Deathstroke #1 - "The Professional, Part One: Among Thieves"

'This is a likely case of casting against type, which is why I said yes. If I were editing Deathstroke, I’m not sure I would have picked me, which then made me interested in taking a swing because it’s been a very, very long time since a publisher last selected me for a project based on my actual writing as opposed to my being, y’know, a Republican. I would never have pitched for Deathstroke (although I did write Conan for a long time–shameless plug for Dark Horse which has reprinted most of my run). But it occurred to me that somebody, somewhere, at DC actually gave this some thought– gave *me* some consideration past my ethnicity– which earned my respect for DC because I felt like this was an earnest creative decision more so than, “we need a Republican to write this.”' - Christopher James Priest











Wintergreen and Deathstroke take down Clock King, who they discern doesn't actually have time-related superpowers but only fakes them via hallucinogenic gas and audio hypnosis (hence the constant tik-tok sound.)

I think that was my favorite part. Not that I didn't like the other stuff, but...
