Deathstroke – Gods of War | Comics

Someone is trying to take down Slade Wilson, the world's greatest assassin and he is betrayed by his trusted allies.

Though Deathstroke, The Terminator has a reputation of being the world's greatest mercenary and deadliest assassin, his alter ego of Slade Wilson is of an adventurer's. When you have more than 600 kills in your career, they have to take you seriously.

His job requires him to travel a lot and his middle-man Tiggs just booked him a contract, which will take him back to Russia, despite Putin himself had asked him not to go back there again. However, his current assignment dictates that he takes out a target named "Possum" for some easy money this time.

There, Slade gotten busy with his contact Angelica in bed and her resources proved to be very useful when he gets to work. All of the targets from his list never saw him coming before he got the drop on them. As they had Possum in their custody, she informed Deathstroke that these people were trying to set him up.

Before figuring out what is going on, he is taken down a frequency transmission and his captive kills Angelica before she could help him. Asking Slade to spill out a code, which he can hear, the ugly mark starts stabbing him on the back with his sword.

Putting Slade's healing factor on some serious test, Possum states that Odysseus wants his head but before he could deliver a killing blow, the mercenary took his sword back and shoves it up on the scum's throat, effectively ending his worthless life.

Briefly tending to his wound to stop bleeding, Wilson is attacked by a dozen of backup assassins, whom he slaughtered with ruthless efficiency. As he is bombarded and barely walks, his still not dead enemy watches from distant. Arriving at the doorstep of an old man called I-Ching, Slade collapses on floor before him.

Waking up fully healed, Wilson realizes that he is reverted back to his old, young self again with his right eye being restored but I-Ching disappears telling him to watch his back and he ended up finding a hologram of a swordsman in mask. A person introducing himself as Red Fury walks in to point out that is Deathstroke's next target.

Before they could catch up, more hired killers appear out of nowhere and overwhelmed him but he quickly starts dispatching them all. Meanwhile, Lady Shiva called in Slade's old drinking buddy Bronze Tiger to lead the League of Assassins and hunt Odysseus down.

Trying to find out what he has actually missed, he drank up a truth serum Red Fury gave him earlier only to have visions of his imprisoned son Jericho in a test facility. Slade apparently fought to free his son from captivity who loses control and starts killing of scientists who used the boy to bring Odysseus back to life.

He then ran into Joker's girlfriend and Suicide Squad recruit Harley Quinn, who claimed to have known the locations of his children but is pissed off at him for selling her out previously. Hoping to get out of his clutches, Harley leads Deathstroke into a trap where he has a face-off against The Dark Knight, Batman!

Deathstroke – Gods of Wars

Initially, there was a short-lived version of Deathstroke monthly ongoing series that was the second line of publication, started in wake of The New 52 following the reality-altering "Flashpoint" crossover event and DC Comics re-launched this enigmatic character of theirs with a third monthly volume in 2014.

"Gods of War" marks the first storyline from that continuation that collects the first six issues plotted and drawn by Tony Daniel (Superman/Wonder Woman – Power Couple, Superman/Wonder Woman – War and Peace). Pitting his anti-hero image up front, Daniel portrays a new beginning for the deadly assassin.

Odysseus Has Risen!

Task Force X member Harley Quinn, Gotham's self-appointed protector Batman, master assassin Lady Shiva, vigilante adventurer Bronze Tiger as well as two of Slade's estranged children Jericho and Ravager was part of the puzzle in the running story.

In spite of him being world’s deadliest assassin, Wilson got punked by his trusted allies. Mysteries revolving around primary antagonist Odysseus may seem a little off the place but a foundation for his forthcoming adventures are build up. Slade Wilson will be stepping into a larger mess up next in the "God Killer" arc, feuding with some gods for real!

Harley Quinn – Hot in the City | Comics

The mistress of mayhem, who is none other than Harley Quinn is wondering what it would be if her life were a comic book. She considers hiring writer Jimmy Palmiotti and artist Amanda Conner, the former of whom is fairly known for drawing big boobs.

When these two starts talking with the issues that they are rightfully being framed of, Harley then starts considering another bunch of talented artists including Tony Daniel, Dan Panosian, Walt Simonson, Jim Lee, Bruce Timm, Charlie Adlard, Sam Kieth and Darwyn Cooke, while sometime featuring her best bud Poison Ivy and dropping her pudding The Joker in between plotline. She finally wakes up from her dream and is annoyed at the lack of the crowds’ lack of scheduling commitment.

