This reimagined Suicide Squad opens with them being sent out to deal with a plague centered in a football stadium. The members are Deadshot, Diablo, Harley Quinn, Savant, Spider, Voltac, and King Shark. After killing everyone in the stadium except a baby which is the package they are sent to get, they leave and await evac.
But instead of evac their implants inside their necks which can be triggered to explode at any time by Waller, the head of the Squad who works for the government, are recalibrated for another thirty-six hours so they can do another job. They are criminals and are working off their sentences by doing dangerous jobs no one else wants to do.
Added to the Squad are YoYo and Boomerang, who has been put in charge of the group and given a switch for everyone's implants. Boomerang and Deadshot have a bad history together and he can't believe that Waller put him in charge of this mission. But Deadshot got infected at the stadium and he's in no shape to lead. Hopefully, the baby will provide a cure.
Just what is Waller playing at here with putting Boomerang in charge and having them go out on another mission so soon? And when Harley finds out the Joker's dead there will be hell to pay. Deadshot just wants to keep going for his little girl and the visitation he gets and Diablo wants to make amends. The rest want to get out as soon as possible. The use of color is bold and slaps you in the face especially when it comes to Harley Quinn and Diablo's letterbox is black with red letters which fit him and is very cool, if at times hard to read. The plot is really quite great and sets up a very interesting series that I can't wait to continue.
