Ahead of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League video game, we get Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum, and the story behind the recruitment of the team you’ll be seeing, and playing, in the forthcoming Warner Bros. Games, Rocksteady Studios, and DC. This fuve-issue series is written by John Layman (Batman Eternal, Detective Comics, Image Comics’ Chew) with art by Jesús Hervás (Are You Afraid of Darkseid?), with a main cover by Dan Panosian as well as an open-to-buy variant cover by Ariel Olivetti, a 1:25 ratio variant cover by Kyle Hotz, a 1:50 ratio variant cover by Steve Beach, and a 1:100 ratio variant cover by David Nakayama.
Right, with all that out of the way, here’s the synopsis and a first look:
“In this five-issue limited series, Amanda Waller has taken control of the recently rebuilt Arkham Asylum, and her brutal tactics and merciless methods have led to the most secure facility Gotham City has ever seen. But remember that this is Amanda Waller, and she’s always got an angle. Arkham is part of her latest “recruitment drive,” and she’s looking for the strongest, smartest, and most brutal inmates in the asylum to serve her as new members of Task Force X.”
Each print issue of Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum will come with a digital code for a free in-game cosmetic item. And, of you’re an Annual and Ultra paying subscribers to the DC UNIVERSE INFINITE digital subscription platform you will also receive the code with each issue too.
Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum #1 (of 5) arrives in comic book shops and participating digital platforms Tuesday, May 30th from DC Comics. And the game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is available worldwide for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on May 26th.
