Love that series. Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, Bronze Tiger (another great black character in this excellent series), Shade the Changing Man, Lashina (of the Female Furies) and scores of obscure characters and villains... Ostrander was so great at exploring the different villain mentalities and psyche. And most of all, there was Amanda Waller. Rick Flagg was supposed to be the leader-hero of this series but he was quickly overshadowed by Amanda Waller. I agree, one of the stronguest personality (black or not) ever created at DC.

Actually I've rarely liked anything by John Ostrander. I still think Amanda Waller's great though! I tried but just didn't like Suicide Squad. Actually I've rarely liked anything by John Ostrander.

Amanda Waller is the Queen of the DC Universe as far as I'm concerned. Suicide Squad was so good. I can't wait for the mini. White Queen of Checkmate?

She was a big part of the reason I stuck with Suicide Squad. I loved that series. OStrander & Yale did great stuff.

I particularly like how often she was played against Maxwell Lord at the height of the JLI era- they were polar opposites as leaders and it gave a very real dynamic to both titles.
