ÒTHE THREE WAVES OF DOOM!Ó Featuring the first appearance of the Suicide Squad! When a mysterious wave emitting an ungodly amount of heat heads toward shore, the military is all out of options, so they decide to bring in a new team to handle the situation: the Suicide Squad!

The classic story that inspired the feature film! Offered again with a new cover! Faced with a rising tide of meta-human crime and terror, Amanda Waller, the hard-headed director of a secret government program designed to neutralize super-powered threats called Task Force X sold the President on her vision: a covert action team composed of incarcerated super-villains who earned time off their sentences for every mission they completed. Deniable, disposable, and deployable to any spot on Earth, this Suicide Squad would be the perfect weapon of last resort-as long as they could be kept under control. Crafted by acclaimed creators John Ostrander and Luke McDonnell, this volume collects the first eight issues of the team’s legendary 1980s title as well as their updated history from Secret Origins #14.

Amanda Waller contracts out the Suicide Squad to the Japanese government for what should be a simple mission—track down a hoard of stolen Soviet weapons and destroy them before they’re sold to the Yakuza. But nothing is simple for the Squad. Racing to find the weapons before the Soviets and Yakuza, “The Wall” brings on two high-liability, yet essential, members to get the job done: the invulnerable Steelwolf and unhinged new Thinker. With the Soviets and Japanese closing in and the new additions’ interference, the Squad find themselves in more trouble than ever before!
