5/19/19: At this point, my suggested issues per volume is way off from what DC is actually doing. The third volume in the Deathstroke series is Deathstroke the Terminator: Nuclear Winter, reprinting issues #14-20. With this third volume, DC is only halfway through what I suggested as Volume 2. That's okay though. At the time, I was trying to group a year's worth of issues together per trade- striving for equal-sized volumes per series. DC's grouping story arcs, and that's ultimately better.

For the cover, DC used Deathstroke the Terminator #20. Ironic that #20 says "BLOW UP!" on the cover, because that's exactly what they did for the trade's cover- blow up the image. Looks good. I do think it's odd that they used the last issue in the collection for the cover, but the start of this volume is the Total Chaos issues, so it wouldn't really fit. #20 does seem to be the best choice. So what about it? Did you buy it?
