"Year One" of the series is written by Tom Taylor (Star Wars – Blood TiesStar Wars – Darth Maul – Son of Dathomir) and drawn by artists Bruno Redondo, Jheremy Raapack (Batman – Arkham Unhinged, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe – Origins of Eternia), Mike S. Miller, Tom Derenick and many more, which starts as a prequel that ends up focusing on the events of the game. Since the story is set in an alternate reality, many of our regular continuity doesn't fit here and the plot is continued in "Year Two".

There she saw many patients who are criminally insane and among them she found The Joker to be the most mistreated one. So she goes undercover as a patient there but the clown eventually caught her disguise and her confidence on face of his madness impressed him. Even though her supervisor, Dr. Sterano, discovered their secret affair, she was taken to Ace Chemical Processing Plant by Joker and hurled into the chemical vats.

Joker fished her out from the bottom of vat but she was drastically changed by then both physically and mentally, and the maniac dubbed her Harley Quinn. They became lovers and after a while Joker left her as he got bored. She then made a uniform for herself. Black Canary stopped her from an unchecked homicidal binge and she is taken to Belle Reve Penitentiary.

Amanda Waller then recruited her to her secret command unit called Task Force X, AKA Suicide Squad. After their first mission (Kicked in the Teeth), she managed to escape the prison while creating a prison riot. She was later kidnapped and tortured by The Joker when the maniac was up against the entire Bat-Family as a part of his ploy against his arc-nemesis; The Dark Knight (Death of the Family).

Soon as they arrived to do the job, they realized that they are being set up and caught by an unknown group of captors.

Suicide Squad Vol 01 – Kicked in the Teeth (Softcover)

Collecting the first seven issues of the fourth volume of Suicide Squad, which also is the first monthly ongoing series in The New 52 timeline, "Kicked in the Teeth" is the first story arc. The story takes the team in not one but three separate missions on their joining of the group, marking it to be the origin for the characters of the Squad.

The Runaway Quinn

As the story progressed, writer Adam Glass (Deadpool, Flashpoint – Legion of Doom) and artist Federico Dallocchio were the man forming the creative team with Ryan Benjamin serving as the cover artist. The story is quick paced and definitely not for kids but Glass deserves some credit for his part except for artist Dallocchio. The art he provides is way horrible compared to other graphic novels DC is publishing.
