About this Collection

This volume collects the opening arc of the 2022 Suicide Squad series, written by Robbie Thompson with art by Eduardo Pansica. Task Force X is reassembled under a new directive, with Amanda Waller dispatching a roster of incarcerated supervillains on a mission that challenges the team's usual brutal methods. The story introduces a fresh lineup and sets the stage for a more politically charged take on the classic concept of expendable antiheroes forced to earn their freedom through deadly black-ops assignments.

In "Task Force: Next!", Amanda Waller pushes her ruthless agenda as Bloodsport ventures into Earth-3 to recruit new blood for the Suicide Squad—only to collide with Black Siren and, unexpectedly, Ultraman. Meanwhile, Peacemaker finds himself at odds with Waller over her next target: the enigmatic Swamp Thing, Levi Kamei. Written by Robbie Thompson and brought to life by Dexter Soy, Eduardo Pansica, Joe Prado, and a stellar team of inkers and colorists, this issue blends high-stakes tension with the series' signature dark edge. The cover by Eduardo Pansica and Júlio Ferreira captures the clash of worlds with sharp, dynamic flair.
