(DC Comics, creative team: Tom Taylor, Bruno Redondo, Adriano Lucas, Wes Abbott)

When the idea of "triple crosses" seem quaint and uncomplicated, you know you're in for a book with something special going on. A deception has been perpetrated against Lok, the angry new handler of Task Force X, and the legacy members (King Shark, Deadshot and Harley Quinn) are trying to catch up as Osita, Fin, Deadly Six, Wink, Thylacine, The Aerie, Jog and Chaos Kitten mostly get chances to distinguish themselves beyond rudimentary displays of power. The artwork from Redondo, Lucas and Abbott is dramatically engaging, with facial expressions and line work and clever bits of visual storytelling in motion that captivate at every turn. Tom Taylor's script is a king in its own right, with distinctive voices for each character and actions that fit the readers understanding of their motivations. This issue is very enjoyable and shows this series has a plan and has come to win. RATING: BUY
