Harry and Eiling use Checkmate and Peacemaker to attack Belle Reve!
Lots of fighting later and after learning Manhunter is NOT dead, the truth is revealed!
Amanda Waller was NOT replaced but decided she had no choice but to fulfil orders (how she knew what the orders were, I don’t know.)
Many have paid a price, now Kobra is to be ‘handed the bill’!

Captain Atom V2 #30 -
I’m not sure why this was included.
It barely had any mention of the crossover.
The only bit that did was a gloating letter Gen. Eiling sent to Waller. It was two panels!
Though, I think this issue has the most pleasant conversation between Nate and Eiling.
And ew, Nate's best friend married his daughter?!

The Ark is going down… and the President wants to nuke it!
Luckily for all those on board, Firestorm is able to render it harmless.
Lots of blasting later and Manhunter captures Kobra and Cap Atom destroys the ship!
The Prez doesn’t want this to happen again so confirms who is to lead what. Making sure to let Waller her ‘lone wolf’ thing won’t stand.
In his cell, Kobra is contacted…

Kobra wants to repopulate the Earth… really?
Mr Steel (Sarge Steel) updates the Prez on recent events and even tho all intelligence groups are working together, he thinks they need a single leader.
No surprise, he chooses Steel!
A plan is formed and executed by Cap Atom, Major Force and Firestorm.
The Ark is breached and everyone engages Kobra's Blackadders.
Kobra will NOT let this stop him…

Firestorm V2 #86 -
Not really part of the whole conspiracy thing.
This was more of a stepping stone, setting up for another issue while making some progress in the series' story.
The only connecting thread is when LaGrieve makes a deal with the new Fire Elemental Firestorm to go to Belle Reve.
In exchange for keeping Lorraine’s secret (that she’s Firehawk).

Manhunter #14 -
I’m gonna be honest and say I didn't read this completely.
Seemed like all it does is confirm the Waller stomping around isn't the real 'Wall'.
I hope the thing with the laser doesn't come back up because then I'd be a little lost...
Some cool dynamic panels tho.

This issue flashes around the world, where various Knights are being attacked (and killed?) by ninjas!
Kobra eagerly awaitsss the moment the agencies destroy one another.
Tho, I don’t know why a villain like Kobra has a spacecraft…
Stein tells Eiling Waller may have been replaced!
The thing about Peacemaker's mentality is said for the 3rd time.
Before he blows up a warehouse full of ninjas!

Waller wants to take out Megala… and anyone else in their way!
Major Force and Peacemaker are still duking it out.
Harry Stein is desperate to contact Gen. Eiling, realising both Checkmate and Atom Project have been set up!
Atom didn’t want to be part of this but Eve with King Faraday paid him a visit…
We finally learn who’s behind Janus Directive!

Checkmate #16 -
Eiling demands answers. He believes Peacemaker is ‘up to his ears in the Janus Directive’.
Megala waits patiently for his tracker to be traced while Checkmate breaks into Belle Reve.
Who fail in their mission. Waller gets away.
Eiling wants to send his ‘big gun’ to retrieve Megala. Major Force!
Peacemaker is so ‘willing to kill’ to keep the peace, he faces off against the enhanced being.

We learn Janus Directive is a conspiracy to strike Task Force X. Waller does NOT want to wait to see what happens…
Bronze Tiger will ‘interpret’ The Wall’s orders but still leads his team against the Fourth of July, another covert metahuman group.
Their confrontation sees half of the FoJ dead.
Elsewhere, Peacemaker kidnaps Megala in a not-so-covert way.
Gen. Eiling is mad!

Checkmate #15 -
I don’t follow this series but the issues I have read aren’t all that bad.
We get a brief update on what’s been happening with the now powerless Negative Woman (from Doom Patrol).
Knight gets new armour! To fight an assassin named Bishop who ends up in the Brooklyn Bay.
Anyway, the end sees Amanda announce that the entire intelligence community is about to enter a war!
