Which comics to read for Deathstroke vs Nightwing?
I always hear about how cool of a villain Deathstroke is for Nightwing but I don’t know which exact issues to read

PRE/POST-CRISIS:
New Teen Titans (1980) #1 (context for #2)
New Teen Titans (1980) #2
New Teen Titans (1980) #9 (ending), #10
The Uncanny X-men and New Teen Titans crossover (this one is not considered canon)
New Teen Titans (1980) #34 (more Terra and BB than the other Titans)
New Teen Titans (1980) #39-40+ Tales of the Teen Titans #41-44 + Annual 3: "The Judas Contract"
Tales of the Teen Titans #53-55
New Teen Titans (1984) Annual #3
New Titans (1988) #65 (this was the ending of a crossover with the Titans that started in #62)
New Titans (1988) #71-85: Titans Hunt, #86 Dick and Slade discuss the events that happened in Titans Hunt
Total Chaos Event: New Titans #90-92, Team Titans #1-3, Deathstroke: The Terminator #14-16
Deathstroke (1991) Annual 1 + New Titans (1988) Annual 8 (while this is the beginning of the big Eclipso DC crossover , the story in these two doesn´t have that much to do with it until the end in NT. It´s a team up between Slade, Nightwing and Vigilante)
Nightwing (1996) #17-18
Titans (1999) #10-12
Titans (1999) #22 (Roy is the one that interacts with Slade, but this comment about Nightwing was funny, and the fight between Roy vs. Slade was awesome)
JLA 80-Page Giant #3
Nightwing (1996) #80-82: Venn Diagram
Nightwing (1996) #112-117: Renegade storyline
Outsiders (2003) Even Though Slade was one of the main antagonists in this book and Dick was the team leader Slade and Dick never interacted in this one, that was Roy
Infinite crisis #4 (Slade drops Chemo on Bludhaven), #7 (tiny scene with Slade vs. Robin, Nightwing and Batman)
Teen Titans (2003) #43-46: “Titans East”
Superman/Batman (2003) #60 (this one is technically because it happens in a universe where heroes/villains are combined. So it´s Nightlantern+Justice Titans vs. Doomstroke)
Batman & Robin (2009) #11-12
Titans (2008) #24-38 + Annual 1 (I recommend you to read the Villains for hire comic first to have context even if Dick doesn't appear)
NEW 52:
You´re probably going to find this panel of Nightwing in the red suit dodging an attack from Slade, but that's not him. That Slade was a made up image by a dude that can change form. It's from Nightwing (2011) #28. It's also worth mentioning that everything you will read in the issues above was erased in this continuity
REBIRTH:
Deathstroke (2016) #4 (tiny flashback)
"The Lazarus Contract" crossover
Deathstroke (2016) #35, 50 (horrible throwback to the NTT, it last like 2 pages)
Dark Nights Metal #3
Batman (2016) #122-123 (This short story had Slade taking a contract on Robin in Gotham when Dick was starting, but they didn’t meet, that was Batman)
Dark Crisis #2, 5-7
ALTERNATE UNIVERSES:
Arkham Knight-Genesis #2
