Harley & Co.s big adventure!
Before the team was getting along till Harley lost her marbles, and planted Joker's mug on Deadshot. (who's been affected by the Joker Curse). It sounds weird, but it does have effects throughout this series. Not only does every choice have consequences, but the two end up working side by side (even against their team!) Things get even more messy when opponents wind up dead before they even declare victory. And Waller's "eyes" may also be deceiving her in the long run.


Regulus and other bad dudes
Turns out some baddies from the past have re-emerged on different sides. Deadshot's former identity was one of those that barely survived his last mission before his side by side team up with Harley and friends. Oddly enough he never got along with anyone before. Catching up with others, now on crosshairs creating alliances to take down Waller's armada of "peacekeepers". The biggest shift in gears is not knowing what side anyone is on, in volume I it was revealed that anyone could be "a mole".

Waller's true agenda
Playing out similarly like a Detective Comics tale, every page unfolds a clue towards where the true "villains" might be. But with everyone at one another's throats, some take the mantle in becoming leaders in the worst circumstances. Who lives, and who dies doesn't depend on guts or glory anymore, its built on trust whether they are the watcher, or the doer.
