Deathstroke #24 - "Defiance, Chapter Four"
Nov. 1st, 2017 06:40 am
Deadpool has now grossly overshadowed Deathstroke nearly to the point where Deathstroke seems to be the parody of Deadpool and not the other way around. My challenge is to fix that. I’m not competing with Deadpool, but distinguishing Marv Wolman’s brilliant work from the echo that’s overshadowed it through a kind of creative deconstruction of the villain aesthetic. -- Christopher J.
