You'd also asked for a recommendation: I'd suggest simply starting at issue 1. I thought a cross over called The Janus Directive was really well done, but it requires you to read Checkmate! and Firestorm to follow what is happening. The very dramatic issue with Rick Flagg disposing of an old nuclear weapon in Qurac will probably appeal to you, Dave, because it has a flashback to the original WW2 Suicide Squad. I've read this issue many times. Its got an extremely unexpected twist in it.

There is some lighthearted entertainment in it: for about 6 months or so, someone is throwing cream pies at characters, and we don't know who. Lois Lane, Amanda Waller, Captain Boomerang, and others all get a cream pie in the face. Lois Lane's is probably the funniest.

Getting back to WTFs..... Giffen's JLI/JLE had a number. Kooey Kooey Kooey, the JL Antarctica and the killer penguins, G'nort.....

Pimping my site, again.
