Dark Knights of Steel Allwinter (2024)

The snow falls thick, blood runs black, and color itself is only a distant memory. The legendary assassin Deathstroke stalks a frozen wasteland, killing for coin among a nation of ever-warring jarls. But when our murderer for hire finds himself cast in the role of reluctant guardian, will he fight to end the icy curse destroying his land or be consumed by the sins of his own dark past? The red-hot Dark Knights of Steel epic expands into bone-chilling new territories with new surprises in store!

Deathstroke's past and present collide when he discovers the source of Vandar Savage's ire is being protected by Adeline, Deathstroke's wife. But what she has in her possession might be the only thing capable of stopping this endless winter for good. Crossing Vandar is dangerous enough, but their quest will barely have begun before tragedy strikes... Superstar writer Tom Taylor returns to the world of Dark Knights of Steel with artist Riccardo Federici to tell the story of an orphaned child...heir to the throne of Atlantis, Atlantis, whose arrival will signal prosperity...or terror!

A FAMILIAR FACE REVEALED! BUT IS PRINCE BRUCE FRIEND OR FOE? The harsh winter journey takes a surprising turn when a familiar face from the Kingdom of El crashes into Slade and his young yet powerful charge, Alec Holland...but will Prince Bruce reveal himself to be friend or foe in their pursuit to end the Allwinter? And in the backup feature written by Tom Taylor, mastermind behind Dark Knights of Steel, and drawn by Riccardo Federici--the king of Atlantis will stop at nothing to ensure his legacy, even if it means tearing the surface world apart to find the child who escaped his clutches!

The snow falls heavier and ice zombie hoards grow thicker as Slade and Alec battle their way through the frozen badlands in search of the dark wizard who commands the Allwinter. But even once they manage to secure some semblance of shelter, will the truths of their pasts that emerge bring them together...or tear them apart for good? And in the backup tale by Dark Knights of Steel mastermind Tom Taylor and superstar artist Riccardo Federici, the king of Atlantis will stop at nothing to ensure his legacy, even if it means tearing the surface world apart to find the rightful heir he long thought was dead!

Slade finds himself wrenched from the icy jaws of death by the only thing worse than a sworn enemy: an old friend who knows all his greatest shames and darkest secrets. Secrets that hold the true origin of the Allwinter, that he'll have to face down if he ever hopes to set things right. The question that lies before the bloody mercenary is not whether he can...but whether he will.
