About this Collection
This volume collects issues #11-15 of the 2019 Suicide Squad series, concluding the storyline that sees the team facing a new threat from the mysterious organization known as the Revolutionaries. Writer Robbie Thompson and artists including Eduardo Pansica and Dexter Soy deliver a high-stakes mission that tests the loyalties of Task Force X members like Harley Quinn, Deadshot, and King Shark.
In "Legerdemain, Part One: Forces in Motion," DC's Suicide Squad faces a new kind of threat—not from outside, but from within, as a rival government-backed team emerges, leaving Amanda Waller unsettled. Meanwhile, Ifrit and Dybbuk make a surprising announcement about their future, and Count Vertigo makes a decisive choice that reshapes the political landscape of Vlatava. Written by John Ostrander and Kim Yale, with art by Geof Isherwood and inks by Robert Campanella and Andrew Pepoy, the issue unfolds with sharp tension and unexpected alliances. The cover by Geof Isherwood and Karl Kesel captures the moment’s intensity.
