A New Checkmate Emerges As Mark Shaw and Leviathan Takes Over A Country!

Plus A Big Superman: Villains #1 Tease?!

A new character Kingsley Jacobs frees Colonel Steve Trevor from captivity and sets up a new Checkmate to take on Leviathan…

…who has bought paid for the country of Markovia.

It is now a haven for those who feel disenfranchised as…

…Mark Shaw clearly doesn’t see himself as a villain.

Checkmate will also recruit a villain in next week’s Superman: Villains #1.

The Pulse:

An interesting issue that sets up the Leviathan: Checkmate mini-series. Decent art. Intriguing issue. 7 out of 10.
