Talia's Pandemic Plans Come to Fruition: Checkmate #1 [Preview]

Checkmate #1 is in stores from DC Comics on Tuesday, launching a new series by "The Great One" Brian Bendis and Alex Maleev. And in this preview… well, they don't give us much of anything, actually. Just a scene from the past o Talia Al Ghul and Manhunter meeting up, plus one from the slightly more recent past of Talia paying a visit to her son. If nothing else, we see that Talia and Manhunter have had something planned for two years and it's only just now coming to fruition, which is something we can all identify with after the coronavirus pandemic. What that plan is, however, we have no idea. You'll have to pick up the comic for that. Check out the preview below.
