New Suicide Squad

When the team's mission goes sideways in Eastern Europe, the members of Task Force X find themselves stranded behind enemy lines—and without their usual bomb-collar oversight. This 2015–2016 DC series, written primarily by Sean Ryan and Rob Williams with gritty art from Philippe Briones, Philip Tan, and Rob Hunter, puts the Squad in a survival scenario where their only exit is through a hostile nation. It matters as a tight, four-issue arc that strips away the usual government control, forcing the villains to rely on each other—or die alone.