Harley finally chose one of the artists from an older comic when a law firm representative Robert Coachman comes to inform her about one of her former patient from Arkham Asylum has recently passed away and left her an establishment in Coney Island, New York. So, to have fun and good times in a big city, she packs her loads and hits the street.

On road, she is disgusted seeing a man dragging his dog and she does the same to the man after freeing the dog. As she was busy doing that, a hitman sneaks out on her for the reward on her head. After taking care of him she gets sneaked by another one in Coney Island but saved by a tenant of her named Big Tony. It appears that someone has thrown a bounty on her head and anonymous hitters are on it to collect the prize.

Batman – Zero Year – Dark City | Comics

Batman – Zero Year – Dark City | Comics
Even though he failed to save Red Hood One from his fate in Ace Chemical Plant, Bruce Wayne successfully foiled the evil plan of the Red Hood Gang and saved the citizens of Gotham as the vigilante Batman. But just as an evil fell, another rises as Bruce’s uncle Philip Kane’s personal strategist Edward Nygma appears on TV and announces himself as The Riddler, who wants to make Gotham smarter. He plunged the whole city into darkness and it’s up to The Dark Knight to solve his riddle and save the city. Meanwhile, a mysterious killer named Doctor Death goes on a murder spree, who causes his victims bones to grow like vines and ripped apart by their own skeletons. Jim Gordon meets Bruce to praise him for his stand against the Red Hood Gang previously.

With Gotham completely blacked out now and it's citizens all panicked, Commissioner Loeb is still adamant on going all up against Batman instead of The Riddler and that makes it a devil's playground. Bruce Wayne goes to see Lucious Fox to know more about Dr. Death and the former appears there. Only for the timely intervention of Jim Gordon, Bruce and Lucious barely made it alive. Bruce and Jim still could not get along well for a shared past event from Bruce’s childhood. Batman soon gets framed by Dr. Death and as soon as the GCPD arrives there, they started showering bullets on him. After turning the whole city lights off, The Riddler unleashes more chaos by flooding entire Gotham City and blocking all way in or out. This is Zero Year!

Batman – Zero Year – Dark City (Hardcover)

The New 52 groundbreaking crossover event “Zero Year” comes to a conclusion with “Zero Year – Dark City”. This storyline followed “Secret City” and also comprised of two arcs; Dark City and Savage City. The whole act has run through issues #25-27, 29-33 from the second monthly ongoing volume of the Batman series from DC Comics. Scott Snyder (American Vampire, Superman Unchained) and Greg Capullo (Haunt, Spawn)’s Zero Year did to The New 52 Batman what Frank Miller (The Dark Knight Returns, The Dark Knight Strikes Again)'s “Year One” did to the Batman of New Earth continuity but on a grander scale. Not only the whole plot builds up the origin of The Dark Knight but it also introduced potential future allies and enemies as well.

On the grand opening of the Gotham National Bank, the gang goes there to rob the place blind after pre-poisoning everyone who worked there. A disguised Bruce Wayne is caught by their leader Red Hood One among the others by observing a simple flaw of his habitual trait. Bruce barely escapes through the tunnel from the crowd of GCPD and Red Hood Gang after a brief fight. While he was testing a Batarang and discussing about his recent endeavor, he is visited by Lieutenant Jim Gordon for a brief chat involving some irregular vigilante activities in the neighborhood which Bruce swore to know nothing about. In the meantime, the Red Hood Gang targets Bruce Wayne to pay an unpleasant visit.

Next up, Bruce starts flipping the bird right on the face of Red Hood One in every step he takes and pisses him off. In one morning Bruce’s uncle and the current CEO of Wayne Enterprises; Philip Kane comes to visit, who wants him to go public but Bruce is reluctant about it. Philip’s strategist Edward Nygma suggests him to kill his nephew to get ahead in the power play but he declines the idea. As Gotham City is about to be introduced to the greatest protector it ever had, it’s also going to have a mastermind villain making his grand debut who is literally about to bring the whole city to its knees with puzzles and riddles. Bruce comes out of shadow to face the evil but an accident may have given birth to another one.
