Task Force Z #1

Deb Donovan finds herself caught in the crossfire as Red Hood clashes with a rogue faction of undercover agents in Gotham. While Batman moves in to rescue her, Jason Todd is taken captive—only to be offered a deal that blurs the line between enemy and ally, leaving his next move uncertain.

In "Chapter 1: Death's Door," Red Hood leads a team of re-animated former villains—among them Mr. Bloom, Hanna Hobart, and Crazy Quilt—on a high-stakes mission to capture a fugitive. As the group navigates the shadows of a world that never truly let them go, Jason Todd begins to question the true motives behind the mysterious organization that brought them back.

In "Chapter 2 Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow," Red Hood navigates a tense mission with the reassembled Task Force Z, where Crispin’s unexpected tech keeps the team one step ahead. When they collide with the Kobra cult in the snow-laden ruins of Gotham, old alliances and hidden agendas begin to surface—leaving the team’s next move as uncertain as the storm closing in.

In "Chapter 3: The Same Coin," Jason Todd—reanimated with Lazarus Resin—grapples with his return to the living, his new reality complicated by Deadshot’s reluctant resurrection and the team’s uneasy dynamics. As Hanna Hobart tries to steady Jason’s resolve, Crispin tasks the group with eliminating the last of the Kobra cult members—only to reveal a threat neither expected.

In "Chapter 4" of Task Force Z #1, Jason Todd confronts Two-Face—only to uncover that Harvey Dent is the hidden mastermind behind the project. As Amanda Waller arrives to shut things down, Jason takes charge, leading the team into a new mystery that echoes the dark origins of Task Force Z.

In "Chapter 5 A Whole Lotta Characters Goin' On!", Red Hood and Task Force Z stumble upon a rival group operating under Dr. Celia Shelley, only to be ambushed by a third faction led by KGBeast—claiming to be government operatives hunting both teams. With Task Force Z captured and divided, each member grapples with their own agenda: Two-Face plots a secret move to save his team, Mr. Bloom eyes personal gain, and KGBeast presses his interrogation for Amanda Waller’s orders.

In "Chapter 6" of Task Force Z #1, the surviving members of the infamous squad—Red Hood, Sundowner, Arkham Knight, and others—rally to rescue Jason Todd from KGBeast, only to face a new threat: Batman. Flashbacks reveal the dark roots of the Lazarus Resin, tracing its creation through a secret team led by Resurrection Man Mitch Shelley and Mr. Bloom, whose betrayal set a dangerous legacy in motion.
