WALLER VS WILDSTORM #1 (OF 4) CVR A JORGE FORNES (MR)

In the early 1980s¸ as the Cold War stubbornly refuses to thaw¸ a new battle heats up...for the soul of the intelligence agency Checkmate. As the agency's super-heroic public face¸ Jackson King—a.k.a. the armored Battalion¸ former leader of Stormwatch and the symbol of American might—has long suspected that Adeline Kane is up to dirty tricks overseas¸ engineering horrors that betray everything he believes about service to one's country. But King doesn't know that Kane has a clever new ally—an ambitious young woman named Amanda Waller. She has her own ideas about how metahumans can serve their country. And honor¸ dignity¸ and long lives don’t factor into them... National security reporter Spencer Ackerman (the Daily Beast¸ Reign of Terror)¸ comics and video game writer Evan Narcisse (Spider-Man: Miles Morales¸ Gotham Knights)¸ and veteran artist Jesús Merino (Wonder Woman¸ The Joker Presents: A Puzzlebox) celebrate WildStorm's legacy of espionage-flavored superhero morality plays¸ pitting Stormwatch against the deadliest people in the DCU—including Deathstroke himself!
