Uncle Sam & the Freedom Fighters #3 DC


First let me say that Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti are doing an awesome job writing this story. Add to that the interior & exterior art of Daniel Acuna, and we have a classic in the making. We start out getting some history on the Black Condor character. We go all the way back to the Civil War. The real one. We meet John Trujillo, the new Black Condor, and the only member still missing from our ensemble. As our team is flying out to Arizona to meet him, they're worried about what SHADE's going to do. Also Phantom Girl still can't believe that her father could ever betray his country. SHADE does end up catching up to them, and in a big arial dispay, we get to see each member of the team flex their muscles a bit. They send in their own team of meta's, who seem to get the upper hand, until Black Condor shows up to help out. Father Time, whom see the writing on the wall that the aren't going to be able to take down the team like this, decides to instead discredit their name publicly. Which then begins a series of suicide bombers in Metropolis. This is an outstanding book. I hope it goes longer that it's designated 8 issues. We'll have to wait and see.
