Preview: Justice League vs. Suicide Squad #1

Check out a massive 14-page preview of Justice League vs. Suicide Squad #1!

This Wednesday, the first major event of DC Rebirth, Justice League vs. Suicide Squad begins. It seems like Batman has decided that letting a bunch of super criminals carry out covert ops isn’t the best idea. He wants Task Force X shut down, and is assembling the rest of the Justice League, letting them know just what the Suicide Squad is, and bringing them in to put a stop to Amanda Waller’s program.

But as always, there’s another element at play in Justice League, and that’s Maxwell Lord and his own group of super villains with their own mysterious motives. Check out a synopsis and preview gallery of Justice League vs. Suicide Squad below:
