Unmasked: Amanda Waller’s Nefarious Partners in Absolute Power
By August Tales Comics
Amanda Waller’s latest venture into darkness is stirring up the comic world. The “Absolute Power” event has been a no-holds-barred depiction of Waller’s dive into a new world order, and her morality has taken a steep nosedive. Until now, the identities of her mysterious power-brokers remained hidden. But in Absolute Power: Task Force VII #5, the truth comes crashing down.
Unveiling the Players: Waller’s Power Alliance
In this latest issue, penned by Alex Paknadel and brought to life by Pete Woods, the spotlight shifts to Steve Trevor. Wonder Woman’s loyal confidant, Trevor, infiltrates Waller’s hero blockade, risking everything to expose the truth about her underhanded dealings.
Trevor’s investigation leads him to an unexpected discovery—Waller’s communication with an unknown entity through an interdimensional Zoom-like setup. His efforts seem in vain until he recognizes a familiar, chilling voice. The final panel delivers a shocking revelation: Superwoman is back, and she’s not alone. The malevolent Donna Troy of Earth-3 has reentered the fray, aligned with the Crime Syndicate of America (CSA).
The Crime Syndicate of America: A Dark Legacy
The Crime Syndicate’s return is a seismic twist in Waller’s plot for dominance. Born from Earth-3, where good is evil and heroes are villains, the CSA first appeared in 1964. They are Earth-3’s twisted mirror image of the Justice League, with Superwoman—a relentless destroyer of Man’s World—at their helm.
Amanda Waller’s prior excursions into Earth-3 hinted at her admiration for its ruthless, might-is-right philosophy. Now, with the CSA by her side, Waller’s vision of a hero-less world seems within reach. Yet, the CSA faces a daunting challenge on Earth-Prime, where good has a history of winning.
The Fallout: What’s Next for Waller and the CSA?
With the revelation of Waller’s partnership with the CSA, the stakes in Absolute Power have skyrocketed. How will Earth-Prime’s heroes respond to this new threat? Can Waller and her newfound allies truly reshape the world in their image? And what does this mean for the future of the multiverse?
For collectors and fans alike, Absolute Power: Task Force VII #5 is available now. Dive into the latest chapter of this thrilling saga and witness the unfolding of Waller’s grand scheme.
