So far, Constriction has been a lot better than the previous Suicide Squad arcs I’ve reviewed. That’s not to say that the story so far hasn’t been without its fair share of problems, but at least we’ve seen an increase in quality since I began reviewing this title. So I was eager to see this arc’s…

The current arc of Suicide Squad has easily been the best of all the arcs I’ve reviewed so far. The last two issues have been very entertaining in the way that they present the dynamic between Batman and Deadshot and the motivations for each character: both want to save Deadshot’s daughter. In this issue, rather…

Pretty much since I started reviewing Suicide Squad with #33, I’ve been very critical of the series. I’ve been giving it low marks, because I saw too many plot holes and dialogue issues, and it never made sense to me that Waller would send the Squad to deal with large threats in a city. Yes,…

In my opinion, Suicide Squad hadn’t been that great lately. The book’s quality suffered from predictable storytelling, plot holes and character interactions that, to me, felt more mandatory than natural. But, since the previous arc came to a close, I’ve been looking forward to this new arc with a more optimistic mindset. A new story…

It’s no secret that my opinion on Suicide Squad, as a series, hasn’t been very high as of late. I’ve found the story about Hack to be very predictable, and therefore boring and dull. However, #39 turned out to be a lot better than preceding episodes, with strong characters and a much more focused plot.…

Last month, in #38, we saw that the Captain Prohaska’s AI got hacked and the super-soldier started to wreak havoc. Then, the one who’d taken over his AI, also took control of the parietal lobe of every living being in Washington, including the president. The following threat was made to Flag: don’t send any super-humans…

Captain Prohaska, codenamed The Wall, is a super-soldier employed by the United States government. The character was first introduced in Suicide Squad #35. This guy has advanced stealth technology and even carries a small nuclear warhead as part of his arsenal. He also has an AI implanted in his brain so he can access military…

This issue is intended to conclude the three part arc Drain the Swamp, a story centered around Hack. The previous episode’s cliffhanger showed us that Waller, in an attempt to defeat Hack once and for all, blew up Belle Reve’s servers with the Squad members still tied to them. In this issue we will find…

Suicide Squad #36 is the second chapter of Drain the Swamp, a story starring Hack as the main villain. Last issue we were introduced to the super soldier known as The Wall, a living weapon controlled by the President of the United States. We also saw that Hack has somehow merged with Belle Reve’s mainframe,…

Suicide Squad #35 is the start of a new arc, entitled Drain The Swamp. After a short break, Rob Williams is back on scripting duties, this time delivering a story about artificial technology and the dangers that come with it. While I think that the art is solid and that the issue is a quick…

Suicide Squad #34 is part two of The Chosen One, an arc written by Si Spurrier and illustrated by Fernando Pasarin (pencils), Sean Parsons (inks) and Blond (colors). It picks up right where the previous issue left off, with the main character—a nobody named Juan—in great peril as he is about to be eaten by…

Not only is this issue the start of a two-parter, it is also where a new creative team takes over from Williams & co, and so there is the opportunity for those looking to get into Suicide Squad to hop on board with a fresh start. The question is, of course: is this a good…

Rob Williams wraps up “The Secret History of Task Force X” in this week’s chapter of Suicide Squad, and while I consider this issue to be a high-point for the arc, it’s still, unfortunately, quite mediocre overall. I feel as though Rob Williams has lost his way. I’m not certain what’s to blame – perhaps…

Oh crap… It’s the “Hero Harley Show” this week in Suicide Squad… Also, the last issue featured the Red Wave monster going after Karin Grace to regain half of its heart. This issue features the exact same thing, and not much else. “The Secret History of Task Force X” has been a mixed bag for…

In this chapter of Suicide Squad, we get silly, fun action with a giant, red, dinosaur-alien. To quote the great Samuel L. Jackson from Jurassic Park, “Hold on to your butts.” After an attempt to assassinate Amanda Waller fails, the Squad begins investigating Argent – a covert government agency that appears to be defunct. The…

If there were an MVP for comics, Captain Boomerang would win it for Suicide Squad #29! An attempt on Waller’s life has lead the Suicide Squad on an interesting mission that delves into the history of Task Force X! After learning the assassination attempt was executed from an Argent android, Waller divides the Squad into…

In this issue of Suicide Squad, Katana is looking for proof, Deadshot is looking for backup, and Harley is looking for… sex. I’m just going to come right out and say it. I’m not a fan of this issue. Everything that surprised me with the previous issue is nowhere to be found here. After a…

Oh, Rob… At some point, I really will learn to trust you. Remember when Suicide Squad was one of the most entertaining titles in Rebirth? After a questionable arc containing a number of decisions that can only be described as “head-scratchers,” I found myself becoming less enthusiastic about Suicide Squad. I don’t want to say…

You should know something before you read my review… The story doesn’t matter. Just go get this issue because of Stjepan Sejic’s art! No seriously. Do it just to boost sales to show the importance of damn good artists! My introduction to this review is clearly a joke. Well, 50% of it is a joke.…

Oh, Suicide Squad, how you’ve fallen from grace. You literally went from being one of Rebirth’s top titles, to completely pointless thanks to this arc/issue... Before Rebirth launched, I had no faith in Suicide Squad. The previous runs of Suicide Squad were mostly horrendous, so that alone made me weary. On top of that, I…
