Who could possibly be the father of her white-haired child?! And why would it even be brought up on the cover of Deathstroke the Term...oh! Wait! I figured it out!
My favorite part of this comic book is the trademark symbol under Sweet Lili's name on the cover and then, inside the comic book, she's referred to as Sweet-Lili. Isn't that dash important to the trademark? I mean, I'm not a lawyer or anything but I suspect consistency is important in trademark law! Plus who the fuck trademarks the name "Sweet Lili"?! Maybe DC Comics planned to turn it into a fucking sweet pinball machine! This cover could totally be the backglass to a machine! My second favorite part of the comic was when Wintergreen caught sight of Rose Wilson for the first time and nearly went straight. As far as being Rose Wilson's first appearance? It's nothing special. I'm sure she makes a better "first" appearance later when she's named.
The Commentary!
Slade Wilson is out of children to love dramatically in that way that deadbeat dads use to show how passionately they actually love the children they've ignored for most of their lives. Rending garments and pulling hair out and loudly proclaiming how much you love your children only make up for not actually interacting with your children in the eyes of other deadbeat dads. "Oh, your children are ungrateful too? And their mother is a shrewish whore who never let you see them for no good reasons at all?! I mean, she always had plenty of reasons! But they were all, like, lies and shit. Just like the dirty whore mother of my children! WHOM I LOVE SO MUCH!" And since DC Comics can't seem to have a Slade Wilson that doesn't have a crippling tie to his progeny, it was time to make up a new kid! Rose Wilson, this is your life! A really shitty life with a shitty dad who will do anything to protect you, even if he has to eventually kill you!
This is Part 4 of Total Chaos (as you can see on the cover but I'm going somewhere with this) which is called Total Chaos because it's a fucking mess. It's one of those time travel stories where somebody from the future comes back to the present to murder somebody that they've been unable to murder in the future so that the future never happens which will mean they won't exist but stop pulling at the threads already and just buy into the stupid fucking story, asshole. It's one of those stories that the X-men were making so popular at the time that DC Comics decided to bring in an editor on The New Titans who wouldn't mind driving the Titans in the exact same direction and looking like a complete plagiarist and thief and Johnny-Come-On-My-Tits-Lately. Deathstork just got pulled into this because Marv Wolfman was writing him and he's inextricably linked to the Titans even though he killed Joseph Wilson about a year ago and now has no real reason to care about these kids. He really should be off killing people for money without caring and living the bachelor life of a sad bachelor who only just became an unattached bachelor because he managed to get all of his kids killed which also pissed off his ex-wife to such a degree that she's trying to kill him too. Party!
Currently Slade Wilson is suffering from having been injected with too much truth serum. I guess Jon Peterson, troublemaker, told Marv Wolfman that Deathstroke was too powerful! He needed to to be made more human so he'd have more drama and tension, like a Marvel character! And why don't you give him another kid, just to increase his personal problems because that's what all the Marvel kids seem to like! And have you seen how hot the X-men have been lately?!
Make room for Wintergreen! He's a master of fellatio! I mean a fairly competent medic!
Or not. Stupid Garfield! She wants you! Even with your stupid haircut!
Meanwhile, Wintergreen continues to pine in silence for the dick of his old friend.
Oh yeah. I'd plant a rose in that vagina too!
Actually, Slade told the story because Sweet-Lili is now in New York and Slade's mutant army know her. So they take Slade to her where she can give Slade some sexual healing. And maybe some medicine. And probably an introduction to his daughter.
Slade never gets to meet Rose because he's too busy being medically pampered by a throng of prostitutes. But Wintergreen meets her briefly and he makes the connection between Slade's white hair and Rose's white hair! Although I just assumed Slade's hair was white because he was old. I guess I've spent too many months reading Tony S. Daniel's New 52 young Slade who doesn't have white hair at all because teen readers might still think he's old and disgusting and choose not to read about him.
In the end, after all of the bullshit story that was just introduced so that Slade could have another child to flip the fuck out over, Slade simply winds up arrested by Councilwoman Alderman. That way, he can be detained for the next two parts of Total Chaos which will focus on the Teen Titans and the Team Titans. Nobody needs him until then.
