Suicide Squad by John Ostrander Omnibus Vol. 1
Part of the DC Omnibus guide — every release, in reading order
Discover the definitive and explosive introduction to the modern version of the Suicide Squad by comics legend John Ostrander.
When new threats emerge deemed too dangerous for the United States military, Batman, and even Superman, who is called in to answer the call of duty? Seems like a job for Task Force X, also known as the Suicide Squad. Led by the no-nonsense federal agent Amanda Waller, this band of notorious super-criminals are faced with a dilemma: accept these highly dangerous missions and stare death in the face to earn their freedom or rot forever in prison. Comics legend John Ostrander defines the Suicide Squad for the modern age in this brutal tale of war and redemption.
