    The fate of all existence comes down to a fistfight. The credits DO say STEVE ORLANDO after all. This is a blockbuster! Every hero left on the last Earth left in the last reality left turns out against the Extinction Society. It’s a final race to stave off the very destruction we’ve brought on ourselves. Can we be good enough, long enough? We better hope so, because the fate of our Earth might’ve once rested in the hands of the Crisis Command, but they just put it in ours.

    SUICIDE SQUAD: TRIAL BY FIRE
    Writer: John Ostrander
    Artist: Luke McDonnell
    Publisher: DC Comics
    Release Date: July 27, 2021
    In the late 1980s, a secret government program designed to neutralize super-powered threats to national security was reactivated.

    Task Force X had gone through many transformations since it was first created during World War II, but one thing had never changed: its members called themselves the Suicide Squad, and they lived up to their name.

    Faced with a rising tide of metahuman crime and terror, the program’s hard-headed director Amanda Waller sold the President on her vision of an updated Task Force X: 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 new Suicide Squad would be the perfect weapon of last resort — as long as they could be kept under control.
