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.

Having learned of the existence of the Suicide Squad, the President wants to shut it down. Waller convinces the President to allow it to continue with a military man in charge, Colonel Rick Flag. When the president approves, Waller travels to Guantanamo Bay where Flag has been held as a captive since refusing to carry-out illegal orders from a superior some time ago. She convinces him to lead the Squad. Their first mission: travel to Mongolia to rescue a scientist who has built a meta-bomb that, when detonated, will give super powers to the terrorist group that possesses it.
