The attacks begin without warning. Brutal, suddencannibalistic. A metahuman with all the power of Superman but none of his humanity. An unstoppable being ruled only by hunger and instinct, striking at random across the world. To stop this threat, Harley Quinn, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, and King Shark have been assigned to corral, nursemaidand if necessary, executefive deadly new recruits: the expendable products of a secret government procedure called BLAZE.

Theyre ordinary prisoners, endowed with incredible powerand the certain knowledge that itll burn through them like wildfire. They have six months to live, maximum. If youre staring down life in prison, maybe thats a good dealespecially if youre Michael Van Zandt, desperate to reunite with the mad lover who forsook you after your Bonnie-and-Clyde crime spree.

But that power? Its surprisingly transferable. As each member of the Squad diesthe others get stronger. What would a hardened criminal do with that knowledge? Worse yet: What would a desperate, lovesick idiot do with it? One things certain: this time the Suicide Squads bitten off more than it can chew. Win or lose-they all burn.

Simon Spurrier and Aaron Campbell, the creative team behind the critically acclaimed John Constantine: Hellblazer, are turned loose on the one DC title even more horrific and blackhearted than that one. Brace yourselves!
