Oh, Suicide Squad, I used to love you, but now I’m feeling a little indifferent. This issue does hold promise for the future though, so maybe I’ll give you a few more chances. I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’ve been disappointed with the current arc of Suicide Squad. “Kill Your Darlings” doesn’t…

  I’m really beginning to have a love/hate relationship with this arc of Suicide Squad. The whole, “Harley is the new field leader!” bit is beginning to get toned down (thankfully), but we unfortunately move from that focus to another one that feels equally as forced… The Squad going after Killer Frost and Batman.  …

In this issue of Suicide Squad, Harley’s reign as field leader continues while, surprisingly, the most interesting aspects of the chapter stem from Waller’s plot! If there’s one thing I really enjoy about Rob Williams (other than the fact that he embraces consequences in his narratives), it’s that he keeps you on your toes. Every…

  In this chapter of Suicide Squad, Amanda Waller goes on trial, and Harley Quinn takes over as the field leader of the Squad! I wish I could say I enjoyed this issue as much as I typically do, but this whole Harley thing is really throwing me off!   Writing comics is no easy…

  In this chapter of Suicide Squad, Amanda Waller assigns a new field leader!   I’m going to be honest with you… Not much happens in this issue. If you were hoping to jump into the aftermath of Flag’s sacrifice, and ramrod head-first into that drama, then curb those expectations. If you were expecting more…

  Eradicator and Cyborg Superman have broken into Belle Reve… That’s not good. That’s not good for Waller, the Squad, or the world…   I’m going to be honest with you, Suicide Squad #19 doesn’t knock it out of the park in the way that I’ve come to expect. For whatever reason, Rob Williams’ script…

  The last time we checked in on Amanda Waller and the Suicide Squad, General Zod was drilling into his brain with his heat vision! So what should you expect from this issue? The usual: sex and mayhem… Ok, the sex is kind of new, but the mayhem is standard fair by now.   In…

  Hey Warner Bros., if you need a script for Suicide Squad 2, look no further. Rob Williams has already done that for you. You’re welcome!   It should be pretty clear by now that I’m a big fan of Suicide Squad, and an even bigger fan of Rob Williams. In fact, this is probably…

  Perfection. Sheer perfection.     If you’ve been following Suicide Squad since it’s Rebirth, then you know that a lot has happened over the course of fifteen issues. Everything up to this point has felt like one, ever-growing, story as Williams masterfully intertwines plot and character arcs together. Consequences have played an active role…

  The conclusion to Suicide Squad’s “Burning Down the House” is exactly what I was hoping for! If you’ve been following the story, you’re in for a satisfying conclusion! I always praise Williams for his ability to craft long-form stories, and he has yet to disappoint me! I want to see him on Suicide Squad…

Don’t blink! Suicide Squad #14’s “main story” flies by at light-speed, and when you realize you’ve reached the end, you’ll be upset because you’ll want more! Thankfully, the back-up is less of an actual back-up these days, and more of a character-focused aside pertaining to the events of the main story. The question is whether…

  (Reads issue and rubs hands together mischievously.) Oh… Oh, this is good. This is really, really good…   Have I ever told you that I’m a fan of Rob Williams? Because I am. A big fan. Out of all the writers I cover at the moment, I feel as though his approach to a…

  Amanda Waller is dead! We all know what that means in comics… No more Suicide Squad! Shut the program down, throw the team members into a proper jail, and cancel the book!... That, or Waller isn’t dead. Take your pick.   If there’s one thing that I think we all need to remind ourselves,…

  Oh boy… I’m 100% positive that Romita’s art is going to skew my judgement of this book… Suicide Squad #11 is the first issue following the epilogue to Justice League vs Suicide Squad. For the most part, it’s business as usual for the Squad. For Amanda Waller, however, it’s anything but… And that makes…

Suicide Squad #10 serves as an epilogue to Justice League vs Suicide Squad, and while this issue appears to be what you would expect initially, trust me when I tell you it’s not. “The Cost” isn’t so much about the consequences of Justice League vs Suicide Squad, but about the consequences of Amanda Waller’s actions…

I’m going to be honest, Rob Williams did not have an easy job in writing this story… assuming he was told the parameters of what he needed to write, and what he could/ couldn’t disclose by his editors. But don’t worry, this review isn’t going to be a giant excuse for the issue’s “shortcomings” simply…

“Going Sane – Part 4: I Believe In Miracles” You know what I like about Suicide Squad? You can count on it to be one hell of a fun read! Rob Williams and Jim Lee have crafted a story that I look forward to reading each and every time an issue is released. The action…

The people of Belle Reve have lost their mind… except for Harley Quinn. She’s sane, and she’s encountering a world of insanity. Go figure. Typically, I would find this concept interesting. Having a psychopath turn normal isn’t exactly a new concept – they’ve done it with the Joker – but changing the character that experiences…

The more I read Rob Williams’ Suicide Squad, the more I wish he would helm the upcoming Justice League vs Suicide Squad crossover. I’ve greatly enjoyed his work so far, and feel that he’s doing a great job of balancing the various tones of the book brilliantly. Yes, the stories are shorter, but that isn’t…
