DC Icons Deathstroke (DC Collectibles)


Deathstroke the Terminator debuted in the second issue of New Teen Titans back in 1980 and quickly became the arch-nemesis for the new group. This figure is allegedly based on Slade Wilson's appearance in the classic storyline "The Judas Contract" which also featured Dick Grayson adopting his Nightwing identity. I actually read the last part of this storyline before any of the others as I found some New Teen Titans Annuals in the quarter bin at a used bookstore. This is pure 80's George Pérez design and the figure translates it fairly well. The accessories are decent but not amazing, the sword and sheath are great but the revolver doesn't fit its holster very well. Deathstroke is a classic complex villain that you love to hate and his current series from DC written by the great Christopher Priest is one of the few DC titles I'm currently following.
