knight_movesIn issue 2, Darkseid's plot to turn all of Earth into small-minded, violent, hero-hating simpletons continues. If he's not stopped soon, all of reality will become the Marvel Universe.

knight_movesComing to you from a murderer's row of talent, Legends was basically the pilot episode of the post-Crisis DCU, introducing or reintroducing a lot of the characters and teams that would dominate the playing field for the near future. As a story, it left me a bit cold, with some pretty wooden dialogue and a slight story about humanity's need for heroes. Of course, with the God of Evil arguing the con position, there's not much nuance to be had.
Anyway, here's Amanda Waller, back when she was less of a villain than Darkseid.

The Life and Times of Amanda Waller
Jul. 22nd, 2024 06:05 pmshakalooloo"Perhaps the most compelling character has been the Wall, Amanda Waller. There was no one really like her before in comics; I don't think there's been anyone to match her since. She's a woman, she's black, she has no super-powers, and she is as tough and indomitable as they come. She is also flawed herself. We get more discussion in the letters about Amanda than anything else in this book. Some of you absolutely loathe her. That's all to the good. We never claimed she was a hero, or a role model, or without flaws. Compelling - that she is. If Kim and I have made a contribution to the DC Universe, it's probably Amanda. Watch. She won't stay quiet long. Other people will want to use her. Amanda may be back before the Squad is."
- John Ostrander, circa 1992
I had thought about doing a carefully curated selection of scenes of Amanda to contrast with her current actions in Absolute Power. That seemed like a lot of work, so here's just some of my favourites after a quick flick through the OG Suicide Squad TPBs. This is the woman that will go on to forge an alliance with a Brainiac and an evil Batman robot to rob all super-heroes of their powers, remember...

Oct. 25th, 2023 10:42 pmiamrmanIt turned out that the Loa, the criminal organisation that Amanda Waller fabricated to catch out Captain Boomerang, wasn’t such a fabrication in the first place.

However, before that happens, Waller decides it is time to settle matters once and for all.
