Overall, a great job with this book. Every issue we learn a little more about the heirarchy of Checkmate. We learn what the White and Black side means. Basically the Black side is the operational side. Which is why Amanda Waller is the White Queen. I guess the U.N. didn't even want her in Checkmate but they conceeded as long as she wasn't in operations. But that doesn't mean she still doesn't have her hand in some Suicide Squad operations. If not directly, then through sheer force of will, or manipulation. One of her strong points. Also this issue they bring Rick Flag back. The Bronze Tiger, through some intel leaked to him by who else, breaks him out of, what they thought was, a forgotten and abandoned Qurac prison. Sasha is still struggling with her feelings for Michael. He's not the White King yet, but she figures he will be, so she distancing herself already. Mirror Master is trying to form a SS team to go after a meta stuck in a power plant in Myanmar. I can only guess where he's getting his intel from. But his team consist of himself, Icicle, Punch & Jewelee, Plastique, Javelin and the Tatooed man. But it looks like someone on their team is reporting to the Society because no sooner do they arrive than they are surrounded. But Amanda, as a contingency, has already sent the Bronze Tiger and Rick Flag after them. So we'll have to wait till next issue to see how this all works out.
