Indexer Notes

Citing the fact that she was possessed when she picked Harley Quinn as Squad leader, Amanda Waller appoints Katana as the new leader of the Suicide Squad.

Rick Flag Sr. is the grandfather of Rick Flag, the late former leader of the current version of the Suicide Squad.

Argent is the name of a sister agency to the original Suicide Squad, which is part of Task Force X, and also the name Rick Flag Sr. and Karin Grace have given to an extra-terrestrial that is on their team.

The second story in this issue follows the team investigating the map coordinates found in the drone.
