I just found out that Suicide Squad, the version written by John Ostrander and art by Luke McDonnell and Karl Kesel, is coming out in May. I believe that it will be in the middle of the month.
I read almost the entire series that lasted 66 issues and it was great. The stories were usually continued into each other so to have them all in one is a good deal even if they are in black and white. The artwork for the paperback edition has not been released yet but I have given you a look at the cover of the first issue in the series.
For those of you who have never read or heard of the series here is the idea behind it. Some mission are too dangerous to risk the lives of good men. So they offer criminals a chance at freedom. They take on the mission and, if they live, they get to go free and they have to keep the squad secret from the public. They never did trust Captain Boomerang so they always tried to find ways to keep him in the squad. It was sort of like the Dirty Dozen meets Mission: Impossible. I highly recommend this book.
