This issue shows us what the fallout is of General Eilings plan. King Faraday and Amanda Waller were planning an assault on Haake-Bruton. They have some biological warfare that they developed with Oolong Island. General Eiling, however, saw this as an opportunity to use his considerable power to set himself up as the new CEO of Haake-Bruton, plus it would get him out from under the thumb of Amanda Waller. We found out last issue, his man on the inside was Cliff Carmichael. You remember. The ass-hole from the Firestorm series. Sorry! That's the best way to describe him. He also has a few of the Squad members already on his side. But, Plastique, whom he had confronted, decided at the last minute that she doesn't appreciate some of the assumptions he's made about her, so she's no longer willing to cooperate. In fact she'll do whatever she can to make sure that Eiling fails. Luckily the bullet that Cliff shot Faraday with wasn't fatal. He wakes up and kills Cliff, and snaps Amanda out of her stupor. When Cliff assumed control of Chemo, pushing Amanda out, it overloaded her system . . knocking her out. Now they're both hopping mad. And they know that Eiling is behind the whole thing. Meanwhile, Rick Flag is fighting Rustam . . not the one he already killed, but the father . . and the control that Eiling is trying to exert over him. Deadshot is now fighting blind, and he's in the board-room ready to take out it's members. This is a fantastic series by John Ostrander and Javier Pina. Although Jesus Saiz does help on a couple of pages this issue. All around, it's a great effort by everybody. I'm just hoping that they do something with this team . . or these characters after this book.
