The latest Suicide Squad relaunch was promised to be a truly bloody, and completely unpredictable affair. While fans will have to decide for themselves if the list of casualties qualifies as “absolute carnage” in Suicide Squad #1, the danger is clear. And in just the second issue, it appears one classic Squad member may come closer to death than he expects. Eliminating all trust with the team’s new recruits in the process.

Since readers might assume that a new Suicide Squad series can only change so much, the Injustice team of Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo have taken that presumed status quo as a challenge. Proudly proclaiming that the new series will make good on its name – and genuinely leave fans uncertain whether any hero will survive the mission – fans probably still assumed that some would be off the table. But that might be vital information to pass along to Deadshot, as he goes down in a fiery crash in DC’s official preview of Suicide Squad #2.

After the first issue forced the Suicide Squad to accept new members of the freedom fighter Revolutionaries, the door was left open for some form of camaraderie to be formed. While the aquatic members may be forging a bond, the same can’t be said for the team members traveling by helicopter, who quickly decide which of their team is worth saving. Take a look below:

The first issue proved to be a bloodbath, which means the same can be expected of Issue #2. Whether or not Deadshot is included in the casualties is an unknown for now (the obvious money is on him narrowly escaping the crash by his own means). But judging by the Revolutionaries’ lack of hesitation in leaving their teammate to die, there will be a price to pay.

  • SUICIDE SQUAD #2 Writer: Tom Taylor Art by: Bruno Redondo Colors by: Adriano Lucas Lettering by: Wes Abbott Cover by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado After the absolute carnage of Suicide Squad #1, a new Task Force X has been assembled-even before the bodies of teammates and friends have had a chance to cool! What’s left standing may be the most capable and uncompromising Suicide Squad ever brought together. But it’s also the most divided. Forced to fulfill the agenda of a cruel new taskmaster, this Squad might survive their next mission, but they may not survive each other.
