    Default Recommendations for Suicide Squad stories?

    I really love Suicide Squad but haven't read anything. Do you have any recommendations?

    Start with John Ostrander & Luke McConnell's run. It's fantastic.

    Perfect advice, I think.

    One of the great DC runs.

    It’s available in trades (and the trades are available digitally at a really good discounted price on Comixology).

    I’d suggest this is best way to read this particular series, because the trades include the Checkmate, Captain Atom and Manhunter material that form part of The Janus Directive. (A major turning point in series, and one of the few worthwhile DC cross series tie-ins.)

    DC Moderne age started in 1986 with "Crisis on Infinit Earths".
    After that DC published an Event to present the new modern age Justice League and the Suicid Squad. This story is called "Legends".
    * Legends 30th Anniversary Edition by John Ostrander

    Then followed to that event a title called "Suicid Squad by John Ostrander".
    This title is availlable in 8 tpb:
    * Suicide Squad: Trial By Fire (#1-8)
    * Suicide Squad: The Nightshade Odyssey (#9-16)
    * Suicide Squad: Rogues (#17-25)
    * Suicide Squad: The Janus Directive (#26-30)
    * Suicide Squad: Apokolips Now (#31-39)
    * Suicide Squad: The Phoenix Gambit (#40-49)
    * Suicide Squad: The Dragon's Hoard (#50-58)

    While it's obvious, this run is "Go To".

    It's the "Classic Coke" of Suicide Squad runs.
