I have to go with the Judas Contract on this one:

Yeah, the actual story arc played out over Tales of the Teen Titans #42, #43, #44, and Tales of the Teen Titans Annual #3, but it connected to so many thinks Wolfman and Perez introduced through the beginning of their run. Deathstroke picked up on Ravager's old contract with H.I.V.E., we got Deathstroke's origin story, we were introduced to Jericho and Terra, Terra betrayed the team, Dick Grayson took on the identity of Nightwing for the first time, there is so much stuff here, and it only covered 4 issues! This is the callback storyline I always go to when I discuss with others how dangerous Deathstroke could be. Of course he's got enhanced physicals, but the patience and mentality to come up with this plan? The prep work involved? Getting Terra on the team, and getting the Titans to trust her, even with her deteriorating mental state? That mind is what makes Deathstroke truly scary.
I've always enjoyed comics, but in my opinion, The Judas Contract is real storytelling.
