THE SUICIDE SQUAD IS DEAD -
LONG LIVE THE SUICIDE SQUAD!
Killed in action. That's the official story on the Suicide Squad, the crack team of the world's most dangerous super-villains assembled to do the jobs too dirty for the good guys to handle. Also known as Task Force X, they've been X'ed out, leaving their minder and master, Amanda Waller, behind to pick up the pieces.
At least that's what they want you to believe.
Thanks to Harley Quinn's secret contact on the outside, the Squad has faked their deaths, leaving Harley, Deadshot, Cheetah and Diablo free to live life on their own terms... or so it seems. But by escaping both Waller and the walls of Belle Reve Prison, they may have dug their own graves. They've fallen into the clutches of the Fist of Cain, the insane death cult that helped them play dead - and who are now trying to make their ruse a reality!
To survive, the Suicide Squad must turn to their one-time captors - and Deadshot's hated rival, Captain Boomerang - for help, or they'll finally live up to their name...
It's the end of an era for the team behind the blockbuster movie, as creators Tim Seeley (GRAYSON, BATMAN ETERNAL) and Juan Ferreyra (GOTHAM BY MIDNIGHT) seal their fate in NEW SUICIDE SQUAD VOL. 4: KILL ANYTHING! Collects issues (2014-2016) #17-22 and a special preview of SUICIDE SQUAD: REBIRTH #1.

Get ready for this summer's anticipated movie SUICIDE SQUAD with the comics that inspired the film, including fan-favorite characters Harley Quinn, Deadshot and Captain Boomerang!
THE WORLD'S WORST HEROES HAVE GONE ROGUE!
Task Force X team members Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, Black Manta and Parasite are killers being given a chance to do good for the U.S. government...not that they have a choice. One step out of line and their handler, Amanda Waller, can set off their surgically implanted bombs. But if they play along, this "Suicide Squad" might just be their shot at redemption.
When Waller discovers that Task Force X is being manipulated by a shadowy corporate conspiracy, she decides to take her team off the grid. Now, without their bombs to keep them in check, the only thing keeping the world's worst heroes from becoming full-blown villains again is their desire to see justice served.
Will that be enough to keep Waller's former prisoners from killing their jailer?

Writer Sean Ryan (Nova) and artist Philippe Briones (Captain America Corps) set villain against villain in an epic battle for the greater good in NEW SUICIDE SQUAD VOL. 2: MONSTERS!
A splinter sect has broken off from the legendary League of Assassins. Like their predecessors, this new League is made up of some of the deadliest killers on the planet. But unlike Ra's al Ghul's followers, these renegade assassins have no plans to remain hidden in the shadows.
With countless innocent lives at stake, there's only one team ready to handle this new terrorist threat: Deadshot. Black Manta. Captain Boomerang. Harley Quinn. Reverse Flash. Parasite.
It's up to Amanda Waller's Task Force X to destroy this terrorist organization from the inside, and that means going deep undercover. They're being sent far behind enemy lines to face a foe like nothing they've ever encountered. And if they don't all make it back? That's why they're called the Suicide Squad.

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? Find out in NEW SUICIDE SQUAD: PURE INSANITY, the first action-packed chapter of an all new Suicide Squad saga by writer Sean Ryan (BATMAN, SUICIDE SQUAD) and an elite squad of artists!

THE WALL HAS FALLEN
Amanda Waller has lost her iron grip on the Suicide Squad, pushed aside in favor of a new commander. While she lays plans to take back Task Force X, a supernatural secret society is quietly moving in for the kill.
But an even more powerful enemy awaits - and it's an enemy within. A traitor in the ranks is scheming to use the Squad as cannon fodder in a bloody power struggle. And the battle won't take place in the war-torn Middle East, the shadowy streets of Gotham City or anywhere else on Earth. It's happening someplace even deadlier, even darker.
APOKOLIPS.
Now the home of Darkseid, the embodiment of all evil, will be the scene of the greatest fight the Squad has ever faced. The full fury of his most merciless minions will be unleashed against Waller and her team - including Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, Poison Ivy and more. And by the time it's all over, the Suicide Squad will live up to its name...

Includes SUICIDE SQUAD (1987-1992) #31-39.

Amanda "the Wall" Waller has fought tooth and nail to keep her Suicide Squad of metahuman black ops agents in operation. Together with Checkmate, a covert government spy agency, these two teams make up Waller's Task Force X, taking on the missions that the United States government deems too dangerous for anyone else. But the members of Task Force X aren't the only ones doing the government's dirty work...
When Waller uncovers a conspiracy code named the "Janus Directive," it becomes clear that another government agency intends to wipe out Task Force X, and body count is not a consideration.
Is this the beginning of an all-out secret war between the country's most dangerous operatives, or is someone else pulling the strings to further their own endgame? And if that's the case, has someone finally done the impossible and outsmarted the Wall?

The Squad will go on...
Or will it? Forget the terrorists occupying American soil, the guerrilla factions killing each other off, or the aliens invading Earth. It's the war at home that may spell the end of Director Amanda Waller and Task Force X.
Waller's "Suicide Squad" of incarcerated super-villains and troubled agents has worked effectively under the radar - until now. No one, not even her staff in the Belle Reve metahuman prison facility, trusts "The Wall." Plus, rising tensions among ever-changing Squad members mean that they've become a bigger threat to each other than to their opponents.
And when government officials with presidential aspirations discover the existence of Task Force X, Waller is forced to do whatever it takes to keep her team from being exposed to the world - even if it means crossing the thin moral line that separates her from the disposable villains recruited for her impossible assignments.

While the team is sent to take down the island headquarters of a Colombian drug cartel, Rick Flagg takes an all-new Suicide Squad on a deadly mission that sees them go head-to-head with the Doom Patrol!
