This week sees Suicide Squad: Dream Team #3 by Nicole Maines, Eddy Barrows and Eber Ferreira follows on from Absolute Power Free Comic Book Day, in which we learned that Amanda Waller's home base is the island nation of Gamorra.
And that Dream Team is basically all about how she got it. Asn well as having Dreamer say the words.
"Absolute Power", the name of what Amanda Waller has, and especially when she manages to capture and steal the powers of every super individual on the planet Earth. And how is she doing that? Action Comics #1065 by Joshua Williamson and Rafa Sandoval, also out this Tuesday, lays that out for those who weren't paying attention.
Brainiac has been targeting more planets than Earth with his Czarnian army, and stealing powers from inhabitants, not just Earth.
And as seen during Free Comic Book Day, it is Brainiac's absorption abilities that are desired by Amanda Waller, also playing off during the end of that title.
And that's who she does another deal with… to follow up with her deal with Zur-En-Arrh, for his own purposes.
And in the upcoming Absolute Power, it seems that she is rather successful…
… as a certain someone is no longer faster than a speeding bullet.
Bye bye Superman…
