monition : contains spoilers forSuicide team : King Shark # 1 !
King Shark , a breakout asterisk of 2021’sThe Suicide Squad , may not be long for this humanity . A C - tilt lineament for over 20 years , the DC villain is more democratic now than ever - but , apparently , that wo n’t stop DC Comics from killing him . InSuicide Squad : King Shark # 1,written by Tim Seeley with art by Scott Kolins and color by John Kalisz , King Shark takes a prima donna , potentially for the last metre .
Defacer , a small - metre baddie who specializes in tagging artistic creation sculptures and sign , has set ashore herself in Belle Reve Prison in Louisiana for tag a statue of her X - boyfriend Nightwing . In a supervillain support group led by Harley Quinn , Defacer exchanges insult with Hot Take , a villain with fire - free-base great power and a torrid temper to match . Hot Take blast Defacer in the can but issaved by King Shark , whoeatsHot Takewith the nonchalant excuse,“I miss lunch . “Amanda Waller promptly sends Defacer on a mission with King Shark - she ca n’t implant a bomb in King Shark ’s head , but since King Shark appears to like Defacer , Amanda plants a turkey inherhead instead as an " incentive " for Nanaue to return .

Waller ’s preexisting wad with Nanaue ’s father allows her to delay King Shark , provided she releases him occasionally for visit to his homeland . Defaceraccompanies Nanaue on one of these visit , where the two meet King Shark ’s father , Lord Chondrakha . “There must be a test to ensure my kingdom is properly represent … in the wild games,“Lord Chondrakha say ominously . As Defacer take down that the other shark that accompanied King Shark ’s father are slow swimming away , a challenger rise up up from the profundity : Grace Balin , otherwise known as the Orca . The issue end just before the fight can begin .
Orcinus orca is a unnerving opponent , but King Shark is still strong enough to take her on . unluckily , this story is aprequelto current strip continuity . In 2021’sSwamp Thing # 4,Amanda Waller tolerate behind a bank of computing machine reminder showing the state of several Suicide Squad members , and King Shark is listed as " deceased " ( along with Deadshot ) . There is a chance , however unlikely , that Waller ’s data processor could simply be amiss - after all , she cite that King Shark ’s unique physiology makesimplanting a turkey in his neck impossible- but signs , regrettably , level to King Shark ’s death at the helping hand of Orca , or whatever creature that comes after her .
Marvel and DC killing their characters as presently as they become popular through movie is nothing novel . The Scarlet Witch ’s slaying occurred shortly after the debut ofWandavision , andThe Death of Doctor Strangeis coif to make it this September ( a few months before the sequel to the film of his own name in 2022 ) . Still , it can be jar for new reader , especially buff ofThe Suicide Squad , to see the adorably lethalKing Sharkmeet his terminal .
