DC Comics Suicide Squad

1st Appearance - The Brave and the Bold #3
2nd Incarnation - Legends #3 / The New 52- Issue 1

Suicide Squad (aka Task Force X) created by Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru first hit the pages of DC Comics back in The Brave and the Bold #25 in 1959 and then recreated by John Ostrander in Legends #3 back in 1997. The roster is ever changing as villains are caught, escape, or in some cases - expire. The premise however, always remained the same - covert operatives of a villainous nature being forced to do the ‘questionable’ for the United States government, most times with the themes reflecting the signs of the times.

Suicide Squad starts today as part of DC’s extended universe so grab your squad and keep cool in your local theater!
