Checkmate #27

Command and Conquer!" announces this August 2008 installment of DC's espionage series, and Manuel Garcia's cover delivers on that promise with striking visual intensity. A massive armored figure looms overhead clutching what appears to be a control device, while a powerfully built, scarred combatant charges forward through swirling green energy below — the whole composition radiating a sense of unstoppable force meeting dangerous opposition. Part two of the "Chimera" arc, this issue finds Checkmate's world of covert operations colliding with something far more volatile.
