Deadshot takes center stage! He's always been a killer, but now the urge to kill everyone is threatening to take him over completely. Can the mercenary pull himself out of these murderous depths? Or will he drown in the murky waters of his own addiction to death? Guest-written by John Ostrander, whose fan-favorite run on SUICIDE SQUAD helped define Deadshot.
I've always been a fan of Dead Shot but this issue made me an even bigger fan. Control really takes you into the mind of one of the greatest comic book villains around. John Ostrander does a tremendous job getting into the mind of Dead Shot and gets to the roots of why he is in his current state of mind: wanting to kill everyone he sees. Through all this, you end up sympathizing with him. I especially enjoyed the flashback to his first encounter with Batman. The art inside is fantastic as is the cover. If you don't normally read Secret Six this could be a good starting point as they just finished a lengthy story arc.
