Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Writer Greg Rucka continues threads from the groundbreaking weekly series 52 with CHECKMATE, a covert organization that exists to keep the super-powered factions of the DC Universe in check. In 'The Fall of the Wall,' Amanda Waller -- Checkmate's 'White Queen' -- is exposed for running unauthorized grey ops. But Waller won't be stopped and doesn't hesitate to employ blackmail to protect her mission, regardless of who gets hurt.

Rated by buyers -
This new installment in the Checkmate series continues to maintain the twists and turns readers have come to expect with series writing. A first-rate collection from the DC universe with adequate art work to support the writings efforts.
Rated by buyers -
Perhaps the most surprising of DC's post-Infinite Crisis and 52 ongoing series' has been Greg Rucka's run on Checkmate, and Fall of the Wall, the third collected volume in the series, takes Rucka's espionage opera to even loftier heights. Amanda Waller finds herself with her back against the wall, and Mr. Terrific and Sasha Bordeaux may prove to be the biggest thorns in her side. Under Rucka's hand, we see just how ruthless Waller, always an underrated and underutilized character in the DC universe, is and can be, and just what lengths she will go to come out on top. Twists abound, and seeds are planted for the final storyarc in Rucka's run that follows this. Joe Bennett provides more very solid artwork, and once again, Rucka's script is compulsively addictive and surprisingly complex. All in all, Fall of the Wall is another brilliant installment in Greg Rucka's Checkmate, and if you haven't checked this series out yet, you are missing quite a bit.
