Suicide Squad follows a group of highly dangerous villains, let loose as a black ops task force. They’ve got bombs implanted in them in case they decide to disobey orders, and they’re given the toughest, dirtiest missions.
This is one of those series where the premise sounds better than the actual outcome...at least that’s what the first issue or two made me feel. After it gets into the swing of things, I found myself enjoying it more, especially the banter between the characters. One thing needs to be clear though; this is not a book for the weak of constitution. There’s torture, bloody violence, and the characters are not what you would consider the most moral of people. If you can stomach that, you might find something to enjoy in this book. Try not to get too attached to the characters though, the turnover rate for the squad is pretty high!
The art in the series is pretty good, the colours especially. There’s never any problem differentiating characters, and it’s pretty consistent. I wouldn’t say it was the best art around, but it’s definitely not bad.
Issue #12 leaves us on quite a cliffhanger, and I’m looking forward to picking up #13 after the zero-issue of this month. Overall, I’d give the book 4/5 stars, though caution that it’s not for everyone.
