Slade Wilson's popularity is arguably at an all-time high since being played by Manu Bennett in Arrow, and now his comic book counterpart will be getting a new monthly series from writer and artist Tony S. Daniel (Superman/Wonder Woman). DC promises that we'll see Deathstroke as never before in the exciting new series, with one surprise after another as Slade Wilson finds himself in the fight of his life! The character, without question, is the world’s greatest assassin and one of the most feared people on the planet; he’s been a mercenary-for-hire, but has now been recruited onto Task Force X, a.k.a The Suicide Squad. We're about to know a lot more about the complex man behind the missions. Are you planning on checking out the new Deathstroke series?

Also below is the DC Collectibles Deathstroke bust designed by Jim Lee (via MTV News)!

This could be good. The art work will be the shiz... not sure about the writing though. He did some good work pre New 52

Hell yes... shame about the writer though!

He's been prominently featured in a popular TV series, three video games, countless comic book titles and even had his own Kotobukyi statue made as well as several other toys, all which have occurred after his cancellation.
It's been well overdue, DC.

I know I love Daniel's art but I don't know about his writing.

But I have to agree with this: Kevberg - At least it aint Liefeld at the helm!

Plus, once I saw Deathstroke's name next to Tony Daniel's name I got so excited that I jumped around and did a bunch of weird looking things!

I was debating about picking up Higgins' Deathstroke trade but saw Liefeld did art on the 2nd one.
Stay away from this one Rob.

Deathstroke deserves some quality comics based on his solo adventures.
He needs to be seen as a true mercenary type..truly a dangerous man but for the right price or motivation,he would battle villainous types as well. He's a complex character.

Keep Rob "No-Talent" Liefeld away from all comics please!

A Deathstroke TV show? Sweet! Maybe they'll put it on Amazon or Netflix...

Oh wait, a crappily written comic book.

Nevermind.

Hopefully he doesn't job against Batman anymore. Son of Batman, Arkham Origins both had him get wrecked by Batman in one on one encounters... Deathstroke is better, faster, stronger and in some instances smarter.

Hopefully the retcon a lot of the stuff they have already done, the pre-new 52 Deathstroke was much, much better.

Not a fan of Tony Daniel his art is good but his noses just throw it off for me.

Damn you DC why can't you just put Sean Murphy to good use on your mainstream title
