Amanda "the Wall" Waller has fought tooth and nail to keep her Suicide Squad of metahuman black ops agents in operation. Together with Checkmate, a covert government spy agency, these two teams make up Waller's Task Force X, taking on the missions that the United States government deems too dangerous for anyone else. But the members of Task Force X aren't the only ones doing the government's dirty work...
When Waller uncovers a conspiracy code named the "Janus Directive," it becomes clear that another government agency intends to wipe out Task Force X, and body count is not a consideration.
Is this the beginning of an all-out secret war between the country's most dangerous operatives, or is someone else pulling the strings to further their own endgame? And if that's the case, has someone finally done the impossible and outsmarted the Wall?
From an array of classic comics creators including John Ostrander, Paul Kupperberg, Kim Yale, John K. Snyder III, Steve Erwin, and many more, SUICIDE SQUAD: THE JANUS DIRECTIVE presents the classic crossover event in its entirety for the first time! Collects SUICIDE SQUAD (1987-1992) #26-30, CHECKMATE #15-18, MANHUNTER #14, FIRESTORM #86 and CAPTAIN ATOM #30.

The Squad will go on...
Or will it? Forget the terrorists occupying American soil, the guerrilla factions killing each other off, or the aliens invading Earth. It's the war at home that may spell the end of Director Amanda Waller and Task Force X.
Waller's "Suicide Squad" of incarcerated super-villains and troubled agents has worked effectively under the radar - until now. No one, not even her staff in the Belle Reve metahuman prison facility, trusts "The Wall." Plus, rising tensions among ever-changing Squad members mean that they've become a bigger threat to each other than to their opponents.
And when government officials with presidential aspirations discover the existence of Task Force X, Waller is forced to do whatever it takes to keep her team from being exposed to the world - even if it means crossing the thin moral line that separates her from the disposable villains recruited for her impossible assignments.
