DC has released an official preview for Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum #1 — the first in a five-issue limited series that serves as a prequel to the upcoming video game Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum debuts on February 6, 2024 (four days after after the worldwide launch of Kill the Justice League). The Arkhamverse-set comic book comes from writer John Layman and artist Jesús Hervás. In it, Amanda Waller — who is now in control of the rebuilt Arkham Asylum — recruits a new Task Force X to take on the Brainiac-controlled Justice League. The debut issue features a cover by Dan Panosian. At this time, DC has also revealed a number of fully-lettered preview pages.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League brings players back to the Arkhamverse
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League releases for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S on February 2, 2024. The “genre-defying” third-person shooter hails from Rocksteady Studios, the developer behind Warner Bros. Games‘ Batman: Arkham trilogy of action-adventure titles.
Set within the same continuity as the Arkham games, Kill the Justice League allows players to take control of Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, and/or King Shark. With the villainous Brainiac having corrupted the members of the Justice League — including Superman — it’s up to the Suicide Squad members to save the day (or explode trying).
Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum #1 goes on sale February 6, 2024 from DC.
