Episode 17: Action Comics 598 and Suicide Squad 8

Welcome back once again, Squadmates!

I bring to you... Episode 17: Action Comics 598 and Suicide Squad 8

This month I look at Action Comics 598, the first appearance of Checkmate, with a very special guest host.  From the Superman Homepage, From Crisis To Crisis: Superman Podcast, Views From The Longbox podcast, plus many more, and one of the spiritual founders of this Headcast, Michael Bailey!

Synopsis:
Lois Lane conducts an interview with Khareemali, Qurac's defense minister, who is in Metropolis to denounce Superman's actions against his country. Angered that a woman is sent to do the interview, the minister has his guard seize Lois. Members of a rival terrorist group known as the Angels of Allah then storm the office and take Lois and the minister hostage.

To ensure Superman is distracted, other members of the terrorist group hijack a Navy aircraft carrier and plant a bomb on its nuclear reactor. Lois is rescued by a man in black wearing a modified knight's mask. Superman meets a man in similar garb aboard the carrier. This man helps Superman defeat the terrorists. After the crisis is over, both "knights" disappear.

Lois then returns to the Daily Planet to write up her story. Clark writes up the story about the carrier. Elsewhere Harry Stein and Harvey Bullock hold a meeting. Their secret government organization, known as Checkmate, employed the two knights. Harry receives a report that the defense minister has left American airspace. He then detonates an explosive on Khareemali's plane, destroying it.

Synopsis:
When the Suicide Squad returns from Russia, Dr. LaGrieve worries about the team members. Amanda Waller takes out her anger on Dexter Tolliver, the Squad's NSC liaison. Tolliver then puts a plan in motion to protect his own interests.

Rick Flag is also angry when a rescue mission to save Nemesis is not considered. An argument with Waller and Karin Grace causes new team member Mark Shaw to punch Flag. Waller then temporarily relieves him of command.

The Bronze Tiger is put in charge of the team. He takes the Enchantress to visit Madame Xanadu. She gives him a necklace and ring that will prevent the Enchantress from going out of control. However, Xanadu warns that the witch will become more powerful and begin merging with June's persona.

A counseling session between LaGrieve's associate Marnie Herrs and Deadshot leads to an argument. The two then share a kiss, before Deadshot storms out. Both agree to keep the incident quiet.

Finally, Captain Boomerang has assumed the costume and equipment of the late Mirror Master. He begins a crime spree in New Orleans.

Also, we have two Character Profiles: Henry Stein and Mark Shaw

Welcome back once again, Squadmates!

I bring to you... Episode 16: R.I.P Murphy Anderson pt 2- Showcase 34

We interrupt our regularly scheduled episode to bring you a special episode celebrating the life and work of Murphy Anderson.

Synopsis:
Using a white dwarf star fragment, physicist, Ray Palmer, has developed a lens which will shrink inanimate objects when ultra-violet light is sent through the lens. However, Ray has been unable to perfect the process because the shrunken objects always explode withing minutes.

Visiting an underground cavern on a nature hike with his girlfriend Jean Loring and a nature club, Ray becomes trapped inside with the group during a cave-in. Exploring the cave, Ray locates only one tiny opening. He uses the sunlight, beamed through the lens to shrink himself to tiny size. Then using the diamond from his ring, enlarges the opening until people can safely pass through.

Worried that he might explode, Ray hurrys back to the lens and enlarges himself back to normal. He is surprised that he did not explode and hypothesizes the cave water may have altered the properties of the lens. When he returns to his lab, objects still explode when shrunk, leaving Ray to conclude that his own body possesses a mysterious force, enabling him to survive the shrinking process.

A tiny genie appears in a bank and steals money before disappearing. Bank Teller, Alma Wilson, is accused of the crime, prompting her to ask her friend, Jean Loring, to be her attorney.

Jean’s boyfriend, Ray Palmer, who has just finished designing a costume which appears only when he shrinks to tiny size, as the Atom, encounters the genie in his lab. After a short scuffle, the genie explains he is an alien, Kulan Dar, who has become trapped on Earth. He is being controlled by a small time criminal because he needs the element Europium to return home.

After Kulan Dar disappears, Atom tracks down the crook, Carl Ballard. Ballard commands the alien to defend him, forcing the tiny titans to battle each other. Atom delays Kulan Dar long enough to gain possession of the dominator device Ballard used to gain control. Kulan then confesses his crime in court, which frees Alma, and leads to Ballard arrest.
