    Reintroducing Deadshot

    This cover really grabbed me and said "Buy me!". I wasn't disappointed . It was a great read. I really enjoyed this series by Englehart and Rogers. Deadshot is a great character and I loved this issue which reintroduced him to Batmans world.   He reminded me of  (at the time) Bullseye from Marvels Daredevil book another great villian. I love the way Deadshot is designed by Rogers .Ditkoish! Steve Englehart gives Batman a steady girlfriend  which the Batman needs and wasn't given a whole lot  back then. He also gives us a great lead in to the story with the Penguin in jail and Floyd/Deadshot's escape which I thought was great. He gives us a look back at Floyd's/Deadshot's history and a look forward to prepare for the Joker next issue. Marshall Rogers really gives us a great and memorable meeting with Boss Thorne that demonstrates why he is (in my opinion)one of the best pencillers to ever draw Batman. Overall an entertaining issue even though Deadshots capture came all to fast and he misses his target mainly because he is so mad. It leaves us wanting to see more of this newly reintroduced villian.
