☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second volume of the Task Force Z series continues the story of a black-ops squad composed of resurrected supervillains, led by Red Hood and manipulated by the mysterious organization known as the Authority. Collecting issues #7-12, the arc titled 'What's Eating You?' delves deeper into the team's internal conflicts and the consequences of their unnatural second lives.
In "Chapter 7" of Task Force Z #2 (2023), Bloom's sudden assault on Jason and the team at headquarters throws their mission into chaos as he hunts for a crucial piece to continue his work at Powers International—something tied to reviving a corpse believed to be Bane. Flashing back months earlier, the origins of Task Force Z take shape as Two-Face, Amelia, and Delia reach out to Amanda Waller to enlist the Thinker’s help in implanting memories into the mysterious corpse, shaping it into the man they believe Bane to be. Written by Matthew Rosenberg and illustrated by Eddy Barrows, with inks by Eber Ferreira, colors by Adriano Lucas, and letters by Rob Leigh, the issue’s cover by Eddy Barrows and Eber Ferreira captures the tension with sharp, dynamic detail.
In "Chapter 7" of Task Force Z #2, Jason Todd leads a desperate mission with dwindling resources, sending the remaining members—Bane, Mister Freeze, and KGBeast—on a high-stakes recruitment run to bolster their ranks against Mr. Bloom and the Victim Syndicate. With only a finite supply of Lazarus Resin to keep the team functional, every choice carries weight, and the line between survival and collapse grows thinner with each passing moment.
In "Chapter 8" of Task Force Z #2, Two-Face, Solomon Grundy, and Madame Crow stage a chaotic diversion to lure Batman into the open, giving Red Hood a chance to infiltrate the new Batcave and steal the Lazarus Resin sample—only to be cornered by Oracle, Nightwing, Robin, and Batgirl. While the confrontation unfolds, Mr. Bloom presses forward with his own plans at Powers International, pushing his experiments on Man-Bat to dangerous new limits.
In "Chapter 9" of Task Force Z #2, Jason Todd leads the team into the heart of Powers International, where secrets and betrayals run deep. As tensions rise, Sundowner’s sudden turn against them forces a reckoning, while Bloom’s hidden plans unfold alongside Man-Bat’s growing instability. Meanwhile, a tense meeting between Two-Face and Black Mask sets a dangerous new course.
In "Chapter 10" from Task Force Z #2, Mr. Bloom's sudden assault on the Task Force Z headquarters sets off a desperate scramble as Jason Todd and the team race to protect their base—and uncover what Bloom is after. Flashing back to months earlier, the story reveals how Two-Face, Amelia Shelley, and her sister Delia enlisted Amanda Waller’s help to use the Thinker’s mind-altering tech on a mysterious corpse, hoping to implant the memories of Bane into it.
In "Chapter 11" from Task Force Z #2, Red Hood tracks Mr. Bloom to Powers International, only to find the man has resurrected former Task Force Z members to serve as his enforcers. With Two-Face leading the rest of the team through a hidden access route, the group is ambushed before they can reach their target—uncovering a deadly trap in the making.
In "Chapter 12," Red Hood, Two-Face, and Solomon Grundy converge on Bloom, Gotham, and Gotham Girl in a high-stakes showdown to halt Bloom’s dangerous scheme to exploit the Lazarus Resin. With the fate of Gotham hanging in the balance, old alliances fracture and new tensions rise as the line between hero and villain blurs.
