I see The Spot is finally facing someone on his level.

Batman mentions Deathstroke has enhanced strength, speed and healing factor yet koed him once he got angry.

The fact that this is under Priest, in Deathstroke's own title, is insane.

Batman didn't ko DS though.

EDIT: Not intending to downplay the fight though.

I took it as Slade was nearly koed by punches and then koed by the fall.

I agree

He impaled Batman with his last breath, until they both fell unconscious, from the dinosaur.

To me it appeared it was the fall but on second view his fading words (smaller getting font) might imply that you're right.

I don't really want to start an argument if it was the fall or the stab and the blows that ultimately made them pass out because it would be really nitpicking on minor shit. It just appears awkward if Batman takes a stab without even feeling it and being KOed from it right after.

I can actually see both being the reason and it doesn't really change much in the end.

Fight was good 👆

Spawn:

Love the artwork. 👆

Slade was clearly holding back, taunting Batman. Even while taking that beating, Slade casually stabs him in a non vital area.

We all know if he wanted to kill Batman, he would have killled him.

Yeah, as we can see on this page, where Batman clearly says to Deathstroke "You won't kill me...though you would if not for whatever it is holding you back":

Oh....wait.

Batman Deathstroke clearly says to Deathstroke Batman

But, let's keep this for other threads. Or better reading of the comics themselves 👆

I thought that was Greg Land, but when I saw the quality I was "How? He doesn't trace characters/objects that well, and they're not all moaning".

Suffice to say, this is quality.

The Star Wars comics have some of the consistently best artwork out there, imo. Granted some issues are a bit cringey, but for the most part it's pretty fantastic, tbh.

*And the artist is Salvador Larroca.

This looks like the mcu. I've thought for a while that they should do an ongoing comic line that takes place in the mcu to further flesh it out.

Galan will find this interesting. I wonder which cosmics Grant Morrison will use?

that's the thing, I don't think Johns can write cosmic story as grand and epic as Morrison

Morrison's stories are thick, there would be multiple characters on one panel, sometimes characters you never know about that look super interesting, it always make you feel the world is bigger and more mysterious than what is shown on panel. leaving space for imagination. there are science magic and subtexts everywhere. even implication beyond story itself

Johns likes to simplify things, let's dissect the cosmic forces into different colors and give hollywood big budget style grand battle. the universe johns wrote thus seem smaller. what you see is what there is.

Classic example would be comparin final crisis to blackest night

It is, I'm not really a fan.
