Monday, July 4th, 2016My Deathstroke promo is (finally) up. Final ordering cutoff (FOC, which I thought meant Friends Of Charlie) is coming up, so please spread the word and this link: ChristopherPriest.Com/Deathstroke. I’ve never been more nervous about a new title launch. This is a book most readers will either love or hate because it both reinforces classic history and reinterprets it. The characters are exactly the same and completely different. Will Deathstroke fans like what we’re doing, or will the Rebirth enrage them?
The answer is yes.
If you have never before in life read Deathstroke, please feel invited to jump in. Absolutely no prior knowledge of Deathstroke, his supporting cast, New 52 or even the Rebirth event itself is necessary to begin reading this book. Deathstroke: Rebirth may well be the most accessible comic I’ve ever written, and “The Professional,” our first story arc, is a rebuilding arc designed to reintroduce characters and concepts created by Marv Wolfman and bring them into 2016.
Credit where credit is due: Civil War
Sunday, May 8th, 2016Respawning here since it’s going on the Deathstroke discussion and doesn’t really follow that topic.
Among the “thank you” credits in Captain America: Civil War was a nod to Priest and Tex for general work on Panther and specifically the character of Everett K. Ross. (Eventually someone will come up with a picture of the credits screen.)
Deathstroke Rebirth
Saturday, March 26th, 2016Today DC announced all the Rebirth creative teams, and the biggest splash in social media (well, it was the only one consistently trending on twitter, at least) was Deathstroke, written by Priest and with art by Carlo Pagualayan.
I’m sure Priest will have his own post to make about the matter soon enough, but since people are coming here looking for discussion on the book, here’s a place to do it!
