Titans #22 Preview: Deathstroke’s Deadly Comeback

I’ve got some exciting news for all the Titans fans out there. The world’s deadliest mercenary is making a comeback, and he’s got his sights set on our favorite team of heroes. We’re talking about Slade Wilson, better known as Deathstroke, who’s been a thorn in the Titans’ side for years. This villain has a long history of causing trouble, and now he’s back with a new plan to take down the team.

If you’ve been following the Titans series, you know Deathstroke has been out of the picture for a while. Many thought he was gone for good after his apparent death. But in true comic book fashion, he’s found a way to return, and he’s not coming alone.

He’s putting together a fresh crew of villains to help him in his fight against the Titans, setting the stage for an intense showdown.

According to Titans #22, this issue dives deep into how Deathstroke managed to cheat death and come back stronger than ever. The release date for this can’t-miss issue is April 16, 2025, so mark your calendars if you want to see how this deadly mercenary pulls off his resurrection. The story promises to reveal the secrets behind his survival and his new mission to destroy the Titans.

Deathstroke has always been a fan-favorite villain in the DC universe. First appearing in ‘The New Teen Titans’ #2 back in 1980, created by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, he’s known for his incredible combat skills, strategic mind, and signature look with the black-and-orange mask. He’s not just a hired gun—he’s a master manipulator who often plays the long game, making him a dangerous foe for any hero.

In this issue, we’ll see Deathstroke take on the Titans in a way we haven’t seen before. He’s not just fighting for revenge—he’s building a team to match the Titans’ strength, which means the stakes are higher than ever.

The Titans, led by heroes like Nightwing, Starfire, and Raven, will have to bring their A-game to stop him. If you’re a fan of action-packed stories with a mix of drama and betrayal, this issue is one you won’t want to miss.

For those who want to dive deeper into Deathstroke’s history with the Titans, you might also want to check out ‘Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths’ #7 and ‘Deathstroke’ #24, as mentioned in the comic. These stories give more context on his past battles and might hint at what’s driving him now. I’m already counting down the days to see how this battle unfolds. How about you?
