to see him dead after tormenting him enough.

Stingers of Snakebite

A pattern is formed from the very first arc of this series; "Gods of War" and then it subtly continued throughout the entire time as other development progressed along and Deathstroke eventually went toe to toe with members of the infamous Suicide Squad at one point, with whom he shares not so pleasant history after all.

Minor hints toward other ongoing stories of DC Universe such as "Robin – Son of Batman – Year of Blood" and previous issues from "God Killer" storyline were given in plot details as reference. Both the series and Slade's chronicles will be concluded within the next arc titled "Family Business" where all stakes will go sky high for him.
