Suicide Squad: Blaze

A group of powerful prisoners, known as the Suicide Squad, is tasked with stopping a metahuman with all the power of Superman but none of his humanity. The metahuman is an unstoppable being ruled only by hunger and instinct, striking at random across the world. To stop him, Harley Quinn, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, and King Shark have been assigned to corral, nursemaid, and if necessary, execute five deadly new recruits: the expendable products of a secret government procedure called BLAZE. The Squad has six months to live, maximum, and the power is surprisingly transferable, as each member of the Squad dies, the others get stronger.

The attacks commence abruptly, exhibiting a brutal and sudden nature, characterized by cannibalistic tendencies. This metahuman possesses all the incredible powers of Superman, yet lacks any trace of humanity. An unstoppable force, driven solely by hunger and instinct, it strikes randomly across the globe, posing a significant threat. To confront this menacing adversary, Harley Quinn, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, and King Shark have been tasked with corralling, nurturing, and, if necessary, executing five deadly new recruits: the expendable products of a secret government procedure known as BLAZE. These individuals are ordinary prisoners, endowed with extraordinary powers, yet they are also aware that these powers will rapidly consume them, akin to a wildfire. They have a mere six months to live, at most. For those facing a life sentence in prison, this may seem like a favorable arrangement, particularly if they are Michael Van Zandt, driven by an intense desire to reunite with the mad lover who abandoned him following their notorious Bonnie-and-Clyde crime spree. However, the power bestowed upon them is remarkably transferable, and as each member of the Squad succumbs to their fate, the remaining members become stronger. Whatathomaginous actions would a hardened criminal contemplate, given this newfound knowledge? Even more concerning, what despicable deeds would a desperate, lovesick fool undertake with such power? One thing is certain: this time, the Suicide Squad has embarked on a mission that surpasses its capabilities. Regardless of the outcome, whether they emerge victorious or face defeat, they will all perish, consumed by the flames of their actions. Simon Spurrier and Aaron Campbell, the creative duo responsible for the critically acclaimed John Constantine: Hellblazer, unleash their dark and twisted imagination upon the one DC title that surpasses even that in terms of horror and darkness. Prepare yourselves for a journey into the depths of depravity! This collection encompasses Suicide Squad Blaze #1-3, offering readers a glimpse into the uncharted territories of the DC Universe.
