Deathstroke Vol. 1: The Professional

Description

Deathstroke Vol. 1: The Professional brings back one of the DC Universe's most dangerous mercenaries in a new Rebirth era storyline. Slade Wilson, known as Deathstroke, is a legendary assassin with thousands of enemies and even more eliminated targets to his name.

A mission in a war-torn African state brings Deathstroke together with an old comrade and reveals shocking information – a bounty has been placed on his own daughter, Rose Wilson, also known as Ravager.

To save his daughter's life, Slade is forced to break his own professional code. However, his biggest problem might not be his enemies, but rather his addiction to violence, which he cannot seem to shake.

Deathstroke must overcome a deadly series of trials and save not only his daughter, but also his family, honor, and his own life.

Deathstroke Vol. 1: The Professional collects the Deathstroke: Rebirth one-shot and Deathstroke #1-5.
