Suicide Squad #1
This volume kicks off the 2017 Rebirth era for the Suicide Squad, collecting issues #1-4 of the new series. Task Force X is reassembled under Amanda Waller's command, with a roster including Harley Quinn, Deadshot, and Captain Boomerang, as they are sent to retrieve a mysterious object known as the Black Vault from a hostile dimension. The story, written by Rob Williams with art by Jim Lee and others, sets a darker, more dangerous tone for the team's black-ops missions.
"Rebirth" marks the explosive launch of the 2017 Suicide Squad series, introducing a new era for the team with a pivotal moment in their history. Written by Rob Williams and illustrated by Philip Tan, with inks by Jonathan Glapion, Scott Hanna, and Sandu Florea, the story follows Amanda Waller as she convinces the President to keep the Suicide Squad operational—under the command of Colonel Rick Flag, a man she retrieves from Guantanamo Bay. With Flag now in charge, the team’s first mission takes them to Mongolia to stop a rogue scientist from unleashing a meta-bomb that could empower a dangerous terrorist faction. The cover by Jim Lee and Scott Williams captures the high-stakes intensity of the new chapter.
In "The Black Vault Part One: I Wanna Be Sedated," the Suicide Squad is sent on a high-stakes mission to recover a mysterious cosmic artifact stolen by a rogue Russian faction and hidden in an undersea base. The operation begins in chaos when their transport crashes into the ocean, leaving the team stranded and fighting not just the deep, but each other.
In the icy aftermath of a crash landing, the Suicide Squad races against time to reach a hidden Russian base, where a mysterious cosmic object pulses with unknown power. Guided by the enigmatic meta-human Hack, they push deeper into the facility—only to face a terrifying emergence from the object itself: General Zod, his heat vision blazing, as Captain Boomerang is consumed in an instant.
In "The Black Vault Part Three: Bad Brain," the Suicide Squad finds themselves trapped beneath the Arctic ice, fighting General Zod and a relentless Russian military force. When the Annihilation Brigade—Russia’s twisted counterpart to the Squad—punches through the ice, the mission takes a deadly turn.
In "The Black Vault Part 4: Beat on the Brat," the Suicide Squad finds themselves trapped deep beneath the sea, fighting General Zod, Russian troops, and the Annihilation Brigade with no way out—only their wits and firepower to keep them alive.
In "Boomerang Agent of Oz," Captain Boomerang spins a tale of his past as a covert operative for the Australian Secret Service, weaving a narrative that’s as sharp as his throwing stars. Waller listens, skeptical, her sharp eyes missing nothing—whether the story is truth or another trick in his arsenal.
In "Choose," Katana confronts the weight of her past as Waller examines the tragic loss of her husband Maseo and their children—murdered by Maseo’s brother Takeo using the Soultaker sword. The story centers on the moment she took up the blade to avenge her family, a choice that echoes through her present.
