“The Secret Origin of the Suicide Squad”

Part of DC's 1987 Legends crossover (Chapter 22), this Secret Origins issue spotlights the Suicide Squad — and the cover by Luke McDonnell and Dave Hunt makes a strong first impression. A split composition contrasts a military officer in full regalia alongside a looming dinosaur and armed soldiers on one side, with a sharp-featured man and a colorful ensemble of costumed figures — including what appears to be a woman in orange — on the other, hinting at decades of Squad history waiting to be told. With John Ostrander writing and the cover promising "40 years in the making — the full story revealed at last," this is a satisfying deep dive into one of DC's most unconventional teams.
