About this Collection
This volume collects issues #37-42 of the 2018 Suicide Squad series, following the team as they face off against the mysterious criminal organization known as the Dragon's Hoard. Writer Robbie Thompson and artist Eduardo Pansica deliver a high-stakes story involving betrayal, magical artifacts, and the ever-present threat of the squad's explosive collars.
In "Debt of Honor," the Suicide Squad is scattered across the globe, each member entangled in a deadly mission: Gort, Vertigo, and Lawton clash with the Khmer Rouge in a brutal showdown, while Captain Ziuko and the Soviet Dead Men press Boomerang and Carmichael for answers—Lamia watching silently. Meanwhile, Bronze Tiger and Mark Shaw are captured by the Yakuza, Katana hunts for vengeance, and the Atom must shield Amanda from Catseye’s relentless pursuit. Written by John Ostrander and Kim Yale, with dynamic art by Geof Isherwood and striking cover by Karl Kesel, this issue delivers high-stakes action and relentless tension across multiple fronts.
