About this Collection

This volume collects issues #17-20 of the Rebirth-era Suicide Squad series, as well as the Suicide Squad: Black Files one-shot. The story finds Amanda Waller's Task Force X dealing with the fallout of the 'Drowning Earth' arc, as the team faces threats from both a rogue government agent and a mysterious new villain known as the Earthlings on Fire. Writer Rob Williams continues his run, balancing dark humor with high-stakes action for DC's most dangerous super-villain team.

In "Heroes and Villains," General Zod—under the influence of a Kryptonite brain bomb—joins the Suicide Squad on a mission to Zimbabwe, where they uncover a hidden prison housing captured meta-humans being exploited by a secret organization known as the People. Back at Belle Reve, a shocking betrayal unfolds when Harcourt is revealed as an agent of the People, only to be swiftly eliminated by Waller, who had anticipated the move all along. Written by Rob Williams and illustrated by Tony S. Daniel, with cover art by Daniel and Sandu Florea, this issue deepens the mystery of the People’s network and the true cost of loyalty in a world where no one is who they seem.
