Outsiders/Checkmate: Checkout book by Judd Winick

"Spinning out of the events of the hit series 52, "Checkout" is the saga that leaves two teams changed forever! Something sinister is happening on Oolong Island, home to mad scientists and their terrifying creations. But the island lies too close to China and North Korea for the U.N.'s metahuman monitoring forces, Checkmate, to do anything about it. Nightwing's team of Outsiders, however, was created for just this sort of mission. The rogue super-team goes to places no other heroes can go, no matter the consequences. So when Checkmate deputizes the Outsiders (by means of kidnapping them), it's off to Oolong Island and the horrors that await. When these two teams on either side of the law join forces, personalities are sure to clash, secrets are sure to be revealed ... and not everyone is guaranteed to make it back in one piece"--Page 4 of cover Published By on 2008-01-30
