Suicide Squad: The New 52 is built on a simple ugly promise: do the mission or die trying. Amanda Waller turns damaged villains into disposable weapons, and the team survives through violence, betrayal, blackmail and bad chemistry. This omnibus is for readers who want DC black-ops energy with teeth, not clean redemption.

Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning built the modern Guardians of the Galaxy from scratch in 2008, assembling a team from the wreckage of the Annihilation and Annihilation: Conquest cosmic events. The DnA Guardians — Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Gamora, Drax — were a deliberately makeshift team held together by necessity rather than destiny. This run is the direct creative source for the James Gunn films. Collects Guardians of the Galaxy #1–25, the complete DnA run, plus key tie-in issues.
