Soon as they arrived to do the job, they realized that they are being set up and caught by an unknown group of captors. Without revealing their true identity, their newest captors brutally tortured them to break for information. All of the members either were drooling to the pain or lost in thoughts of their life before Suicide Squad until Savant decides to spill whatever he knew about. In return, he is killed almost instantly and the rest of the group is released informing that they passed the initiation test.

Now qualified for the ranks of the team, the squad members are sent to Mississippi to wipe out sixty thousand people inside the Megadome stadium after retrieving a package from a woman named Caley Burns. When the reaches to their destination they face an army of ravaging civilians infected by some virus as well as Caley herself and if the situation at hand can be taken care of, facing the bounty hunter called Mad Dog and a massive prison break at Belle Reve is what they have to deal with up next.

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.

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.

Among them only seven have survived from the immense tortures and training as part of the initiation program. The surviving members are Harley Quinn, Deadshot, El Diablo, King Shark, Black Spider, Voltaic and Savant. When thought of going on their first field mission they are tested again to ensure their loyalty and only one of them broke during this process.

All of the members of Suicide Squad are planted with micro-bomb implants to guarantee their obedience for the cause and Amanda Waller is in full-charge to command the team. With Deadshot as the primary leader of the band, the team is sent out for their first mission to get a package from the middle of a stadium filled with infectious crazed crowd.

One of them is killed to cover their tracks and two new members; Captain Boomerang and Yo-Yo join the group. They fights a secret terrorist organization called Basilisk and afterwards, Harley Quinn manages an escape, leaving a massive prison-break on her way. When the Crime Syndicate (during Forever Evil) took over Belle Reve, Waller assembles a New Squad to take control over the escalated situation.
