Is Priest's Deathstroke the first time you've ever found the character entertaining, in comics?
Like, most of the times I've read his appearances he either comes off as a sad joke (what kind of hardcore military badass gets chumped by a team half made up of sidekicks, half made up of angsty teens?) or a shallow omnicompetent uber badass like some Coldsteel the Hedegg shit
But the current run of Deathstroke has given him an interesting supporting cast (that he has shitty relationships with) and are a fun throwback to paramilitary hijinx comics from the 90s.
I mean, maybe I missed the books he was good in before, but this is the first time I've actually liked the character outside of the Teen Titans cartoon where he was a cross between Hannibal Lecter, Darth Vader, and a child molester
Joshua Foster
Definitely the most I've ever been interested in the character.
Lucas Jackson
I liked him in YJ and Slade was cool. Otherwise yes.
Nathaniel Diaz
They say this cat Priest is a bad mother.

No, Deathstroke the Terminator by Marv Wolfman, Steve Erwin, and other artists is still my favorite thing with the character.
Also the issues Steve Grant wrote are good too
Carson Young
I'm big on the Wolfman.
Aiden Morales
Shut your mouth
Nolan Ramirez
He's a complicated man, but no one understands him but his bus.
Joseph Price
Why does he look like Jimi Hendrix
Jordan Gray
This series was shit though. Slade with a code of honor and a conscience is fucking boring. Wolfman was always trying to turn him into a Wolverine clone.
The Priest run and the first 7 or so issues of the New 52 run are the best things featuring the character.
Anthony Baker
People shit on the Tony S. Daniel run but the Godkiller storyline was a lot of fun as well even though they essentially turned Slade into the Garth Ennis version of Nick Fury.
Evan Miller
>villains should be one-dimensional No thanks.
Easton Murphy
Slade's definitely better the more one dimensional he is. I've always thought of him as the DC equivalent to the Lee Van Cleef character from the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. He should never be more complicated than that.
Caleb Miller

Easton Diaz
deathstroke was never interesting. there's not a single aspect of him with any more depth than coldsteel the hedgehog
Kayden Moore
Cool story, bro.
Dominic Green
I only like him when he's having fucked up relationships with his kids.
Nicholas Davis
Trying to make slade out to be some honorable anti-hero cheapens the character to me.
Henry Gonzalez
There are more kinds of complexity than moral ambiguity. You can have a genuinely good character that's three dimensional and a genuinely evil character.
Ethan Ross
>cheapens You mean your brain cannot process it?

In the 80s. You know, pre-Batgod, when being a basic human going toe to toe with these people was impressive in its own right.
Jack Morgan
how about the most obvious of complexities, a conflict of interest/cognitive dissonance.
