Mackay goes against him again and loses. Shortly thereafter, the pawns discover Bishop's abandoned armor.</span><br />

Yes, this month squadmates, we join the JLMay crossover as we look at Suicide Squad 67 and Secret Six 17 & 18 on <a href="http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/archive.org/download/TaskForceX/Episode045.mp3" target="_blank">Episode 45: JLMay - Suicide Squad 67 and Secret Six 17 & 18</a><br />

<br />
But before you listen to our show, you need to listen to the first four shows of the crossover (to find out how we got here).<br />

So, put on some popcorn, pop in the movie and join Robert and myself as we watch the movie and talk about our feelings about it.<br />
<br />
When you're done watching the movie, be sure to let me know what you think.<br />
<br />
Then once you're done there, head over to <a href="https://thebatmanuniverse.net/category/podcast/reltdp/" target="_blank">Robert's page</a> or download his podcasts and take a listen.<br />
<br />

Thank you once again for listening to this episode of Task Force X.<br />
<br />
Be sure to check the Facebook page for news and further information. That's where I tend to post information as it comes to light.<br />
<br />
And you can still get directly to our page by going to <a href="http://taskforcex.headspeaks.com/">taskforcex.headspeaks.com</a>.<br />
<br />
Other news for the Headcast family.<br />
<br />
Further down, I'll list all my podcasts like I normally do, but next month (May), things are going to be a little different.<br />
<br />
I've been asked to join a great yearly cross over... JLMay. Every year a bunch of podcasters join together and talk about some Justice League America stories.... This year, they're looking at Blackest Night. And I'm joining them.<br />
<br />
So next month (May), my schedule is going to be a little off.<br />
<br />
First Tuesday, we will see Task Force X and Starman/Manhunter Adventure Hour.<br />
On Task Force X, we'll look at Suicide Squad 67 and Secret Six 17 & 18. That same week, on Starman/Manhunter Adventure Hour, we'll look at Starman 81 (and not the Will Payton one either).<br />
<br />
Then on the second Tuesday, Head Speaks will come out and we'll look at Blackest Night issue 4.<br />
<br />
Then the third Tuesday, G.I Joe: A Real American Headcast episode 26 will look at the first part of the Snake-Eyes origin.<br />
<br />
Finally, the fourth Tuesday, Bravo Team will be released... this episode is entitled "VS".<br />
<br />
Then June we're back on our normal schedule (at this point).<br />
<br />
As usual, The Headcast Network is where you can find all of my podcasts under one feed.<br />
<br />
Over on The Starman/Manhunter Adventure Hour, where I'll be talking about the Will Payton Starman and Mark Shaw Manhunter comics.<br />
<br />
Then, look for Head Speaks,where I'm nearing the end of my multi-episode look at Armageddon 2001 where I have guests from the internet and podcasting world join me every episode.<br />
<br />
The following week, look for <a href="http://gijoe.headspeaks.com/">G.I. Joe: A Real American Headcast</a> the second week of the month, where we look at G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero comic from Marvel.<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: "times new roman";">
<div style="margin: 0px;">
Finally, be sure to return next month and listen as I talk about Suicide Squad and Checkmate..</div>

Synopsis:<br />
After learning that Kobra has pitted several government agencies against one another, the leaders of each agency join forces to oppose the cult leader. The President appoints Sarge Steel to take charge of the operation. Steel divides the resources, consisting of the Checkmate, the Suicide Squad, Firestorm, Captain Atom, Major Force, and Peacemaker into three units. First Firestorm and Captain Atom force Kobra spaceark from orbit, then a second unit consisting of Checkmate and Suicide Squad members board the ship. From inside, Manhunter works to free the hostages held by Kobra, including Dr. Megala. During the attack, Kobra is angered and decides to utilize his microwave weapon to defeat his foes.<br />

Suicide Squad: The Janus Directive TPB (2016)<br />
<br />
Synopsis:<br />
The combined forces of Checkmate, the Suicide Squad, Project Atom, and several other heroes assault the space ark of Kobra. Inside, the teams find Manhunter who had infiltrated Kobra's ninja army. During the battle Silent Majority and Lady Liberty are both killed. Kobra tries to escape, but Manhunter stops him.<br />
<br />
Fearing that the ark will crash into a populated area, Sarge Steel orders a nuclear strike which will kill all those still on board. Firestorm and Captain Atom destroy the missile before it can harm anyone<br />
In the aftermath, the President reorganizes the intelligence community. Sarge Steel, head of the CBI, is appointed as an overseers. Wade Eiling, head of Project Atom, now reports directly to Steel. Harry Stein retains control of Checkmate which is now independent of Task Force X which has been resolved. Peacemaker is assigned to Checkmate. Major Victory is assigned to the Suicide Squad which continues under Amanda Waller's leadership.<br />

