"I would say they all hate one another. They definitely don't like Waller. Waller has leaned hard on the 'Step out of line and your neck will blow up' mentality. She's definitely ruling the roost with a pretty iron fist.
I think within the group though, you're going to start to see that they're like any group, there are cliques. You're going to see Peacemaker click with certain people and doesn't with others.
I would say at the forefront, there's a battle for the heart of the team between Peacemaker and Superboy, who really, really, really do not like one another. That comes to a head pretty quickly in #2. There's a battle for the soul of the team between those two characters, because Peacemaker is 'peace at any cost' and Superboy, while he's still a member of the Suicide Squad, he's still Superboy. He still wants to do the right thing." -- Robbie Thompson

icon_ukBruce and Damian have a LONG overdue father son moment, which leads to something terrribly sad.

Meet the Skrulls #1

"There's a great quote from Kurt Vonnegut, from his book Mother Night, 'We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.'
Everyone wears a mask in some form or another. A work face, a social face, or what have you. There are times when we play a part. The Warners are here to play a part in destroying mankind. But the longer they stay among us, the more they pretend to be like us, the more they become like us.
I think the Warners are also relatable because they're a family. They're a unit of spies, but it's a family unit. And they have all the trappings of a family; parenting disagreements, sibling rivalry, etc.
Obviously, The Americans on FX was an inspiration for the book, but so was the Fantastic Four. I love the adventures Marvel's First Family go on, and all the amazing characters they interact with, but to me, Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben are timeless and relatable because they're a family -- with all the good and bad that comes with that. The Warners are a family, too, and our hope is that dynamic reveals that maybe Skrulls aren't so bad after all.
Maybe they're just like us." -- Robbie Thompson

thanekosThey'd gone to save one of their own, the Billy Kaplan of that time, from the mark he'd taken.
They and he met its bestower- Doctor Doom, Valeria Richards.
They all lay under her power, all of them except Isaac Newton's Mindful One.
That one's master haltingly told him what to do.
He obeyed, breaking off a piece of himself.
( It set out on its task. )

thanekosThe effects of channeling his Mark of Sorrow to help defeat the Author of the Word of God were telling on him.
Doctor Strange and most of the other Sorcerers Supreme from across time that he'd fought alongside were by his side.
Isaac Newton advised finding the person with whom Billy'd dealt to get the mark.
Strange asked Billy who that was.
Billy flashed back, flashed forward, to the circumstances of the deal.
