    The opening monologue goes to show just how much Higgins doesn't understand Deathstroke. Deathstroke has always been about the honor of it all and has always been loyal to USA...

    My recommendation is to check it out, but don't buy unless you really like what you see.

It ALSO sets the tone of the issue, and sets things up to come around full circle with what could otherwise be a forgettable foe. The idea of what makes a 'Warrior' and the importance of a 'Legacy' are heavily emphasized, and it makes this issue feel deeper than the first two. The mystery of the briefcase is handled very well here. It's not quite dangled ...
