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? Find out in NEW SUICIDE SQUAD: PURE INSANITY, the first action-packed chapter of an all new Suicide Squad saga by writer Sean Ryan (BATMAN, SUICIDE SQUAD) and an elite squad of artists! Collects issues #1-8.
