New Suicide Squad Vol. 1: Pure Insanity (The New 52)

Setting the world’s most dangerous super-criminals against the most insidious threats to national security: that’s the idea behind the elite black-ops unit officially designated as Task Force X. It’s perfect . . . on paper.

But the real world rarely goes according to plan. Threats evolve. Teammates turn on each other. Blood and betrayals flow like rivers. And that’s why Task Force X is better known as the Suicide Squad.

Vic Sage aims to change the equation. Replacing Amanda Waller as the puppet-master of Suicide Squad’s motley crew, he’s introducing wild cards like Deathstroke and the Joker’s Daughter to whip the existing team - Deadshot, Harley Quinn, and Black Manta - into shape. But the world’s deadliest assassin and the Clown Princess of Crime have ideas of their own . . . and no explosive implants to keep them in line.

Can this new Suicide Squad survive - or will it implode before it even begins?
