Spoilers

DC Comics and Justice League #68 Spoilers and Review follows.

Deathstrokes (Plural) Hunt Daemon Rose As He Hunts Checkmate?!

Who Is Pulling Strings?

We open with a dramatis personae and storyline catch-up page.

As the main story arc over the last few issues end we turn to Justice League and Checkmate “shared” member Green Arrow as well as…

…Lois Lane’s brother (confirmed elsewhere this week) who is a formidable spy in his own right vs. Deathstrokes (plural).

Well, Green Arrow’s Checkmate colleagues, with team member Lois Lane MIA, confront Daemon Rose…

…who reveals he’s being hunted because he won’t kill the Justice League!

Well, that’s a big contract, mission and expectations for a brand-new character…

…who aligns with Checkmate as they’re attacked…

…confronted by the Justice League…

…as the Deathstrokes appear to be more of a comedy act?!

Interesting that Green Arrow is on a secret team and Black Canary is on her own secret team too as revealed this week (full spoilers here).

There is also an engaging Justice League Dark back-up story to conclude the issue.

Next up is Justice League #69 in stores on November 2, 2021.

The Pulse:

An intriguing issue with decent art on the main story. Interested to see how Green Arrow explains his dual allegiances to his Justice League colleagues. The back-up was pretty entertaining as well. 7 out of 10.
