American Comics Update: Suicide Squad (1987)
*DC: In 1987, spinning out from the ‘Legends’ event, DC repurposed the name Suicide Squad (first used in the Silver Age), this time in the form of a gang of (mostly) super-villains on suicide missions for a quasi-governmental agency led by Amanda Waller. Writer John Ostrander made this concept into a quality series which has always remained popular, for all that Suicide Squad has been used since in the DC cinematic universe in movies that got, shall we say, mixed reviews. Just a handful of issues fresh in to top up our stock.
