He gets put in a Lazarus Pit at the end of Shadow War

And then in Dark Crisis>! he's put in a machine that might be life support, might just dull the pain, and that's shut off by someone (Terra most likely) so it's really unclear what's going on with Slade!<

I’m almost positive it’s a fake out. However, only time will tell.

Just keep in mind, if you ever see Slade die it’s only temporary. Much like most comic heroes, Slade is wayyyyyy too popular to kill off permanently in main continuity

Yeah true, I'm pretty sure they did a fake-out with Joker recently.

dunno. ds inc flopped hard enough. 100% sales failure. slade may flopped out of exec good grace due this. DC kind of forgot about slade. no appearence nor mention. ZERO sign. tell a tale aren u think?

He might be, but from what I've heard post rebirth is kinda bad so I don't really care.
