I hate series that end, but don’t. And I hate series that pull the bait and switch. I almost gave up on this series after the first issue. I don’t like Deathstroke and this Slade-centric series was just meh, but the solicits for the second issue pushed Vandal Savage as the big bad. Vandal did show up in issue 2 but otherwise has not been in the rest of the series. And this wrapped up the story leaving Vandal as the big bad completely unresolved. I’m guessing there will be another series in the Dark Knights of Steel franchise, but with the exception of Rose Wilson being in this, this story was just dull and predictable.

Vaya... termino de constatar que lo que más me gustaba de esto era la serie paralela del Aquaman de este Elseworld. Me ha pegado fuerte la ausencia en este número final de una aventura que termina pareciéndome totalmente casual, convirtiendo a este pequeño Alec Holland en un mcguffin con patas que bien podría haber avanzado de verdad su conexión con el Verde. El Viking Deathstroke demuestra que le quedan muy grandes las botas para jugar a emular al Kratos de los nuevos videojuegos y Jay kristoff debería aprender a divertirse de verdad con la posibilidad de este Universo DCita más que solo tener estos personajes preestablecidos para no salir de su estudiado estilo de narrativa fantasy young adult.

As this is the final issue of the series, I'm counting it as a complete book read.

I overall really enjoyed this series. I was so excited about another Dark Knights of Steel arc because I really loved the original one. I wasn't disappointed by this sequel either. It was another fun read with different ways of seeing the characters while maintaining their personas. I just didn't like the ending of this one--everything got wrapped up so quickly after being a conflict for over 5 issues.

Overall, I strongly recommend this series and, like the original one, would be happy to reread this one day!

Pretty impressive to make me empathize with Slade Wilson.

This was an impressive series. Awesome story, gorgeous art and use of colour. An easy 5 stars.

Great ending

Loved this whole series. It was a nice story with a fairy tale ending. Can't wait to see more from this universe.
