Legends #3

"Send for... the Suicide Squad!" delivers a gritty, high-stakes look at a world where heroes are being pushed out by political pressure and public fear. As President Reagan’s order takes hold and the Justice League retreats, a newly formed Task Force "X" — a squad of villains offered freedom in exchange for service — faces its first test, while Robin (Jason Todd) is left vulnerable after a heroic act turns violent. John Ostrander and Len Wein craft a tense, character-driven story, with John Byrne’s dynamic art and Karl Kesel’s sharp inks bringing the chaos to life, all under the stark, memorable cover by Byrne.
