About the author
Paul Dini
726 books718 followersPaul Dini is an American television producer of animated cartoons. He is best known as a producer and writer for several Warner Bros./DC Comics series, including Star Wars: Ewoks, Tiny Toon Adventures, Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, The New Batman/Superman Adventures, Batman Beyond and Duck Dodgers. He also developed and scripted Krypto the Superdog and contributed scripts to Animaniacs (he created Minerva Mink), Freakazoid, Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. After leaving Warner Bros. In early 2004, Dini went on to write and story edit the popular ABC adventure series Lost.
Paul Dini was born in New York City. He attended the Stevenson School in Pebble Beach, California on an art scholarship. He attended Emerson College in Boston, where he earned a BFA degree in creative writing. (He also took zoology classes at Harvard University.)
During college, he began doing freelance animation scripts for Filmation, and a number of other studios. In 1984, he was hired to work for George Lucas on several of his animation projects.
The episodes of the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon that were written by Dini have become favorites amongst the show's fans over the internet, although despite this as well as contributing to interviews on the released box sets of the series, Dini has made no secret of his distaste for Filmation and the He-Man concept. He also wrote an episode of the Generation One Transformers cartoon series and contributed to various episodes of the Ewoks animated series, several of which included rare appearances from the Empire.
In 1989, he was hired at Warner Bros. Animation to work on Tiny Toon Adventures. Later, he moved onto Batman: The Animated Series, where he worked as a writer, producer and editor, later working on Batman Beyond. He continued working with WB animation, working on a number of internal projects, including Krypto the Superdog and Duck Dodgers, until 2004.
He has earned five Emmy awards for his animation work. In a related effort, Dini was also the co-author (with Chip Kidd) of Batman Animated, a 1998 non-fiction coffee table book about the animated Batman franchise.
Dini has also written several comics stories for DC Comics, including an acclaimed oversized graphic novel series illustrated by painter Alex Ross. (A hardcover collection of the Dini and Ross stories was published in late summer 2005 under the title The World's Greatest Superheroes.) Other books written by Dini for DC have featured his Batman Animated creation Harley Quinn as well as classic characters Superman, Batman, Captain Marvel and Zatanna.
Best known among Dini's original creations is Jingle Belle, the rebellious teen-age daughter of Santa Claus. Dini also created Sheriff Ida Red, the super-powered cowgirl star of a series of books set in Dini's mythical town of Mutant, Texas. Perhaps his greatest character contribution is the introduction of Harley Quinn (along with designs by Bruce Timm) on Batman: The Animated Series.
In 2001 Dini made a cameo appearance in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back during the scene in which Jay and Silent Bob wear ridiculous looking costumes for a film being directed by Chris Rock, in which Dini says to them "you guys look pretty bad ass".
In 2006, Dini became the writer for DC Comics' Detective Comics. That same year, he announced that he was writing a hardcover graphic novel starring Zatanna and Black Canary. In 2007, he was announced as the head writer of that company's weekly series, Countdown. Paul Dini is currently co-writing the script for the upcoming Gatchaman movie. Dini is also currently writing a series for Top Cow Productions, based in a character he created, Madame Mirage.
Paul Dini is an active cryptozoologist, hunter and wildlife photographer. On a 1985 trip to Tasmania, he had a possible sighting of a Thylacine. He has also encountered a number of venomous snakes, a Komodo Dragon and a charging Sumatran Rhi

Fun issue and I'm just glad this Deathstroke story is at least over as it was starting to get old.

Tak nevím nevím, je to sice zábava ale všechno na mě působí hrozně zrychleně. První tři sešity plynuly poměrně pomalu ale teď se toho děje strašně moc až mi to docela vadí. Příběh nám končí úplně otevřeně což samozřejmě láká na pokračování a stále se nevyřešily otázky ze začátku série :D
Bohužel cítím trošku pachuť ale uvidíme až si to přečtu celý na jeden zátah.

Mentors: the finale
Wow what a finale!!! This is probably my favourite interpretation of Slade Wilson and the story is Brilliantly paced, beautifully drawn and another cracking ending hinting at more to come...

Bye bye Slade. You're not even that cool.

Fun issue, and the finale of the Deathstroke and Firefly storyline. Settling in really nicely, although I've read issues 9-12, and I know this is setting that up: it's fun reading the backstory to that, but I suspect I'd like this even without that setup.
Settled into it's rhythm nicely, but I suspect Dini having written for and spearheaded the show this was based on helps: knowing the world this was set in as intimately as he did had to help!
Looking forward to continuing this.

Based on the animated series
Great comic, if you're a fan of the classic 90s cartoon, it picks up right where the show left off

Loved it!

Exciting conclusion to this section of the story. Robin is whiny but the cliffhanger makes up for it.

Please no more Deathstroke. Was there a giant demand for him to be added to the comics? What about all the loose threads left hanging at the end of the last comic run?

They did a great job with Deathstroke and the fire here.
