Checkmate #17
In "The Janus Directive, Part 5: A Hard Day's Knight," Checkmate regroups in the abandoned NORAD complex after their base is destroyed, scrambling to uncover the truth behind the Janus Directive. With tensions rising and Kobra striking worldwide, Harry urges Eiling to set aside distrust and unite with the Atom Project—before the next Knight falls. Written by Paul Kupperberg and brought to life by Steve Erwin’s dynamic art, Al Vey’s inks, Julianna Ferriter’s colors, and Todd Klein’s precise lettering, the issue pulses with urgency. Gil Kane’s cover captures the stakes in bold, iconic strokes.
