warfare For Earth # 3 Amanda Waller ’s been plan something big on Earth-3 for some prison term , how does War From Earth # 3 see her plans go to fruition ?
Hopeless : Amanda ’s not evidence what she has design just yet , so neither will I … But yeah , in this first issue we see Waller and her monumental Multiversal Suicide Squad invade Earth 3 ’s Metropolis . She ’s daring Ultraman and his Crime Syndicate to come do something about it . Mayhem ensues .
What about the other Suicide Squad trying to stop Waller ? What role do they act in this ?
Hopeless : Rick Flag has gone rogue . He ’s recruit a squad of ex - Squad member to hear and stop Waller . After all these years under Waller ’s thumb , watching as her definition of " whatever it takes " grow non-white and deathly , Flag has just had enough . His team are temporarily free of Waller ’s neck bombs and plan to use that windowpane to prevent the encroachment . Unfortunately , as we saw at the end of SS # 12 , Waller saw them amount . She ’s three stride ahead as usual , so as War for Earth 3 boot off , Flag and his Squad are being swallowed up by a giant Clayface monster .
The Crime Syndicate are involved in this event as well , how will they oppose to their Earth being invaded ?
Hopeless : It ’s hard to rattle The Crime Syndicate . Most hoi polloi are reasonably terrified of the Evil Justice League and their fascist Superman . Waller distinctly is n’t , which makes the first issue pretty explosive . This conflict is my favorite matter in the event .
Homer Thompson : Dennis came onto the book in Issue 11 , and as we started to talk about this coming event , he really brought The Crime Syndicate alive as individual characters and as a sinister grouping . He dug deep into their history and came up with antic insight into their characters which led to a super - structure to the issue . hat off to Dennis , because this material really whistle thanks to him .
What is Ultraman ’s res publica of nous in the issue ?
Hopeless : Ultraman is accept himself a twenty-four hours when Waller ’s Squad arrive . He ’s furious and distracted and in absolutely no mood to deal with a multiversal invasion .
Count Rumford : Again , all this delightful stuff come up from Dennis and his desire from jump to make certain this result matt-up personal for the character , and rooted in their traditional knowledge . If my hat was n’t already off to him , it would be again .
Can we await any casualties in the event ?
Hopeless : So many fatal accident .
Benjamin Thompson : No one is safe . Including , and perhaps peculiarly , me .
Who ’s your favorite character to write ?
Dennis : I had a net ton of playfulness with The Crime Syndicate . If you made me pick one role , it ’s probably Owlman … But Ultraman and Superwoman are quite a duo to dialog .
Robbie : I ’m under judicature purchase order to say Ambush Bug . But the stuff I loved to READ was Dennis assume both the Squad and the Syndicate and running tempestuous . I ca n’t hold back to see what he does with the Squad next – should any of them survive this outcome !
What ’s it wish to pen the ultimate Suicide Squad story ?
Hopeless : I ’m just thrilled and humbled to be a part of this team . Robbie Thompson is one of my pet hoi polloi in comics . He ’s a brilliant author and just the sheer in effect man . Co - writing with him is always a joy . And the art team on this series is utterly top - mountain pass . The fact that it ’s also a Crime Syndicate versus Amanda Waller Suicide Squad consequence … That ’s just derisory . I ’m in heaven .
Peacemaker and Ambush Bug end up on quite an adventure together , what was it like pairing the reference together ?
Hopeless : I love write oil and piddle squad - ups . My strip career has been full of them , but they always sneak up on me . hedgehog and Spider - Woman . Forge and Dr. Nemesis . Arcade and Teenage Murder . I did n’t see any of those come . It all encounter on the page . Peacemaker and Ambush Bug is no exception . It makes so much horse sense that these two would be hilarious together , but it totally snuck up on us . I fault Robbie .
Benjamin Thompson : And I completely fault , Dennis , and am exceedingly jealous of his idea to bring those two together . We had n’t had as much chance to do so since Peacemaker was off on his own , but as soon as Dennis follow up with the estimation , and started to drop a line their scenes , everyone on the team know what he was doing was hearty gold .
Can you babble about Rodriguez and her change ?
Hopeless : That ’s all Robbie . He set up that whole storyline up beautifully .
Thompson : This is something original series editor Mike Cotton and I talk about a retentive time ago . To take someone from Waller ’s crew and lento break them to be someone with their own agenda . We had want her to be pushed to this breaking point , to give herself powers , so to be able to get there in success was really sweet .
How do the revelations about Match affect the eccentric ?
Hopeless : Match just retrieve out his intact personality and backstory are a fabrication cook up by Waller to make him more pliable . Now she ’s yanked him away from his crush to go struggle in a war he did n’t bless up for . I ’d say he react to it about as well as any other teenager would .
Thompson : candidly , I feel bad for Match . We ’ve really exhaust on him throughout this political campaign , but he ’s also prove to be a surprisingly worked up and durable quality as well . I ’m settle for him to pluck it out and survive !
Does Rick Flagg ’s Suicide Squad team have a opportunity at pull ahead ?
Hopeless : Sure . Not a good opportunity … But , you fuck , anything is potential . Robbie : I mean , maybe ?
Look , I can confirm at least he has a probability of make headway most liberal , non - murderous madman of the Squad . Or at least a strong instant or third .
Is Waller DC ’s most self - centered character ? It ’s very easy to detest her in this volume .
Hopeless : Waller is like Detective Batman if he was n’t hamstrung by ethical motive . She ’s delightfully hateable when she ’s wrong and even more so when she ’s right .
Thompson : Could n’t have pronounce it any better . See ? Dennis is the infrangible serious .
