About this Collection

This 2019 DC collection brings together the four-issue miniseries focusing on Katana, a key member of the Suicide Squad. The story sees the sword-wielding heroine targeted by the terrorist organization Kobra, who seek revenge for past conflicts. Written by Mike W. Barr with art by Diogenes Neves, the volume delves into Katana's personal history and her struggle with the mystical soul-stealing blade she wields.

In "The Revenge of Kobra [Part One]," Katana leads the Suicide Squad on a mission to dismantle a Kobra stronghold, only to face a shocking twist when her enemy seemingly falls—but not for long. Back in St. Roch, Tatsu grapples with the growing burden of protecting Halo, her adopted daughter, while seeking guidance from the spirit of her late husband, Maseo, within the Soultaker sword. Meanwhile, Kobra survives, driven by a dark purpose: to resurrect Lady Eve by claiming her soul from the sword’s realm, where she’s already plotting her return. With Mike W. Barr’s sharp storytelling and Philippe Briones’ dynamic art—enhanced by Gabe Eltaeb’s vivid colors and Pat Brosseau’s crisp lettering—this issue sets a tense, supernatural stage. Cliff Richards’ cover captures the moment of Katana’s confrontation, hinting at the storm to come.
