These days, it seems like everything is coming up Deathstroke. The super-powered mercenary has enjoyed major roles in The CW’s Arrow and the recent Arkham Origins video game. Slade Wilson also featured in DC’s Forever Evil mini-series, which set the stage for his presence in New Suicide Squad (launching this month).
But even though Slade will be a member of Task Force X, DC is giving him another shot at his own solo series. Today, DC announced via MTV that a new Deathstroke comic will debuting in October. The new series will be written and illustrated by Tony Daniel, with Sandu Florea on inks. Daniel has worked on several New 52 projects as writer and/or artist, including Detective Comics, Action Comics, The Savage Hawkman, and Superman/Wonder Woman.
