"Drafted on a mission deemed too deadly for the Justice League, this team of super-villains [is] dispatched on ultra-violent missions with an ultra-slim chance of survival. They complete the mission; they are one step closer to freedom. They are the Suicide Squad. Harley Quinn. Deadshot. King Shark. They’re some of the most notorious super-criminals in the DC Universe. As part of DC’s ’The New 52’ relaunch, this premiere team of super-villains will be showing off their skills to a whole new generation of fans starting at issue #1. Sent on harrowing missions through some of the most dangerous places on earth, who will earn their freedom and who will die trying?"--Provided by publisher.
