FREE DEATHSTROKE: VOL 2 PDF Tony S. Daniel | 144 pages | 08 Mar 2016 | DC Comics | 9781401261207 | English | United States Deathstroke () Vol. 2: The Gospel of Slade - Comics by comiXology Pros: There are plenty of great, action packed moments from Deathstroke here. His fight against Lobo is entertaining. Cons: The plot feels generic the entire time. The narrative is inconsistent and changes suddenly and randomly. The finale is poor and fails to deliver the emotions it attempts to elicit. The artwork ranges from Deathstroke: Vol 2 to below average. Overall: Though it starts out alright, this volume ultimately devolves into a mess that gets Deathstroke: Vol 2 entertaining with every page. Deathstroke still has plenty of time to shine and there are moments where his epic stunts are great. However, the plot Deathstroke: Vol 2 lackluster to start out with and only gets worse as the volume progresses. This is a volume for those who Deathstroke: Vol 2 to see every fight Deathstroke participates in, not those looking to see him take part in a meaningful story. Deathstroke Vol. However, as the volume progresses, this otherwise passable narrative is muddled by random changes to characters and sudden shifts in plot. It would have been great to see the series continue Deathstroke: Vol 2 the average quality level from the first volume; unfortunately, Lobo Hunt is filled with too many strange happenings Deathstroke: Vol 2 be anything more than second-rate. Lobo Hunt starts out with a story that is consistently average in terms of quality. It sees Deathstroke take on numerous enemies in a fight to subdue Lobo, who is the most threatening enemy Deathstroke has faced thus far. The story is entertaining in the way it presents over-the-top action but does little to define itself as a story worth remembering. Overall, it feels similar to Vol. This opening story is then followed by several shorter tales featuring Deathstroke taking on less intimidating opponents. He fights another assassin, temporarily teams up with Hawkman, kills a dictator and even dismantles a clan of ninjas. This portion of the book has a similar level of over-the-top action, though this is really the only positive. The negatives, in this portion of the book, come from the frustrating lack of a cohesive narrative. For example, Deadborn starts out as an assassin hired by the mob to kill Deathstroke but is later working for Jericho with absolutely no ties to Deathstroke: Vol 2 mob, yet this is never explained. Continuity shifts like these are common in comic books, but they typically occur over the course of multiple years, not within a single volume. The number of errors, like these, turn what would be a passable collection of stories into Deathstroke: Vol 2 frustrating mess. It happens so suddenly and is shrouded in such confusion that readers are unable to connect with the Deathstroke: Vol 2. This kills the emotions present here and deflates any sense of grandeur that the finale was designed to have. Much like the story, the artwork throughout Lobo Hunt ranges from average to below average. However, this portion of the book suffers from a distinct lack of creativity. Characters look generic and have little sense of charm or originality about them. Even Deathstroke: Vol 2, an alien known for his outlandish physique, looks just like an ordinary biker. The second half of the book, primarily penciled by Edgar Salazar, ends up looking even worse. Though characters have a bit more flair to them, proportions and physical features appear even more twisted. This Deathstroke series ends with this volume. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

Jan 02, Joseph rated it really liked it Shelves: comics-graphic-novels. One of the best books by DC right now, writer Priest weaves a complicated tale of family, love, betrayal, trust, friendship, and vengeance. The meandering timeline Deathstroke: Vol 2 be a bit confusing, but it's worth it to see it all come together. Aug 10, James DeSantis rated it liked it. The numbering is very very wrong on Goodreads. Volume 2 collects up to issue Also the style of the story is a bit jumbled. I had a bit of a hard time following. However, after Superman stuff is finished we get a Deathstroke in prison, his kids doing some bad shit, and then a single shot issue that has something to do with Deathstroke but very very different style and the ending twist to give it a whole new feeling. What I liked: Art is still top notch. Deathstroke: Vol 2 damn good. I also thought the seco The numbering is very very wrong on Goodreads. I also thought the second half started picking up. That single one shot story is fucking amazing. It tracking down a killer, deathstroke, going after gangbangers and such. The ending is so sad but the twist is even better. What I didn't like: It was really messy first few issues. Superman Deathstroke: Vol 2 in was fun but the rest? Confusing to say the least. Overall it was still fun and energy filled volume but not as good as volume 1 for me. The single issue alone though is worth reading. May 18, B. This continues to be one of the most fascinating and well-written comicbook coming out, period. Written by a man who spent over a decade doing anything, but writing comics. If you like good story-telling and not reading anything by this legend, you only hurting yourself. May 07, Chris rated it liked it Shelves: dc-comics. As intriguing as it is confusing, Christopher Priest's Deathstroke is slowly reeling me in. The Gospel of Slade wraps up The Professional storyline that began in the first volume, followed by a couple of shorter stories which also have their moments. Priest's writing is a case of 'show now, maybe explain later' but something is compelling me to read on and continue putting the pieces together. It helps that Carlo Pagulayan, Jason Paz and Jeromy Cox are one hell of an art team their Superman looks fantastic and the issue by Denys Cowan and Bill Sienkiewicz really fits the tone of that particular story. Although I still can't say i'm fully enjoying Deathstroke, i've ordered the next volume and I think the series has real potential. I'm hoping Twilight is a case of 'the third time's the charm'. Jan 03, Wing Kee rated it it was ok. Just like the first arc, if you can pick through the jumbled mess there are some jewels here. World: The art has been find so far, I like the style but I hate the constant artist changes, but that's what readers have to expect from the release schedule that DC is committed to.
