    Let me begin by saying I'm not a Rob Liefeld hater. I recognize his flaws, but I still enjoy some of his work and I'm doing my best to go into his Deathstroke series with an open mind. But, half-way through reading the latest issue, I simply had to put it down and come rant. Remember the good old days of video games where a character could hold a dozen weapons and casually switch between them with no trouble whatsoever? That's what one action sequence feels like in this book. I don't have scans, so if someone wants to later provide visual aid, I'll throw them in the OP. In the meantime, here's what drove me mad.

    Panel: Deathstroke enters the facility holding two pistols (these will never be seen again).

    Very next panel: Deathstroke is holding an assault rifle (where'd this massive gun come from?).

    Next: Deathstroke is unarmed when he's struck in the back (in all fairness, could be dropping said massive firearm off panel during the strike).

    Next: Deathstroke is holding two swords (not sure where he's keeping these, because the grips on his back fit the large daggers, but those grips are now gone).

    Next: Deathstroke is unarmed.

    Next: Deathstroke lunges with a dagger.

    Next: Deathstroke uses the arm holding the dagger to punch the opponent, but said dagger is no longer there.

    Next: He's completely unarmed.

    Next: He's using one sword.

    Next: He's unarmed.

    Next: Using a dagger.

    Next: Unarmed.

    Usually I can tolerate inconsistencies in art. I didn't care that Damian's laces were different in a few shots in the latest Batman & Robin, nor did I care that Deathstroke has a red orb on his shoulder that only decides to exist during certain close ups. But this? This just felt so weird and I simply had to share with everyone. What do you all think? Did this catch anyone's eye when reading the latest issue as well?

    Join us the next time, when we see Liefield lie and say he created Deathstroke all by himself.

    Speaking of Jim Lee, I know he'd never admit this because he and Liefeld are friends, but its gotta be making him sick to his stomach seeing Liefeld mutilate his character.

    Clearly Liefeld's Deathstroke has access to a pocket dimension where he stores his weapons. Yeesh, not that hard to figure out.  
     
    But in all seriousness, Liefeld should be arrested and put down.

    Perhaps he has pocket dimension utility? Are we going with super science or magic excuse? As for the dagger disappearing he Deathstroke is a cheapskate bought one that has bugs in it.

    Anyways. I'll give him this much, I can look at the art without wanting to gouge out my eyes, now. He's still bad, but I guess that's an improvement. He still shouldn't of been let anywhere near this title.

    Alright guys, this is hilarious and shiz, but I've got a serious question here:

    WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO DEATHSTROKE'S OUTFIT?!

    Please tell me that that's not an actual thing now, please tell me it's just Liefield being an idiot! I mean, come on! What happened to this?:

    Because this costume is priceless, timeless, and just plain freakin' awesome! I mean, 'cause you got the pirate boots and the bright-orange man-panties-on-the-outside and the epic power-staff and the scales on the armor (I dunno what they were for but they were cool) and...just...DAFAQ HAPPENED?!

    (In case you couldn't tell, I haven't been keeping up with the comics lately, so I don't really know shiz other than Liefield needs a nice Slade-powered butt-whoopin'.)

    Judging from the other comments on this forum, it seems I'm among friends here. I loved Kyle Higgin's run with Deathstroke and this... this was just painful. I couldn't keep reading. There were just so many inconsistencies in the last two issues with art, writing, everything. Anyway, wake me when a good writer is called in.
