"Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League" is notorious for its massive delay, but DC has something in store for gamers and fans of this arc, as there is a limited-series comic that will serve as the prequel to the game. It will feature the famed characters from the series, including Amanda Waller, and her quest to recruit strong and brutal members to Task Force X.

This new prequel comic is called the "Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum," and as the title suggests, it seems that this new squad will go in an all-for-one battle royale to join the ranks.
