Suicide Squad: The Rebirth Deluxe Edition #1

Harley Quinn takes a surprising turn in "Evil Anonymous," founding a support group for super-villains modeled after Alcoholics Anonymous, using her psychiatric training to help them confront their inner demons. With a mix of wit and genuine empathy, she tries to guide former foes toward redemption—though not everyone in the room is ready to change.

In "Rebirth," Waller maneuvers to keep the Suicide Squad alive by securing a new leader—Colonel Rick Flag, a man held captive at Guantanamo Bay for defying unjust orders. With the President’s reluctant approval, she recruits Flag to lead the team on their first mission: a high-stakes rescue in Mongolia to stop a rogue scientist’s meta-bomb from falling into the hands of a terrorist group.

In "The Black Vault Part One: I Wanna Be Sedated," the Suicide Squad is sent on a high-stakes mission to recover a mysterious cosmic artifact stolen by a rogue Russian faction and hidden in an undersea base. The operation begins in chaos when their transport crashes into the ocean, forcing the team to navigate treacherous waters and a hostile environment before they even reach their target.

In the icy aftermath of a crash-landing, the Suicide Squad races against time to reach a hidden Russian base, where a mysterious cosmic object pulses with otherworldly energy. Guided by the elusive meta-human Hack, they push deeper into the frozen stronghold—only to face a terrifying revelation when General Zod, seemingly born from the object’s depths, unleashes a deadly heat vision that consumes Captain Boomerang.

In "The Black Vault Part Three: Bad Brain," the Suicide Squad finds themselves trapped in a submerged Russian facility, fighting General Zod and his forces—only to face an even greater threat when the Annihilation Brigade, a rogue Russian counterpart to their own team, storms the base. With tensions rising and loyalties in question, the squad must survive not just the enemy outside, but the chaos within.

In the depths of an abandoned Russian submarine base, the Suicide Squad fights for survival against General Zod, a relentless army of Russian soldiers, and the brutal Annihilation Brigade—trapped with no way out and every second bringing them closer to disaster.

In "Going Sane Part One: Shock Treatment," the Suicide Squad returns to Belle Reve with the mysterious Black Vault sphere holding General Zod, setting off a tense race to unlock its secrets. Waller pushes her scientists to harness Zod’s power, but Flag remains skeptical, while new recruit Hack becomes a key player in a dangerous game of data and deception.

In "Going Sane Part Two: Teenage Lobotomy," Harley finds herself strangely lucid as chaos erupts at Belle Reve—her fellow inmates consumed by a sudden bloodlust, driven to violence by an unknown force. While the world around her descends into madness, Harley must confront her own fractured mind as she tries to stop the slaughter, even as sanity feels like the most dangerous thing she's ever known.

In "Going Sane Part Four: I Believe in Miracles," Harley Quinn races against a tide of rage to save her teammates from General Zod’s mind control, guided by the shocking return of Captain Boomerang—revived from a digital echo of Digger stored in Hack’s mind. With the past and present colliding in unexpected ways, Harley must trust the impossible to find a way forward.

In "Boomerang Agent of Oz," Captain Boomerang spins a tale of his time in the Australian Secret Service for Amanda Waller, painting a picture of a past both shadowy and serviceable—though Waller remains unconvinced. The story unfolds as a tense, character-driven flashback, letting Jo’s sharp wit and ambiguous loyalty take center stage.

In "Choose," Katana confronts the weight of her past as Amanda Waller reviews the tragedy that defined her—her husband Maseo and their children slain by Maseo’s brother Takeo using the Soultaker sword. The story delves into the moment she reclaimed justice, wielding the very blade that took her family.

In "Prisons," Waller questions Hack about her past, uncovering the painful roots of her transformation: a childhood in a struggling African neighborhood, the tragic death of her brother in a gang-related incident, and the moment her power to turn people into pure data ignited a desire for revenge—inspired by Harley Quinn’s defiance.

In "Crocodile Tears," a haunting flashback reveals the traumatic origins of Waylon Jones, the man who would become Croc. As Amanda Waller reviews his past, we see young Waylon—bullied for his appearance—find unexpected friendship in a girl named Emma. When a classmate vanishes, the two uncover a deadly truth: the boy was taken by a crocodile, and the creature turns on them. The story lingers on the moment of tragedy, where innocence, fear, and a desperate act of protection collide.

In "Justice League vs. Suicide Squad Prelude: Warm Heart," Killer Frost arrives at Belle Reve, her icy past briefly recalled as Colonel Flag formally introduces her to the Suicide Squad. The story sets the stage for a tense, uneasy alliance, grounding the team’s dynamics in a moment of cold confrontation and cautious first impressions.
