DC Comics Universe & May 2020 Solicitations Spoilers: Dark Side Of DC With Event Leviathan: Checkmate, Batman Vs. Suicide Squad & Manhunters: The Secret History?!

Something about Leviathan’s rise to power doesn’t make sense! How did the organization get so big—and so powerful—so fast? How did Leviathan gather so many acolytes to its cause so quickly? As Checkmate digs deeper into Leviathan’s inner workings, what they find is a mountain of lies that could impact the entire world! Checkmate’s only recourse is to infiltrate Leviathan—but once these unlikely allies—the Question, Green Arrow, Lois Lane, Manhunter, and Talia al Ghul—go undercover they are officially…not on our side.

Leviathan comes the next surprising chapter in DC Comics’ most dangerous saga.

After the revelation of Leviathan’s true identity in the pages of Event Leviathan, Kate Spencer—an earlier Manhunter—must go on a quest to uncover just how deep Leviathan’s plans go. What Kate didn’t expect is a conspiracy that goes back to the very beginnings of DC history! Unearthing the past to save the future, this is Manhunters: The Secret History! Eisner Award-winning writer Marc Andreyko returns to his classic crime-fighter in this hard-hitting miniseries that will reverberate across the DC Universe!

The hunters have become the hunted! Task Force X is the world’s most wanted—on the run from heroes and villains alike and no closer to taking down the puppet master who’s been pulling their strings. But even if they go to ground, there’s no hiding from the World’s Greatest Detective, and it’ll take every deadly trick in their playbook for the Squad to escape the wrath of Batman!
