Stories

  • Heavy Squad · 22 pages

    Checkmate, the CBI and Project Atom all attack the Suicide Squad headquarters in order to get to Waller. Once a hasty truce has been called between all teams, Waller explains that she was pretending to be a Kobra doppelganger so they wouldn't catch on to the fact that she was still herself and she could learn what she needed to know about their master plan. Waller begins to explain the true repercussions of Kobra's Janus Directive.
