They’re expendable, deniable, and deadly. When covert missions demand results without accountability, Amanda Waller sends in Task Force X—the Suicide Squad. In this explosive collection, the Squad faces betrayal, black ops, and a descent into the supernatural as Nightshade’s past comes back to haunt them.
DC Finest: Suicide Squad – The Nightshade Odyssey collects Suicide Squad #11–20, Suicide Squad Annual #1, The Doom Patrol and Suicide Squad Special #1, The Flash #12, Manhunter #1 and #6, Justice League International #13, Deadshot #1–4, Checkmate #1 (1997), and Checkmate #8 (1988). This volume dives deep into the morally gray world of Task Force X, where villains are forced to serve the greater good—or die trying. As the Squad battles drug cartels, Russian prisons, and supernatural threats, Nightshade’s personal demons threaten to unravel the team from within.
