Deathstroke dives right into the action (figuratively and literally) as he jumps out of a plane to save president bland from a rebellion.

Rose is still processing the fact that her father took a hit out on her and getting absolutely no sympathy from *Spoiler* her brother Joseph who isn’t dead after all. He tells her he is getting married to his translator (he can’t talk apart from via a subvocal mic) before being interrupted by Mr. Isherwood.

A lot of the jumble from the first issues get ironed out here with the storylines and characters becoming involved again and become clearer.

The biggest shock comes from the relationship between Joseph and Mr. Isherwood/Dr. Icon which has a twist that comes from out of the blue and could have serious repercussions in future issues as well as the pretty hardcore outcome of their talk which ends the issue.

I love the artwork on Deathstroke, the explosions jump out of the page and the lions in this issue were awesome really good comic run so far
