Suicide Squad #2
This volume collects issues #6-8 of the 2017 Suicide Squad series, part of the DC Universe Rebirth era. The story follows the team as they face a new threat in the form of a rogue Superman clone, while dealing with internal conflicts and the ever-present danger of their explosive collars. Writer Rob Williams and artist John Romita Jr. deliver a high-stakes tale that tests the Squad's loyalty and survival instincts.
In "Going Sane Part One: Shock Treatment," Rob Williams and Carlos D'Anda dive into the traumatic past of Waylon Jones, revealing the origins of his pain through a haunting flashback. As Waller probes his memories, we see young Waylon’s bond with a girl named Emma and the brutal moment that shattered his innocence. The story unfolds with quiet dread, anchored by Jim Lee’s intense cover and D'Anda’s powerful interior art, setting the stage for a deeply personal reckoning.
In "Going Sane Part One: Shock Treatment," the Suicide Squad returns to Belle Reve with the mysterious Black Vault sphere holding General Zod, setting off a tense race between Waller’s scientists and the team’s growing unease. As Flag questions the wisdom of taming a Kryptonian warlord, new recruit Hack becomes a focal point when Harcourt begins hunting for the data she’s secretly stored in her mind—data tied to a Russian base and a past that may not stay buried.
In "Going Sane Part Two: Teenage Lobotomy," Harley finds herself strangely lucid as chaos erupts at Belle Reve, where a bloodlust-driven frenzy consumes everyone—including Amanda's scientists and General Zod's captors. While the madness spreads, Harley’s clarity becomes her burden, forcing her to confront the madness around her with a rare, unsettling awareness.
In "Going Sane Part Four: I Believe in Miracles," Harley Quinn races against time to break General Zod’s hold over the Suicide Squad, her resolve tested as rage consumes her teammates. Just when all seems lost, the unexpected return of Captain Boomerang—revived through a digital echo of Digger stored in Hack’s mind—offers a fragile hope, but the cost of this miracle remains uncertain.
In this eight-page Prelude to *Justice League vs. Suicide Squad*, Killer Frost arrives at Belle Reve, her icy past briefly recalled as Colonel Flag formally introduces her to the rest of the Suicide Squad. The story sets the stage for uneasy alliances, with frost and fire simmering beneath the surface of a team built on tension and redemption.
In "Evil Anonymous," Harley Quinn channels her psychiatric training into an unexpected mission: founding a support group for supervillains, offering a rare space where they can confront their darker impulses. As she guides a diverse roster of criminals through their struggles, the line between healing and manipulation begins to blur.
