Deathstroke Series Coming From Tony S. Daniel in October

Deathstroke the Terminator will return in his own ongoing series for the third time in DC Comics history (and the second time since the launch of the New 52) this fall, MTV News reports.

Trading on his popularity as the big bad of Arrow's second season, Slade Wilson leads the new Suicide Squad in a series that launched today, but that's not enough for DC, who will give Deathstroke his own title in the fall from Tony S. Daniel and Sandu Floreau.

"Deathstroke will certainly forge his own path here. What the Arrow series does though, is make me want to put Green Arrow and Deathstroke together at some point," Daniel said. "I'm sure that's in the cards down the road, and it doesn't hurt that I've also been a long time Green Arrow fan. Will they work together or be enemies, that's the question I'll have the answer to if and when we get to that point."

The series will join a reconfigured Wonder Woman in what looks to be another month of fairly major reinvention for DC's New 52 publishing line.

"I've always been a big Deathstroke fan, dating back to my teenage years and he's only gotten more bad-ass with time. He's an incredible character, whether you're playing him in a video game or watching him on TV or reading him in a comic book. People love Deathstroke now more than ever due to all the avenues he's available in, myself included," Daniel explained. "I tell people he's sort of like a tricked out Batman, but he'll kill you. Of course he's not anything like Bruce Wayne, but he is a man with money and the means to pay for the gadgets and weaponry he'll need to accomplish any goal. I've always been drawn to characters with a dark side and I think that makes him complex and compelling."
