• CHECKMATE #1
• FIRST PRINTING

• PLOT SUMMARY: "The Game of Kings" Pt. 1 - Written by Greg Rucka. Art by Jesus Saiz. Checkmate holds the line. Cross it – and they'll take you off the board. Permanently. In this thrilling new ongoing series, the team behind the blockbuster OMAC PROJECT – writer Greg Rucka & artist Jesus Saiz – returns with a different spy agency for a different world. Infinite Crisis has changed the DCU, and Checkmate has shaped its hard-learned lessons into a new game plan. In Checkmate, it's all about the balance of power. Between Black and White; between human and metahuman; and between the familiar faces who have become its new Kings and Queens. It's also about the propaganda wars, black ops combat, and political manuevering that fuel Checkmate's critical missions – missions that take a grueling toll on the agents' day-to-day lives. First, however, they must prove their right to exist ? to the U.N. And they only have hours to do it in this breathtaking first issue!