As per the episode name, we are continuing our look at... The Janus Directive.<br />
<br />
First I introduce my special guest, The Irresponsible..err The Irredeemable Shag. Shag talks about himself a little (a subject matter he loves and is an expert at) and about Firestorm's history.<br />
<br />
During our conversation, he mentions some material that was sent out to comic shops a month before hand. You can view that at:<br />

Synopsis: from Mikes<br />
Following the public exposure of the Suicide Squad's activities, Amanda Waller is called to testify before a senate committee led by Warren Eden. To ensure, that the individual Squad members are unavailable to give testimony, Waller sends the team on a mission to East Africa to rescue Sister Agnes Martinon. Nemesis quits the group rather than comply with Waller's orders. Simon LaGrieve also tenders his resignation.<br />
The Bronze Tiger leads the Squad to Africa where they locate the rebel camp where Martinon is believed to be held. They arrive too late as troops from the African nation's current government has already attacked the camp. They have taken Martinon and they have no intentions of setting her free.<br />

Following the alien invasion of Earth, a group of terrorists takes over the House of Parliament in England. Checkmate Knight Lionel Hawkins responds to the threat. He defeats the gunmen who, although human, have aligned themselves with the aliens. The group's leadership remains at large and is planning to assassinate the queen. Checkmate tracks the group and captures most of them. Only four men escape. When they stage their attack at the estate of Lord Benchly, the Knight thwarts their attack. He is nearly killed by the leader of the terrorists, but Scott Jameson shoots the gunmen before he can execute Hawkins.<br />

Synopsis (from <a href="http://www.mikesamazingworld.com/mikes/" target="_blank">Mike's Amazing World of Comics</a>):<br />
During the alien invasion of Earth, Cape Canaveral was attacked. The damage set back the American space program. One shuttle, the Atlantis commanded by Colonel Ben Rogers, survived the attack. An urgent mission is put together for the shuttle team to launch a tri-sat defense satellite. However, a series of technology thefts lead Checkmate to believe that someone inside the space program is trying to sabotage the mission.<br />
Knight Connie Webb joins the shuttle crew. She uncovers flight engineer Dick Guilardi, who has taken navigation technology intended for a planned Mars mission. He dies before he can reveal his plan or his accomplices.<br />
<br />
When the mission gets underway, Colonel Rogers reveals himself as another traitor. He tries to guide the shuttle toward the alien fleet in orbit. He hopes to gain interstellar technology from the aliens. However, before they can reach the fleet, it leaves orbit following the alien defeat by Earth's heroes. Webb takes down Rogers and completes the mission to launch the satellite.<br />
Before they return to Earth, the remaining crew witnesses a small alien ship fire a device toward Earth which detonates in an explosion of black light.<br />

They covertly send three knights into the country to meet with local rebel groups. They also kidnap a Quracan minister who reveals that the supply of arms has been consolidated in a central location due to Checkmate's previous operations.<br /><br />When the time is right, the order is given and the rebel groups begin a campaign of chaos throughout the capital city of Al Kuwait. Checkmate's knights then enter the compound where the weapons are stored and plant explosives. An assassin who has tangled with Checkmate on two other occasions awaits them. He wounds Winston O'Donnell just as he activates the bomb's timer. A female Knight named Beth then kills the assassin. Beth is forced to leave Winston behind to die in the explosion which destroys the weapons.<br /><br />By the following morning, the Quracan troops have restored order. The rebel uprising fails to unseat President Marlo. However, Checkmate primary mission to destroy the weapons was successful, though it cost them the life of one of their own.<br /><br />Then we take a look at....<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
I bring to you our amazing... <a href="http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/archive.org/download/TaskForceX/Episode026.mp3" target="_blank">Episode 26: Checkmate 5, Suicide Squad 18 and Annual 1</a><br />
<br />
Still a little delayed due to sickness and home life, but we're back... the 26th episode of Task Force X. Also due to trying to get this episode out, there may be a bit more pauses and some background noise than I like, again, I apologize.<br />
<br />
<div>
This month we have three character profiles and we look at three different comics.....<br />
<br />
First up, I do a character profile of Shade The Changing Man.<br />
