Toon Titans v. Comics Titans, and Why I Miss the Nineties So, like, *everybody* knows about me and Slade, e.g. Te commenting that I was married to the man. Most people also know that the Slade of my heart is the Slade Wolfman and Devin wrote, most specifically the Slade of New Teen Titans, Deathstroke, and Nightwing.
And I like current!Slade. I do. He's creepy and menacing and smart and scary and very, very good at what he does. He is *a* form of Slade.
But I don't *love* him, because he's Not My Slade, certainly not one I know from any comic.
( Want to know a major distinction you could see from the first five issues of DEATHSTROKE and pretty much any book with Slade in it written now? )I don't actually want to go back to the nineties, because the cover art hurts my eyes as well as my very SOUL, but darn it I want wee baby Tim back and also I want Steph and also I want Slade!
