Synopsis
Setting the world s most dangerous super-criminals against the most insidious threats to national security: that s the idea behind the elite black-ops unit officially designated as Task Force X. It s perfect on paper.
But the real world rarely goes according to plan. Threats evolve. Teammates turn on each other. Blood and betrayals flow like rivers. And that s why Task Force X is better known as the Suicide Squad.
Vic Sage aims to change the equation. Replacing Amanda Waller as the puppet-master of Suicide Squad s motley crew, he s introducing wild cards like Deathstroke and the Joker s Daughter to whip the existing team-Deadshot, Harley Quinn, and Black Manta-into shape. But the world s deadliest assassin and the Clown Princess of Crime have ideas of their own and no explosive implants to keep them in line.
Can this new Suicide Squad survive-or will it implode before it even begins?
