Eventually, the Suicide Squad's existence was revealed to the public and later the operation was shut down and Amanda Waller sent to prison for crimes committed while head of the team. She was later offered a pardon in exchange for performing services for the government (the poetic justice of this did not escape anyone) and the Suicide Squad was reformed as a private contractor, though still with the ability to recruit convicted criminals as needed. The series ended with issue #66 (June, 1992).
 
There were various incarnations of the Squad appearing in other titles for a few years, then a new Suicide Squad series began in 2001. Written by Keith Giffen, this version was headed by [[Sgt. Rock (Comic Book)|Frank ("Sergeant") Rock]], and lasted only twelve issues. The series ended on the cliffhanger that Rock may have been an impostor, and leaving open the question of just who that version of the Squad had actually worked for.
 
The Squad has since been reformed under Amanda Waller's leadership, appearing in ''[[Fifty Two|52]]'', ''[[Checkmate]]'' and the limited series ''Suicide Squad: Raise the Flag'', which brought back Rick Flagg Jr. as a brainwashed pawn of General Eiling.
