About this Collection
This volume collects issues #7-12 of the 2016 Suicide Squad series, following the team as they confront the mysterious Nightshade Odyssey—a mission that pits Task Force X against supernatural threats and internal betrayals. Writer Rob Williams and artists including John Romita Jr. and Eddy Barrows continue the darkly comedic, action-packed saga of Amanda Waller's expendable villains forced into government service.
In "The Final Price," Nightshade shares her haunting past with Father Craemer as the clock ticks down to her return to her home dimension with the rest of Task Force X, setting the stage for a high-stakes mission to rescue her brother. Written by Bob Greenberger and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by Rob Liefeld, this issue blends personal stakes with the grim urgency of the Suicide Squad’s next assignment. The cover by Jerry Bingham captures the tension with a striking, shadowed portrait of Nightshade at a pivotal moment.
