Lazarus Contract… here we go!
DC Comics Rebirth and Lazarus Contract Part 1 Spoilers follow for Titans #11!
We open Titans #11 in the past. This reestablishes Deathstroke’s origins. His son Grant Wilson has a contract to take out the then New Teen Titans, but…
…despite his best efforts…
..dies in the process. Deathstroke, aka Slade Wilson, holds animosity for the original Teen Titans ever since.
This pretty much how Deathstroke’s first appearance worked in 1980’s New Teen Titans #2…
…as you can see…
…thus overwriting the New 52 take on Grant Wilson / The Ravager.
Well, in modern day, Deathstroke has capture Wally West, the current co Flash alongside Barry Allen, as presumably the Speedforce can bring his son Grant Wilson, formerly the Ravager, back from the dead.
Wally escapes, but…
..encounters his younger cousin Wally West who is the Kid Flash of the current Teen Titans.
For some reason, younger Wally doesn’t recognize younger Wally!
More to come in this 4-part Lazarus Contract x-over wit:h DC Rebirth titles Titans, Teen Titans and Deathstroke plus a one shot finale.
