HUNTERS FOR HIRE! DC’s deadliest assassin Slade Wilson isn’t taking orders anymore. No longer a “killer for hire,” but still very much a killer, Deathstroke prowls the dark shadows, licking his wounds and looking for his next victim. Meanwhile, Slade’s ex Adeline is making it known to the Merchants of Death that she’s taken over the Deathstroke business… and promises that the contract murders will continue without interruption.

Deathstroke: The Terminator #1 feels like an overcomplicated 90s action film

Deathstroke: The Terminator #1

Soldier-turned-superhuman assassin for hire Slade Wilson has made hundreds of enemies in his day, and now one of them is taking his world apart piece by piece. The hit is out on Deathstroke as he evolves into his purest form…a terminator out for revenge and ready to kill anyone who stands in his way. Deathstroke: The Terminator #1 kicks off a tale of revenge in a debut that feels like 90s action films.

Do you remember 90s action films with needlessly complicated plots that lead to revenge? Not today’s simple, they killed my dog, but the type that involved tricking the target into doing something then delivering a twist as the mission ends? That’s what Deathstroke: The Terminator #1 feels like as Slade is sent on a mission from a client which of course has a twist at the end. Written by Tony Fleecs, the debut issue isn’t bad, it feels like summer popcorn action where you can turn off your brain and just enjoy the destruction. It’s The Expendables as a recent example though the revenge plot feels much more Tango & Cash. That includes action sequences that are so silly in logic, they’re fun, and a mission that’s both insane and simple in its focus, stop a whistleblower.

The insanity’s art is brought together by Carmine Di Giandomenico on pencils, Ivan Plascencia on color, and lettering by Wes Abbot. The team has created visuals that celebrate that action and craziness which includes riding a van through the air as it’s used as a battering ram/explosive distraction. It’s an entrance to catch attention and doesn’t know the word subtle. That feels like a solid description of the entire comic, subtlety isn’t even a thing. This is a bombastic comic in story and visuals that’s just all out action fun.

Deathstroke: The Terminator #1 isn’t a bad comic. If you enjoy those types of action films where you roll with it and judge it on the sequences as opposed to the details, you’ll be fine. There’s a simplicity in the craziness and action where it just goes all out. It knows what it is and has no shame in delivering exactly that.
