Superman – Doomed | Comics

As Superman started dating Wonder Woman now (The Villain's Journey), the media has already dubbed them as the “Power Couple” of the world. Following their recent battle with Kryptonian despot Dru-Zod and his follower Faora that ended up in a massive nuclear blast, both of them head off to heal themselves and a mysterious being of unimaginable brute force unleashes its nonsensical murdering rampage by killing whomever it faces in somewhere else.

Since its kill count is growing rapidly and anyone sent to the zone is dying from radiation exposure it exerts, the military calls up for Superman's help. Meanwhile, reporter Lois Lane goes to Smallville for investigating a case of citizens falling into a sudden coma like state. The Justice League finds out that the murderous being known as Doomsday is actually seeking Superman and Lex Luthor suggests he can save the planet by taking the monster along with him out of the world.

Agreeing to this, Superman faces Doomsday in a deadly battle for one last time where he eventually kills him using sheer force. However, in doing so by ripping the creature in half, he also absorbs all of the exposure of toxic radiation by inhaling it all that the beast had released upon dying and he then slowly started to change like a Doomsday-like being. Not only he changed in the outside, Clark has totally lost his mild-mannered attitude and becomes more and more aggressive.

Worried for Clark’s well being and a sudden change of behavior, Diana sought their mutual friend Batman out for help and together, they visit the Phantom Zone for answers. Seeing his grotesque appearance and growing bestial nature, Superman surrenders himself to the authorities but even they deemed it impossible to contain him at one point when he becomes the "SuperDoom" creature. A recent attack from Metallo renders him weak, so Wonder Woman took him to outer space to figure a way out.

As Superman turns into a hulking being resembled to Doomsday, his cousin and newest Red Lantern member Supergirl and close friend Steel also came for aid while Brainiac keeps playing with the situation from behind the scene like a mastermind. When he finally shows up with Cyborg Superman and his armada to invade Earth, it appears that he has been controlling Lois Lane all along.

Borrowing elements from the iconic "The Death of Superman" story, writer Greg Pak (Incredible Hulk, World War Hulk), Charles Soule (New Gods – Godhead, Swamp Thing – New 52) and Scott Lobdell (The Darkness, WildC.A.T.s) has put together the grudge match of the two most powerful Kryptonians in “Superman – Doomed” crossover event in 2014 from DC Comics. Unlike the original milestone event where the Man of Steel seemingly faces his demise, this one actually ventures into a different dive of ideas by the creators which contains some twists as well.

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.
