What happens when Batman and the ruthless villain, Deathstroke, begin an all-out war? Find out in the second installment of the “DEATHSTROKE VS. BATMAN” story arc in DEATHSTROKE #31!

Now, if you don’t want to wait until May 2nd to know what goes down, ComicsVerse has you covered. We have an exclusive sneak peek at what’s to come in the highly-anticipated issue, right here!

According to DC Comics’ synopsis of DEATHSTROKE #31, the issue will feature:

“The war between Deathstroke and Batman escalates when the Dark Knight foils one of Deathstroke’s assassination attempts! Meanwhile, a mysterious package brings Commissioner Gordon to Bruce Wayne’s doorstep, and Adeline Kane — Slade Wilson’s ex — sets her sights on Batman!”

Now, that doesn’t sound like a battle you’d want to miss!

Our exclusive preview, which is available below, features the introduction to that battle. It includes a brief exploration of Slade Wilson’s origins. He is presented as a character who has always operated without remorse. Additionally, he has never been one for rules. He will ultimately sacrifice anything to obtain his objective. As a result, this willingness to do what he perceives to be necessary is ultimately what makes Deathstroke a formidable adversary.

After this brief backstory on Wilson, the issue segues into a dramatic plane crash that threatens the lives of Wilson and Billy Wintergreen. Due to Wilson’s enhanced strength though, he survives the crash and finds himself face to face with The Dark Knight himself! DEATHSTROKE #31 already seems to be a non-stop action thriller! The question that remains though is, who will win the war between Deathstroke and Batman?

Unfortunately, you are going to have to wait until next week to get that answer. Until then though, you can check out ComicsVerse’s exclusive preview for DEATHSTROKE #31 that also includes an epic variant cover from artist Jerome Opeña.

So, be there May 2nd to witness the war between two DC Comics icons!
