Suicide Squad: Raise the Flag

In this 2007–2008 DC miniseries, writer John Ostrander returns to the black-ops team he helped define, dispatching a new Suicide Squad on a covert mission that pits them against a rogue U.S. general. With Javier Pina and Robin Riggs on art, the eight-issue run leans into Ostrander’s signature blend of political intrigue and dark humor, forcing expendable villains and antiheroes into a desperate gambit for redemption—or survival. It’s a tight, character-driven thriller that reminds readers why Ostrander’s take on Task Force X remains a fan favorite.
