Deathstroke Suggested Reading List!

Superman, Batman, the Flash, and other comic book characters have inspired many suggested reading lists for fans new and old to further explore their rich and glorious histories. I felt it was well past time for Deathstroke the Terminator to have such a list. My intention for this list is for it to be dynamic, as more Deathstroke adventures come to light. Think of this as just the starting point for a Deathstroke suggested reading list; a list that never ends. I have also decided to list the individual titles and issues that the stories were originally published rather than trying to sort out multiple hardcover collections and trade paperbacks in which these stories are reprinted. So check it out below, read some great mercenary action stories, and enjoy the world's deadliest assassin: Deathstroke the Terminator!

Notes
:
(1) Deathstroke only appears in issues #3-7, 9-10, and 12, but his role is large enough to warrant a spot on this list.

(2) Teen Titans (2003) #1/2 was a Wizard Magazine mail-in offer. The only publication date listed for this issue was January 2004 but it is listed with a publication date of 1/1/2004 on this list simply to adhere to the date format used for this sortable list.

(3) Deathstroke only appears in issues #41-43, but his role is large enough for this story to warrant a spot on this list.
