OK,m #TheSuicideSquad is coming this week, so lets see some reading recommendations before the movie, lets follow it:

Lets start with some classic Ostrander stuff: Juttunheim was introduced in the two-parter arc 'Trial by Blood/Trial by Fire', what also officially reintroduces the modern interaction of team. Essential Squad reading. #TheSuicideSquad

'The Janus Directive': mKobra criminal organization plots to destroy to the world, but not without putting the main governament security agencies of the DC Universe against each other, including Argus, Checkmate and Project Peacemaker. #TheSuicideSquad

Doom Patrol and Suicide Squad Special- Red Pawn: the story what ends to be adapt as the main spine-structure of #TheSuicideSquad movie, Task Force X and Doom Patrol met each other in Nicaragua, while a Cold War crisis explodes in the country. Expect also a high body count.

Want more of #TheSuicideSquad doing messy stuff in South America? 'The New Suicide Squad' #13-14 two-parter 'Freedom', show the team left for dead in Rio de Janeiro, but a series of events involving The Question gave the team a golden opportunity to, at last, kill Amanda Waller.

Wanna know the basics of Peacemaker? Read his 80's mini-series by Paul Kupperberg and Tod Smith, while he deliver's good ol' american violent justice to stop Dr Tzin-Tzin to take over Europe. #TheSuicideSquad

Besides #TheSuicideSquad is reshaping Bloodsport to be a lite-Deadshot, the original Bloodsport was a broken soldier what was given opportunity by Lex Luthor to engage a war against Superman, putting him on ICU 'Superman' #4 (1987)

Starro appear in a lot of histories along the DC Comics, but to know the basics about the character and how deadly he can be, stick with the classics: Justice League of America #189-190 two-parter 'Return of the Starfish Conqueror!/Our Friends, Our Enemies'. #TheSuicideSquad

And we finish from here! #TheSuicideSquad arrives this weekend on theaters and HBO MAX.
