Suicide Squad: No Man Escapes The Manhunters
Here's a little something something for all you Millennium-loving readers out there: issue #9 of the Ostrander Suicide Squad series tied into little post-COIE crossover event and features the rank and file of DC villainy going up against the Manhunters. Alternatively, this post may be considered the 'Ballad of Slipknot'. Slipknot is an old Fury of Firestorm (penned at the time by Ostrander) foe, natch.

Round about four pages out of a 22-page tale. Credits go to John Ostrander on writing and Luke McDonnell on the pencils. Scans belong to two fellows operating under the nom de geurre of HaCsA and Grundy.

Slipknot decides that, y'know what, Manhunters, really not the type of guys you want to be fighting.

Which goes to show that you can escape the Manhunters, but not the Wall.

Don't worry, they live and Deadshot and Boomerbutt get plenty of opportunity to banter some more.

Heee good ol' Boomerbutt. He fit right in on the Squad because he had the same "you're disposable" attitude that the higher-ups did. He really was good for the book and the book was good for him. That was from the days when DC could make good editorial decisions.

As a Battle of the Planets fangirl, I absolutely howled with laughter the first time I saw the Captain's sonic boomerang. Alright, now who else is picturing our Captain in the birdsuit? Anybody? Anybody? Aw come on, I can't be the only one left, can I? No motto at all? (Maybe one day I will write a fic about the Captain and the Pied Piper getting their heads together to create that sonic boomerang. I'm sure there's a Boring Story in that...)
