Suicide Squad (comic)

5 on Suicide Squad #4 reviewSuicide Squad has turned into one wild ride! While the first issue made me a little nervous, every issue since then has proven that the debut was just a fluke. This chapter does drop a little in quality compared to the previous two issues, but it's still a good, fun read! If you haven't been…
Oh my squad, now this is a suicide mission! It’s the Suicide Squad vs Zod… or as I’m referring to it, Suicide Squad #3: the issue where people fall in love with Katana. After last month’s cliffhanger, I was eager to get my hands on this book! Did it deliver? In some ways, yes. In…
Ah! Praise baby Jesus! This is much better than issue #1! If you remember, I had some unkind words for the previous issue because nothing happened. We had twelve pages of a story, and barely got a set-up, so I grew concerned that there would hardly be any plot progression with each issue moving forward.…
Now this is what I’m talking about! Suicide Squad: War Crimes #1 is the type of Suicide Squad story that I want to read on a monthly (or bi-weekly) basis! Considering Ostrander introduced us to the Suicide Squad, it’s no surprise that I hold his idea of this title on a pedestal. This is a…
Prior to Suicide Squad’s Rebirth, DC announced that each issue would contain a main story that would take up roughly 12 pages of the issue, followed by a back-up story to finish out the last 8 pages. They’re doing this to ensure Jim Lee is able to meet his deadlines, but I wasn’t too excited…

On the eve of the film releasing, Suicide Squad has officially “Rebirthed.” As I did with most of the Rebirth titles, I came into this book anxious to see what direction the new creative team was going to take the narrative. What changes will we see? Will they be good? Bad? Weird? How well will…
Just a friendly reminder: the annual Free Comic Book Day is upon us this Saturday, May 7th. Beginning in 2002, the first Saturday of May has been recognized as a day where different publishers release free materials to find new readers, provide a sampling of their product, and most importantly to encourage visiting a local…
Suicide Squad #30: "Walled In" by Sean Ryan and Andre Coelho After some ups and (mostly) downs, Suicide Squad releases it's final issue before rebooting with the New Suicide Squad in July. "Walled In" picks up in the aftermath of Forever Evil - you know, the event that took forever to end, and apparently takes…
Earlier this week DC announced that they'd be relaunching Teen Titans in July, and now there are new plans for Suicide Squad as well! IGN recently announced the launch of the NEW SUICIDE SQUAD—with new members and a new creative team! Following the events of FOREVER EVIL, the world has changed for Task–Force X, a.k.a. The…
Yesterday, DC Comics released their full list of solicitations for the month of April, 2014. Although the cancellation of books like Teen Titans and Justice League of America were announced ahead of time, fans were surprised to read "FINAL ISSUE" in all capital letters when they skimmed through the solicitations for Nightwing, Superman Unchained, and now…
The third volume in the adventures of a secret black ops group full of B- and C-list villains features even more Harley Quinn than before, gives Yo-Yo an origin story, and ties itself not only to the Death of the Family event, but books like Team 7, Birds of Prey, and Teen Titans as well.…
After my interview with Chris Burnham I had about two hours or so before I would need to head back to the DC Comics booth for more interviews. In that span of time I lost the tiny pieces of paper with my handwritten questions and I tried in vain to hear the audio from my…
After feeling like I was in the minority for my appreciation of the fun that was Suicide Squad Volume 1 I feel like I sunk right down with the rest of the crowd with Basilisk Rising. The laughs and surprises just weren't there this time around and the bad guy left a lot to be…
This is an important issue in the development of Harley Quinn as her own woman, a step forward for her as a character that can function without the Joker. But I also hated it. There are two things that have already happened in the comics recently that I despise and both were brought up again in this…
Suicide Squad is one of those books that I sat aside and waited to read in trade only so as you can imagine I had no idea what was going on in this book outside of the Death of the Family tie-in stuff. So it's not going to be one of my best reviews because…
Behold a review of yet another fringe bat-title. "Suicide Squad" (the first, if not the only New 52 title to go UP in sales rather than down) is one of those New 52 books that I neglected reviewing because I didn't consider it to be "Batman" enough. The bat-qualities of "Suicide Squad" are few and…
