End of the Hunted
It´s Deathstroke against the New Titans and Rose against Ravager! But it´s not as exciting as the cover shows, quite the way around it, it´s a bummer! What could have be a great series, turned out quite a disapointment. And unfortunally I blame Wolfman who couldn´t hold the integrity of the story: there are so many holes in it, it´s worse than swiss cheese. Check out how last issue ended:
I thought it would be cool getting to know a little more about Deathstroke, since I´m not familiarized with him, and since Sergio Cariello was the artist of this series I took a shot in the dark and I got to say that it wasn´t quite the ride I expected!
The art was very consistent, it had a little bumps in the road, but nothing out of the extraordinary.
But the writing was awfull!!! Marv Wolfman did some good things, of course, but I guess he wasn´t adapted for doing stories with continuity, that wasn´t something commom back then in the late 80ies and beggining of the 90ies, that´s a writing model that only got strong after the year 2000, which is we are living now: stories that goes on for 5 issues or more.
The good thing about this series was learning more about Deathstroke´s friends, getting to know the early years of Rose (just a little girl) and the whole Crimelord thing (which was the original story and Wolfman just forgot about it!.
I think this is a script that had everything to be great, but I don´t know why Wolfman couldn´t deliver the story "Hunted", since what he finished was a total mess.
2.5 out 5 (but looking at the whole series - issues # 0 and 41 to 45 I give a 4)
