It would have been two years, not four, since Dove was killed.

This particular Suicide Squad line-up was picked because they were all Crisis orphans and had no anchor in the then-current continuity, no non-confusingstatus quo, or even arch-enemies. Psi is the best example, being a Supergirl rogue.

Is there a #1 in the indicia? Isn’t this still during the time where “SPECIAL” was a number?

I enjoyed this comic.
I was like 12 years old and my Mom gave me $20.00 and I bought this and read it. I liked Celsius and started reading more on this enigmatic character from India.
She punches Col Flag in the face- wow!
Also he reads her mind with the Thinker helmet and all that nonsense about
her not being Niles Caulders husband isnt ‘telepathically read by Col Flag- who new EXACTLY who Mrs Caulder is….

I enjoyed it!

I loved the John Ostrander-written Suicide Squad, but this issue was the absolute nadir of the series. Even the confusing crossover with Checkmate wasn’t as tough to slog through as the Doom Patrol team-up.

I would love to read a comics magazine (a la Comic Book artist) to do a late 80s/ early 90s DC retrospective, focusing on Ostrander’s Spectre, Hawkworld, & Suicide Squad. Those were stellar comics.
