Amanda Waller's journey has brought her to hell and back - from the blood-soaked streets of Chicago to the over-the-top exploits of her very own TASK FORCE X (aka the SUICIDE SQUAD). Now, with the clock ticking on ultimate victory over the metahumans of planet earth, the origin of DC's most methodical menace draws to a close. But what secrets lie within the terrifying alien mind of the Brainiac Queen - and will THE WALL survive the very seeds she herself has sown? All this and Rustam's revenge in the finale of ABSOLUTE POWER: ORIGINS.

Waller's motivations might be confusing, but this series was able to depict the character's core attributes effectively and faithfully to what has come before. Her quest for absolute power has been a bumpy ride, but we eventually landed safely. Read Full Review
