You know them, you probably have ambivalent feelings about them, they're the Suicide Squad! This book, presumably an attempt to both drum up and piggyback off of the hype for the upcoming movie, focuses on a Suicide Squad not before seen in comics or film. Personally, I've never been in love with the squad, but…
We’ve reached the end of Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo’s Suicide Squad! Does the creative team deliver a satisfying conclusion or does the book crash and burn on its way out? Find out below! Despite stating otherwise in interviews, there’s no way that DC – or Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo’s for that matter –…
This is the penultimate issue of Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo’s Suicide Squad, and they don’t hold back from delivering some hard knocks! The Story Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo have delivered an insanely entertaining run on Suicide Squad! It’s a run that has been action packed, shocking, engaging, and even heartfelt. With the introduction…
I’m seeing quite a bit of praise for Suicide Squad #9 because of the shocking conclusion… Meanwhile, I’m over here like, “Umm… Did you not see the barrage of media spoiling this issue a little while back? I mean, if you work in comics, there’s no way you missed it.” So, no, I didn’t find…
For months now, I’ve praised Suicide Squad as being one of the best in-continuity books hitting shelves for DC Comics. While that sentiment remains, this chapter is easily one of the weakest in the run. It was recently announced that this iteration of Suicide Squad would end with issue #11. Feel sudden? Yeah, I agree.…
Following massive layoffs and company wide restructuring, DC Comics has confirmed the cancellation of several titles including Teen Titans, Young Justice, Suicide Squad, Hawkman, and John Constantine: Hellblazer. These books join the already confirmed cancellations of Batgirl, Batman and the Outsiders, and Justice League Odyssey alongside the planned conclusions of The Batman’s Grave and Metal…
Suicide Squad is the best in-continuity book being published by DC Comics at the moment! That’s all you really need to know, but if you want me to lavish praise on the book and creative team, then just keep reading! The Story Tom Taylor has been doing excellent work on Suicide Squad. When I say…
This month, the Suicide Squad heads to Gotham City as they continue to flee Ted Kord and a horde of assassins and mercenaries. And when you enter the city of the Dark Knight, you’re bound to run into him… So, how interesting is it that this – of all the issues to date – is…
What… Just… Happened? I hope you’re ready, because this is going to be another review where I gush over the creative team and the book, because Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo are killing it on Suicide Squad! I mean it! This book has everything! This is easily the most fun, action-packed, in-continuity story hitting the…
Captain Boomerang makes his glorious return to Suicide Squad, and I’ve never been happier to see him! The Story With the first mission out of the way, Tom Taylor turns the Squad’s attention to one of their former teammates, Captain Boomerang. Whenever Digger is around, you know things are bound to get interesting… Mainly because…
If there’s one thing that’s certain, it’s that Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo know how to deliver an entertaining and engaging story! The Story Suicide Squad delivers its third issue, and man is this book an absolute blast! If you ever need a “How To” for writing ensemble teams, you should look here. Suicide Squad…
Tom Taylor delivers his second issue of Suicide Squad, which contains more bombastic action and a good dose of character development as well! If you didn’t pick up the debut, you’re going to want to jump on this bandwagon before it’s too late. Trust me. The Story It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan…
It’s finally here—the new and improved Suicide Squad! Tom Taylor crafts an exciting start to this new series that’s funny, a bit gruesome, and subverts expectations. And yes, true to the cover’s promise, half of the team is dead by the end of the issue (just not the half or the team you were expecting).…
Here we are. The final issue of Suicide Squad. It’s not a secret that I have been very critical of this series since I started reviewing it, and even this book’s final arc—Rocket to Russia—hasn’t exactly received the most favorable reviews from me so far. With an extra-long issue to conclude Williams’s long run as…
And so we’re getting ever closer to the end of this long Suicide Squad run. #49 is the second chapter of “Rocket to Russia,” and the second-to-last chapter in the entire series. As I read this, I just find myself wondering what happened to this book. Back when Williams started out with Jim Lee as…
With the upcoming #50 as this title’s final issue, it looks like #48 is the start of the series’ last arc. While I’ve been rather critical of the series so far, there have also been some good issues, so I’m hoping that Williams can manage to close out his run on a high note. So,…
What’s interesting about this issue is that it is barely a Suicide Squad story. In fact, it’s a character-focused one-shot about Captain Boomerang, who goes on a solo mission to stop a mysterious villain named the Bunyip. Moreover, this is a comic that’s very new-reader friendly, because it doesn’t reference previous installments of the series.…
Welcome back to Sink Atlantis, a four part crossover event running through Aquaman and Suicide Squad. This is part 3, which means that this issue’s main objective is to set up the finale. Does the creative team manage to pull this off, or does it result in a rocky ride toward the end? Let’s have…
While Task Force X is preoccupied with their mission in Atlantis (see the current Sink Atlantis crossover with Aquaman), this annual takes a look at everything that goes wrong at Belle Reve while the Squad is away. Not only does this story’s cast consist of various obscure characters, it also incorporates elements of body horror, slasher…
Suicide Squad #45 is the first chapter of Sink Atlantis, a four part crossover with Aquaman. I’ve been reading both titles for a while now, and in my opinion each has its distinct identity. Where Suicide Squad is a team book about super-villains undertaking explosive missions for the U.S. government, Aquaman is a sprawling fantasy…
