A fairly standard superhero adventure， nothing special。 Story-wise， fairly bare。 Too many characters present to really develop any intriguing development。 I'm not terribly familiar with the intricacies of Deathstroke's continuity either， which I think you need to be to really care about this story。 Art-wise， it's fine。 Very house style monthly art， nothing that makes you linger on a page to soak it all in。 Overall quite meh。 A fairly standard superhero adventure， nothing special。 Story-wise， fairly bare。 Too many characters present to really develop any intriguing development。 I'm not terribly familiar with the intricacies of Deathstroke's continuity either， which I think you need to be to really care about this story。 Art-wise， it's fine。 Very house style monthly art， nothing that makes you linger on a page to soak it all in。 Overall quite meh。 。。。more

Not that bad， but you probably have to know a bit more about the Lazarus pits to appreciate this。

There are some fun parts in here， but overall， I don't think it's clear WHAT the Lazarus Contract actually is？ Something in the past that has been reactivated now？ But what were the conditions？ Eh。And a couple of the characters do something really stupid （Kid Flash） or insanely dangerous （Robin）。I enjoyed the potential of what could come out of this， but thinking about the actual crossover， not sure it's good。。。 There are some fun parts in here， but overall， I don't think it's clear WHAT the Lazarus Contract actually is？ Something in the past that has been reactivated now？ But what were the conditions？ Eh。And a couple of the characters do something really stupid （Kid Flash） or insanely dangerous （Robin）。I enjoyed the potential of what could come out of this， but thinking about the actual crossover， not sure it's good。。。 。。。more

When the world's deadliest assassin acquires access to the speed force， it's a bad time for everyone involved。 Deathstroke might be the Titans deadliest foe。 They have battled many times before， but never quite like this， never with Deathstroke able to run as fast as Wally。 And how did he get as fast as Wally？ He kidnaps both and steals the younger Wally's speed。 As always， these types of stories highlight just how deadly Deathstroke is as a villain/fighter。 He once again proves that his deadlie When the world's deadliest assassin acquires access to the speed force， it's a bad time for everyone involved。 Deathstroke might be the Titans deadliest foe。 They have battled many times before， but never quite like this， never with Deathstroke able to run as fast as Wally。 And how did he get as fast as Wally？ He kidnaps both and steals the younger Wally's speed。 As always， these types of stories highlight just how deadly Deathstroke is as a villain/fighter。 He once again proves that his deadliest weapon is his mind。 I thought Priest's take on Deathstroke was especially well suited for the story， as he is more of a no nonsense type of character under his tutelage。 The art on this book is great。 It has a rotating case who handles the art including Norm Rapmund， Brett Booth， Phil Hester， Paul Pelletier， Carlo Pagulayan。。。 and really they all did a fantastic job。 Even Booth， who's art isn't my cup of tea， did a really good job on keeping the book looking dynamic and exciting。There were some issues with pacing， as well as just general plot issues as well （why did Deathstroke wait years to do this？） but overall， a good entry into the Deathstroke vs Titans type stories。 This volume shows how deadly and scary Deathroke is as a villain - the showdown between （older） Wally and Deathstroke with super speed was revealing， as Wally literally runs away once he realizes he is outmatched， was an especially good highlight of the deadliness of Deathsroke。 Recommended for fans of the Titans and fans of the DC universe in general。 。。。more

I've been enjoying the Titans run so far， but this。。。 didn't really do it for me。 It was an ambitious crossover to have so many characters in one storyline， but this resulted in a story that was difficult to follow and a lot of character reactions that I didn't get。 The first part was enjoyable， but towards the middle it became less engaging and more difficult to follow， and the pacing felt off throughout the story。 I didn't particularly like or understand the ending either， but that may be beca I've been enjoying the Titans run so far， but this。。。 didn't really do it for me。 It was an ambitious crossover to have so many characters in one storyline， but this resulted in a story that was difficult to follow and a lot of character reactions that I didn't get。 The first part was enjoyable， but towards the middle it became less engaging and more difficult to follow， and the pacing felt off throughout the story。 I didn't particularly like or understand the ending either， but that may be because I don't know a lot about Deathstroke。 Overall， this was a bit frustrating。 。。。more

Am I supposed to hate Robin？ Cause he is a little brat in this。 Reading this as a part of the Titans series， so don't know what is going on in the Teen Titans part of the comics， but holy crop Robin was annoying。 Raven and Teen Titan Wally were good， Beast Boy and Aqualad？ and the rest of the Titans had nothing much to do， except Wally who is great。 Am I supposed to hate Robin？ Cause he is a little brat in this。 Reading this as a part of the Titans series， so don't know what is going on in the Teen Titans part of the comics， but holy crop Robin was annoying。 Raven and Teen Titan Wally were good， Beast Boy and Aqualad？ and the rest of the Titans had nothing much to do， except Wally who is great。 。。。more

I think this book suffers from too many characters。。。 The Titans。 The past Titans （who were the Teen Titans at that point in their careers）。 The current Teen Titans。 Death Stroke。 All of Death Stroke’s children， past and present。 My head is spinning just writing that。 It just made it all hard to follow。

I’ve only been reading Teen Titans since the DC Rebirth， so it’s possible I’m missing some subtleties here。。。。 but I’m a little underwhelmed by this book。 I love me a time travel story and the premise of this one sounded interesting。 And it started off strong。。。 but kinda just fizzled out。 The later section of the book just felt a bit “choppy” to me。 A lot of switching and changing and not a lot of explaining and I finished the book feeling more than a little confused。

Death stroke is back in the Titans life， after blaming them for his sons death he looks to go back in time to right what he sees as a wrong。This book was really well written and told a great story， Slade was really interesting to read in this book， to see him be desperate and almost vulnerable。Also to see the two Titans teams come together to fight this fight was good to see。

Sooooo boring， absolute garbage。This book proves my dislike of Wallace west， like he literally almost destroys the world giving his powers to deathstroke， he is the cause of the madness。The writing is absolutely boring these is no good dialogue， no humour， no emotion， just dialogue。 It felt like talking to a robot。The only issue I like is the last one with deathstroke it’s pretty cool and nice and I might give Christopher priest another chanceIn the end don’t buy this， get it from the library。
