And at least he was thought enough off to even be allowed to show up. So yeah, credit to Baron on that one.<br /><br />Just a shame that this mini couldn't have been a nicer showcase of the Squad in the 90's other than Karl Kesel's "Watery Grave" storylinea;0Mr. Morbid's House Of Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721085161381688977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102780117222667502.post-85043654729376127502013-01-18T20:22:36.950-05:002013-01-18T20:22:36.950-05:00hey guys next to the short lived Keith Giffen shit...hey guys next to the short lived Keith Giffen shit stained series which i just got rid of recently most anything Suicide Squad related (art work as well as story) looks good.

He probably thought his Hawk and Dove was the shit (for 5 whole issues).<br /><br />I will give em credit though, I try to buy every damn book the Squad is in. And no where have I seen our guys have so many pictures. Full shots, action shots, actually going thru the motions on a mission. I think that's what I appreciate the most.<br /><br />It's not John's writing, and the artwork is a little cartoony. But where can you say youv'e seen a full body panel of BT with out the mask drawn this well? I bet you can count it on one hand; or seen my man Vertigo doing things on more than a small corner of one page? To see good things in this book you gotta love that.Omega Agent1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15882496530451546334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102780117222667502.post-24395311020685887982013-01-18T15:34:08.733-05:002013-01-18T15:34:08.733-05:00Oh you guys;)
The art here's alright, but mor...Oh you guys;)<br /><br />The art here's alright, but more at home in an animated book really. <br /><br />I definitely agree about how annoying that forced accent for the Count is. It's like Baron decided since he had the word "Count" in his name, CV was going to talk like The Count from Sesame Street. Wow.<br /><br />Other than the clash between Checkmate and the Squad, I don't see this iteration of Hawk and Dove being any good at all; no wonder it got cancelled. I mean I appreciate the effort to try something different, I do, but use a different and more appropriate name then, not one that's already familiar enough to not even remotely be linked to this concept. At least the Squad got face time period, so there's always that right guys?;)Mr. Morbid's House Of Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721085161381688977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102780117222667502.post-64189731814397687812013-01-18T14:43:07.197-05:002013-01-18T14:43:07.197-05:00and here you went and said Checkmate was nuthin : ...and here you went and said Checkmate was nuthin : ) i recently discovered two new comics shops in my area so i'll be be digging through thier back issue bins this weekend. and don't forget about tomorrow morning . . new Young Justice! aside from getting laid of course nothing beats a weekend of new YJ and new back issue bins to go hunting through.

Without Boomerang present they did pass a little Digger off to the Count.<br /><br />I really like seeing Checkmate and the Squad working with and against each other. BT and Vertigo were prominent and we get to see the team in action. Until #5, Long Live the Squad.Omega Agent1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15882496530451546334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102780117222667502.post-88902259195251623472013-01-18T11:52:36.699-05:002013-01-18T11:52:36.699-05:00so now that i've read the provided clip i'...so now that i've read the provided clip i'm going to follow up on my first comment. the art work was good and there were some good quipts like the "Count Eurotrash" line. it was interesting to see Vixen as an agent of Checkmate too as well as BT using weapons which he very seldom does. i think Vertigo was a bit out of character he's more sophisticated then that,m remember he prides himself on being royalty. and what's up with that accent of his in this issue!? some of the stuff with him would have been more befitting Capt. Boomerang espaecially the not so subtle sexism. but either way OA1 thanks for posting this it looks like we're gonna have to find #5 to see how this wraps up.Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102780117222667502.post-67473325085175545052013-01-18T08:49:56.033-05:002013-01-18T08:49:56.033-05:00wow, thanks for getting this cranked out so fast! ...wow, thanks for getting this cranked out so fast! i won't have time to thoroughly read it till later but i can't wait till i can, i'll be back.Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.com
