This storyline, which ran from "Suicide Squad" #40-43 (by John Ostrander, Kim Yale, Geoff Isherwood and Mark Badger), was an attempt to revamp the Squad to better fit into the 1990s. After being disbanded for a year (a year Amanda Waller spent in prison), a situation arose that led to the United States government (working, oddly enough, with Batman...
The final "Suicide Squad" storyline ran from "Suicide Squad" #63-66 (by John Ostrander, Kim Yale, Geoff Isherwood and Robert Campanella), and it did an impressive job in wrapping up the entire series with a genuine sense of closure, while still leaving the characters and concept for future stories.

In an earlier mission, Suicide Squad member Tom Tresser, the master of disguise known as Nemesis, heroically stayed behind on a mission in Russia....
Beyond of the introduction of Amanda Waller and the solidification of Deadshot as one of the more popular DC villains, the greatest legacy of the "Suicide Squad" was the way Ostrander and Yale, in effect, "saved" Barbara Gordonafter the events of "The Killing Joke."
