Future State: Suicide Squad #1

Part of DC's 2021 Future State publishing initiative, this first issue drops readers into a tomorrow where a grim, battle-ready Batman dominates the foreground alongside a Wonder Woman-styled warrior, a green-clad figure, an aged white-haired character in golden armor, and a young speedster — all framed against a sky blazing with fire and destruction. The cover by Javier Fernández crackles with urgent energy, positioning this ragged assembly as something far more desperate than a conventional team. And with a Black Adam feature story also tucked inside, this oversized issue offers plenty of reasons to see where DC's future is headed.
