In the second part of the “Defiance” storyline, Slade Wilson is still claiming to have turned over a new leaf as his team of young, largely well-meaning heroes gets its first taste of action. They’re dispatched to a small island nation to regain control of the United States Embassy, only to find themselves battling an army of light constructs calling themselves the Radiant Men. Meanwhile, there’s some action taking place in Chinatown, and Jack Nicholson is nowhere in sight. (Guess he really did forget about it.)

What does one event have to do with the other? In all likelihood, we won’t learn the answer to that for several issues, but you can get an early glimpse of the action by checking out our exclusive preview of DEATHSTROKE #22 right now!


DEATHSTROKE #22 by Christopher Priest, Diogenes Neves, Jason Paz, Sean Parsons and Jeromy Cox is in stores this Wednesday.
