Christopher Priest

Deathstroke by Christopher Priest Omnibus is less a mercenary action run than a broken-family thriller with superhero weapons. Priest fractures time, motive and perspective until Slade Wilson becomes impossible to read cleanly: father, manipulator, soldier, abuser, strategist and self-made disaster. Carlo Pagulayan and Fernando Pasarin keep the book visually grounded while the script refuses easy morality. This is the modern Deathstroke character study, not just a Rebirth action collection.
