Warning! Spoilers ahead for Suicide Squad #7
Deadshot has been a part of the government's Task Force X, The Suicide Squad, for years. With a bomb planted in his head and very little options to do otherwise, Floyd Lawton ran and led ops for the program's director Amanda Waller, paying his debt to society for being a contract killer and one of the DC Universe's most accurate marksmen.
While the roster of his team would often shift, Harley Quinn and Captain Boomerang were two of the more consistent members. Now, after a change of leadership for the program, and a new group known as the Revolutionaries added to the roster, Deadshot determines to to leave the team behind, but to do that he'll have to kill the Suicide Squad first.
The latest run on The Suicide Squad has been going for seven issues now, written by Tom Taylor with artwork by Bruno Redondo. Thanks to a hostile takeover, Amanda Waller is no longer running Task Force X. Instead, a ruthless man named Lok is running the show, under orders by none other than Ted Kord. The recently captured group known as the Revolutionaries are a part of the team as well, and they're not happy about it, creating plans to escape Task Force X, while roping longstanding members Deadshot and Harley into the mix too. During a mission where they were ordered to bring in Captain Boomerang, the Revolutionaries made their move. Jog, their speedster, was able to grab and destroy all of the detonators to their implants (except for his own). This gave the rest of the team the opportunity to escape the facility, heading for Gotham City and getting their bombs removed courtesy of an illegal organ-harvesting doctor friend of Harley's. It's then that Deadshot and Harley learn that they were free before Ted Kord took over, having completed enough missions for Waller with their sentences now served.
Now, in Suicide Squad #7, Deadshot goes home to see his daughter. However, while reconnecting with his family, a report on the TV lists him as well as the other Revolutionaries as wanted criminals. It seems as though Ted Kord doesn't care that Lawton's done his time, sending in a fully armed tactical unit to bring him back into the fold. After dealing with the soldiers, and receiving backup in the nick of time from Harley and the Revolutionaries, Deadshot knows what he must do, if he wants to truly be free.
While the delivery of the line might be somewhat confusing for some, Deadshot is more than likely referring to killing the leadership behind Task Force X and the program, not the members of the Suicide Squad themselves, considering that they just saved his and his daughter's life. Deadshot is ready to take the fight to Ted Kord, and he better be ready for it. Deadshot finally has a real shot to be with his family and kid again, raising the stakes pretty high for what looks to be his final mission. Fans will have to wait and see the outcome when the Suicide Squad #8 releases next month. Suicide Squad #7 is on shelves now.
