A Secretary has been kidnapped by people who want to use his info against the nation and is up to Amanda Waller and her Task Force X to prevent that from happening one way or another.
Guess what? John Ostrander is back to the franchise that owes him the most.
As most people should know, Ostrander created this particular incarnation of the team and gave them a new direction that made them classic staples in the DCU. Considering how underwhelming the actual new title is, I was anticipating this particular story quite a bit so how does it fares?
Well, is okay but not particularly great.
People who are familiar with the writer's stories about this franchise should know how this goes, is the typical Ostrander story that combines political intrigue and action scenes, and as far as that goes, is entertaining at the very least. The action scenes are well-paced while the reason behind their mission is understandable and gets an interesting but predictable twist at the end, the character dynamic is also enjoyable. Once again, this is classic stuff by the creator.
However, there's nothing that screams "great" unfortunately. Everything is executed in a decent way without any real flaws about the craft but it doesn't manage to impress you about any of its aspects. Is kinda by the numbers.
Gus Vasquez and Carlos Rodriguez share art duties and their work is solid with a nice range of expressions for the characters and serviceable action scenes but again, is not really beautiful.
Overall, this is not as good as I was hoping but execution-wise, is at least better and more enjoyable than the current title.
