Checkmate #7 - DC


The Suicide Squad is back! Yay!!! Oh, Shhh!!! It's supposed to be a secret. Amanda Waller is showing her true colors again, by putting together a team on the sly. Even though she's promised Checkmate that she'll stay out of operations. Like I said, her true colors. Recently a child has been found in China, to have amazing energy powers. Well, the Govt. that found him, has decided to use him as a power source, for their country, and whomever will buy the power from them. Waller sees this as a threat because, one this country shouldn't be taking advantage of this young man, and two this country shouldn't be in control of such an unlimited power source. So, she takes it upon herself to free the young man from his shackles, literally. She sends in two teams, one to gain entrance to the facility, and the other, Rick Flag and the Bronze Tiger, to back up whoever survives and make sure they get home safely. Of course upon freeing him, he's been given safe haven in the good ol' USofA. So, she's obviously doing this to get something from someone in the Govt., but we don't know who and what, yet. And will it be for the betterment or detriment of Checkmate, who isn't U.S. sanctioned, but U.N. sanctioned. But, Terry Holt, Mister Terrific, is starting to become suspicious. Greg Rucka, with DeFilippis and Weir are doing a great job writing this book. Cliff Richards does the art this issue. His style fits the book very nicely. I like this book so far. I just hope it can keep up the pace that it's started with. We'll just have to wait and see.
