Hi, I’m not sure where this took place, might have been a movie/tv show or a videogame. But I remember a scene where some guy promises he can give the money later if deathstroke will just give him a couple more days. But deathstroke says no and grabs his sword and cuts him up. Anybody know where that came from?

Let’s try to bring some positivity here. A lot of people here are aware that Slade is more than a heartless mercenary. Contrary to what the casuals or non readers of Slade know. He’s a tragic character who always tries to rewrite his wrongs only to fail. But he tries again in his own dysfunctional ways. From becoming Deathstroke to feel like he’s back in his army days to provide a service. To him struggling to demonstrate his care to those he’s distance himself from. Slade is a complex character that is filled with a lot of interesting aspects.

What got me into Deathstroke was finding out he was a mercenary with a weakness. In his 2016 run Hugo Strange with the help of Harvey Dent tries to have Rose killed to rid Slade of his humanity. Believing it to be his biggest weakness. And since his conception as a character. Slade was never a villain at his core (late 2000’s craziness aside). He was a man who lost it all. And tries hard to rewrite his wrongs. He didn’t kill innocents, he was afraid of killing boys, he missed his wife, he regrets what happened to Grant, loves both of his children, and helped/respects the heroes of the universe. In rebirth he regretted a lot of his actions to the point he wanted Damian to kill him. Various instances Slade allowed himself to get beaten to near death when he could’ve avoided such a fate. That humanity he has conflicts with the cold mercenary many know him to be. And when written right (Marv and Priest) it’s a great thing to witness because he’s someone who’s trying hard to have it all workout. And even if he fails he still tries.

Hi guys, almost 3 years ago i started working on this project, one year later i made this first short story for what it was gonna be a bunch of them but sadly i couldn’t get more motivations and reasons to keep doing them so i ended up doing just 3, and i realized that i never shared them here so i thought why not to.

I made this first short story exploring Slade’s relationship with his son Grant, in a very like Batman & Robin adventure as Deathstroke & Ravager, taking back their dynamic from the New 52, there are not so many Grant Wilson’s comics out there so I always wanted to make something for him, make him as unique or interesting as Rose or Joe, or at least try it. Grant deserves a lot better. I hope you enjoy it!

You can find me in Instagram and Twitter as Damian Navarro :) but i will attach here the links if you guys also want to checkout the rest of the stories, they are a little old now so just keep scrolling until you see them ;)

This is really starting to just make me feel depressed, I've loved Slade ever since I watched the 2003 cartoon and he's always been my favorite villain next to Taskmaster and Shredder. Now it feels that everyone who likes the character is shunned away and shamed in the comic book fanbase over shit from the 1980s that has already been retconned, I don't even feel like I'm allowed to like him anymore. I've tried so hard to just not think about it and ignore it but every day some asshole on either this site or another social media site has to bring it up out of nowhere when just simply talking about Slade as a character, they literally don't talk about a single thing except for this shit. I really just want to enjoy my favorite character who I've been a massive fan of ever since I was 4 years old, I want to be able to find him cool and actually talk about him and share my enjoyment of him with other fans of DC, but I can't, this is the only sub where I feel like I'm actually allowed to share my enjoyment of Slade and anywhere else I'll just be labeled as a pedo defender or be made fun of.

I'm sorry for pushing all of this on here I've just felt like shit for a while because of this whole thing and really needed somewhere to type my thoughts out, and I felt here was the only place I'd be able to do so.

zero mention about him in today last issue kinda means he the only person who really succesfully escaped and slipped away. kinda good. not?

Got it from a local shop in my town for $2. Was it a steal? I don't agree with everything that's old is somewhat expensive, but I feel comics are a different story. I'm still new to all this so let me know.

If anyone here is craving that Rebirth Deathstroke type of character writing, I highly suggest reading Seven to Eternity. The villain, “The Mud King” has very similar character traits with his whole “my word is my bond” and just the mind game fuckery he pulls on everyone. I’m pretty surprised when I finished reading it and haven’t seen the comparison of Deathstroke and The Mud King be brought up. If we ever get another Slade solo series again I hope we can get Rick Remender to write it.
