Suicide Squad Black Files

In 2019, DC unleashed Suicide Squad Black Files, a six-issue miniseries that expanded the dark corners of its clandestine super-villain task force. Written by Mike W. Barr and illustrated by Philippe Briones and Neil Edwards, the series sent Task Force X on covert missions too sensitive even for the regular Squad, introducing new operatives and threats. It matters as a taut, espionage-tinged addition to the Suicide Squad mythos, digging deeper into the black-ops side of the DC Universe.
