All the things you loved about the film version of the Squad?
Yeah, that was Ostrander.
Newer fans should note that Harley Quinn doesnotappear in these stories, mainly because she wasnt created yet.
But Harleys absence does not impact these note perfect Squad stories.

Harley Quinn Vol.
So if you love the more gothic, video game-centric Harley, this is the book for you.
You dont know the half of it until you readDeadshot: Beginnings.
This book is shockingly brutal and deals with Deadshot discovering he has a son.
The sons fate would be unimaginably vicious by todays standards.
Believe me; a great deal ofBeginningsinformed the Deadshot featured in the film.
In this tale, Lawton discovers he has a daughter living in a hardcore slum.
Truly,Bulletproofis essential Deadshot reading for those who met the character for the first time in theSuicide Squadmovie.

Killer Croc is one of those odd duck villains that always kind of appears in one off stories.
I mean, can you really think of a solid, long form Killer Croc story arc?
It always is just Batman going into the sewers and having a really violent brawl with the man crocodile.
Check it out for something completely different.
As you know, Katana is an honorable (albeit violent) hero who wields a soul sucking sword.
This series was always a great deal of fun and Katana and her blade were usually center stage.
This Boomerang tossing Aussie is like the DCUs own version of Quagmire (giggity).
Well, since I have major comic nerd OCD, the answer to that question is yes.
Sadly for me, there are no Slipknot collections because Slipknot sucks.
I mean, he makes nooses and does rope tricks.
And then he goes out and fights Firestorm.
Yeah freakin Firestorm- a guy that shoots nuclear energy and can reconfigure elements.
Yeah Slipknot, good luck with that, pal.
Thats KNOT going to happen.
