About the series
Keith Giffen brought his signature blend of dark humor and dysfunctional team dynamics to this 2001–2002 DC series, which ran for 12 issues. With art by Paco Medina, John Severin, and Russ Heath, the book reimagined the government's expendable villains as a covert strike force, balancing explosive action with sardonic character moments. It stands as a sharp, underrated take on the Suicide Squad concept, leaning into the absurdity of forcing criminals to save the world.
