For DC Milou gave a beating to our villain of the month while Lel recruited Swamp Thing and Dawn added Firestorm to her team.
And of course we need to have a new villain of the month. Therefore I give you Deadshot to beat in September. As hopefully your summer is in full swing and Suicide Squad is a popcorn movie I wanted a villain that shouldn't be too hard to beat for a summer fun time. Enjoy!
Deadshot
Active from 01/09/2016 - 30/09/2016
1. Gun for Hire
Read a book with a gun on the cover or with a mercenary as a pov character.
2. Deadshot
Read a book "dead" or "shot" in the title or with a sniper/assassin as a pov character.
3. Suicide Squad
Read a book with a group of armed characters (3+ characters) on the cover or where a pov character turns from a villain into a hero (I'm also fine with an anti-hero as a pov character).
