Amanda Waller is expanding Task Force X...and she's about to create her Dream team. Spinning out of the pages of Action Comics #1060 and Titans: Beast World World Tour Metropolis #1, Amanda Waller is recruiting for Task Force X. She knows she needs the best of the best--heroes, villains...it doesn't really matter. The first person she's determined to recruit? Nia Nal, a.k.a Dreamer. Who else will Waller pursue? And what is she planning for once she's assembled her DREAM TEAM? Find out in Suicide Squad: Dream Team written by Nicole Maines, who played Dreamer in the Supergirl TV show!

"Nicole Maines knows a little something about a "happily-ever-after." Not just because she's a self-professed expert in the Disney princess canon (Ariel's flowing orange hair? ICONIC). But also, she's lived it. After coming out at the age of three, her family had not only come to terms with her transgender identity and accepted her, but they won a landmark court case in the Maine Supreme Court. She graduated high school and got into college. She got her first gender-affirming surgery at eighteen and a boyfriend. She achieved her lifelong goal of becoming an actress when she landed a major role in CW's Supergirl, based on the comics she had always loved. Cue sappy music and sunsets, because we've got ourselves a happy ending, right? Ha! Please! Life isn't actually like that! For the first time, in her own words, Nicole tells her story, bringing us on her journey from her childhood in rural Maine to the spotlights of Hollywood, sharing the lessons she's learned along the way. With clever wit and unflinching honesty, she tackles some of the most insidious messaging absorbed by queer kids and all young women, from the idea that any one thing can (or should) ever really "fix" you, to wondering what's wrong with you when things don't always feel better, and reminding us that, sometimes, a happy ending is only the beginning of the story"--
