What more can I say?

With the upcoming “Broken Promises” storyline, the TITANS are about to experience a time of change, and surprisingly the biggest change is coming to its leader Slade Wilson, a.k.a. Deathstroke. With some insight into Slade and the TITANS’ transformation, is series writer Eric Wallace.

“Titans #33 kicks off a new 4-part story called “Broken Promises,” and it’s a plotline that’s going to change Deathstroke’s team forever. But even more important is how it changes Deathstroke himself. Slade’s been pretty cold-hearted up to now in running these new Titans. That’s because he has an uber-mission to complete, one that’s only been hinted at up to now. Well, the endgame of that plan is finally revealed in “Broken Promises.” But it’s not just Slade’s present that gets illuminated. It’s his past, too. One of the things the entire creative team wanted to do with “Broken Promises” was to really dig deeply into how and why Slade became the man he is today. The shattered oath referred to in this arc’s title is one of those key moments that ended up defining Slade. Whether that change turned out to be for better or worse will be up to the readers to decide!

“Broken Promises” also refers to the various oaths that Slade made to his Titans. This includes getting rid of a new villain, Drago, for Cheshire. This is something Slade promised to do for her back in the “Titans: Villains For Hire Special #1.” Well, we finally get to meet Drago in Titans #33. But as it turns out, getting rid of him is going to be a lot harder than Slade expects. Plus there’s the fact that Cheshire’s still really, really angry about getting shot back in Titans #25. Needless to say, she’s going to break a promise, too, and the result is a very bad day for Deathstroke.

There are a few other big surprises coming throughout the “Broken Promises” storyline, which runs through Titans #36. One of these includes how Osiris deals with his sister Isis’s resurrection. We’ll also see the return of a former Titan in an unexpected battle with one of my favorite members of the JLA, Vixen.”

So, Rip Hunter convinced Booster to go to the 25th century and stand trial for stealing the equipment that he used to become a superhero.

The verdict? Guilty!

Now, Booster’s got to spend five years in prison for his crimes. But things quickly take a turn for the unusual when he meets his cellmate – The Perforated Man – a mentally unstable inmate who seems to hate Booster and not know him at the same time.

Check the story out in BOOSTER GOLD #42, on sale March 9.

There are few better ways to start a workday than by posting a killer Action Comics cover. This one comes from the incredibly talented Kenneth Rocafort, whose issue #901 cover we showed off here a while back, and will be joining Paul Cornell to handle art duties on the series starting in ACTION COMICS #900.

Here are a few words about Kenneth Rocafort from Associate Editor Wil Moss:

“We knew we needed really powerful covers for a story as big as ‘Reign of Doomsday,’ but who could possibly fill those shoes? Enter Art Director Mark Chiarello, who drew our attention to the amazing artwork of Mr. Kenneth Rocafort. Once we saw it, we KNEW Kenneth was the perfect guy for these covers — an artist who could really hammer home how bombastic and brutal this ‘Reign of Doomsday’ story is gonna be!”

ACTION COMICS #902 hits stores in June.

A few weeks back, we posted an open call for questions about FLASHPOINT with promises of answers to come and to end this week’s FLASHPOINT FRIDAY, DC Comics Executive Editor Eddie Berganza will be answering the first of those questions, this one from Source reader shugtastic:

Will there be any long-term ramifications of Flashpoint (story elements that carry on in the months or years that follow) or will the Flashpoint story conclude after the Flashpoint and all connected minis are released?

“The fun part of FLASHPOINT is that it leads to this level of wild speculation. All I would say right now is that the speculation hasn’t been wild enough.

The last thing anyone should do is to hold back their imagination.”

There you have it, folks.

Keep checking the Source for the latest DC news, and come back next week for more FLASHPOINT Friday.

We’re just getting started.
