ON SALE 3/22/22Father versus daughter as Slade Wilson’s daughter Ravager guest-stars!
Ravager wants to know why Deathstroke has claimed the title of “King of the Super-Villains” and brings along the mysterious Respawn with her. Past secrets explode with a cliffhanger that leads directly into the “Shadow War” crossover!
ReSpawn is unmasked and revealed to be…
…a clone of the genetic material of Deathstroke and Talia Al Ghul.
Ra’s Al Ghul was behind this macabre plan that had ReSpawn’s purpose as…
…an organ and tissue harvest for Ra’s Al Ghul’s grandson Damian Wayne aka Robin.
He escaped and went to Lazarus Island…
…where Robin was set to compete; ReSpawn and Ravager did as well.
Deathstroke is angry with Ra’s Al Ghul and embraces ReSpawn as a son who betrays Ravager for her / their father Deathstroke.
The book ends with Legion of Doom wondering what Slade Wilson leading the Society of Super-Villains means for them, but…
…it’ll play out in DC Comics’ big summer event Dark Crisis.
The Pulse:
A frenetically paced issue with lots of developments. Interesting to see ReSpawn’s secret origin revealed and his turn on Ravager. Intrigued by the Shadow War and Dark Crisis to come. Solid art. 8.5 out of 10.
