Suicide Squad #3
This collection continues the Rebirth era of the Suicide Squad, following Amanda Waller's team of incarcerated super-villains on black-ops missions. In 'Burning Down The House,' the Squad faces internal betrayal and a catastrophic threat that could level their base of operations, testing the fragile alliances among its deadly members. Written by Rob Williams, this volume collects issues from the 2017 series, blending explosive action with the dark humor and moral ambiguity that define the team.
In "Burning Down the House Part 1: Life Inside," the Suicide Squad is reeling after Amanda Waller’s removal from command, with Harcourt now in charge as they launch raids on Russian bases in pursuit of the Annihilation Brigade. While Flag pushes for shore leave and Hack deciphers encrypted data that hints at a mole within the team, Rustam escapes from Blackgate Penitentiary, setting off a chain of tensions that tests the Squad’s fragile cohesion. Written by Rob Williams and brought to life by John Romita Jr. with inks by Richard Friend, colors by Dean White, and letters by Pat Brosseau, this issue’s cover by Romita Jr. and Friend captures the squad’s uneasy shift in power.
In "Burning Down the House Part 1: Life Inside," Amanda Waller, stripped of her command and under investigation, focuses her efforts on tracking down Rustam, while Harcourt takes charge of the Suicide Squad as they launch raids on Russian bases in pursuit of the Annihilation Brigade. With Flag requesting shore leave and Hack uncovering encrypted data hinting at a mole within the Squad, tensions rise—just as Rustam orchestrates a daring breakout at Blackgate Penitentiary.
In "Life Outside," the Suicide Squad gets a rare break in New Orleans, where Boomerang throws a wild party, Harley Quinn reflects on her choices, and Lawton faces an emotional reunion with his daughter—while Waller’s quiet moment on the streets ends in a chilling, unexpected confrontation.
In the aftermath of a brutal ambush, Amanda Waller lies dying in a hospital, her fate hanging in the balance as doctors fight to save her. Meanwhile, Rustam infiltrates Blackgate Prison, breaking into a high-security vault to free members of The Burning World, a radical faction with a dangerous agenda. With the Suicide Squad deployed to stop him, Harcourt orchestrates a digital takeover to bring the team into the fray—but as Rustam’s allies escape with Flag and Katana, the line between mission and chaos begins to blur.
In "Those Left Behind," Amanda Waller’s funeral draws only a handful—Harcourt and her estranged children—setting the stage for a quiet but tense investigation. With Waller dead and her final days shrouded in mystery, Harcourt begins piecing together who might have silenced her, casting suspicion on the Suicide Squad members who were in New Orleans at the time of her murder.
In "Burning Down the House Part 3: Being Good," tensions flare when Harley Quinn accuses Deadshot of murdering Waller—only for him to reveal he was working for Rustam all along. As Rustam attempts to sway Flag and Katana to his side, Djinn moves in from the shadows, hacking Belle Reve’s systems to free the Squad and disable their brain bombs.
In "Burning Down the House Part 4: Hit it," Harley Quinn is driven by rage after discovering Hack’s death, turning her fury on Harcourt, whom she suspects is behind it. With the Suicide Squad scattered and broken, she sets out alone to confront Rustam and Deadshot, chasing vengeance through the wreckage of her past. The question isn’t whether she’ll fight—but whether she’ll survive the fire she’s igniting.
In "Live Free. Die.", guilt drives Boomerang to team up with Croc and the Enchantress in a desperate bid to aid Harley against the relentless Rustam, the Burning World, and Deadshot—only to discover an unexpected ally standing in their way.
In the aftermath of a brutal clash, Amanda Waller returns from the dead to reassert control over the Suicide Squad, rallying them against Rustam and the Burning Sun. With secrets unraveling, it’s revealed how Waller orchestrated her own demise and Deadshot’s betrayal to turn Rustam’s forces against her political enemies. Now back in charge, Waller sets her sights on uncovering who killed Hack—her next move already shaping the Squad’s dangerous new mission.
In "War Crimes," the Suicide Squad is sent to the Netherlands to rescue George Carmody, the former Secretary of Defense, after he’s captured by Strikeforce Europa for alleged war crimes. But as the team battles their way through enemy forces, they’re also shadowed by Shado, hired by Carmody’s former company to prevent him from exposing dangerous secrets.
