For context, I read this issue of Suicide Squad just a week after watching another team, Stormwatch, literally crash and burn within its pages to be rebooted. Combine these two with a third DC team book I subject myself to and you could call my subscription list Teen Suicide Watch. Teen Suicide Watch may also appear on the medical charts of many other readers of this trio of books. Much like the reader, the characters in this issue have no idea what is going on for its entirety. The motivations conveyed through the dialogue and actions of Deadshot and Harley speak to only the most basic understanding of their characters. Glass started the series pretty well, but he has a way of adding a lot of twists that tend to subtract instead of add up to anything. As of this issue, for example, Harley has a very Way-Deadpool split personality dialogue box that came out of nowhere, whereas before she was a more nuanced, conflicted character. Harley has been subject to the most character development(?) over the course of the series and still, somehow between her DotF tie-in that revamped her origin (Joker showed her that she is just one of many in a line of Harleys), and jumping between romantic interests for the purpose of making a few innuendos in a way that justifies her costume, she seems like the most disposable character in the book-- though it's not like even the most worthless creations stay dead. I think the body count of the squad at this point is three? Everyone else has come back. Voltaic was brought back in #18 to be a mindless, speechless, non-character in this issue. Harley and Regulus died and came back, and Deadshot is set for his second resurrection based on future solicits. As for art, the cover, like most this month, takes two scenes out of context and puts them together, and the interiors are good enough to serve as a blank slate for a boring story. That said, there is no reason that Ales Kot's run shouldn't be great. Glass has done us the favor of making Suicide Squad so inconsequential within even its own world, that nothing cannot be washed away. Maybe Waller can have JLA's Martian Manhunter, who is formerly of Stormwatch, and who is definitely not formerly of any official Justic League, retcon --I mean-- memory wipe the whole team. Oh yeah, and the Unknown Soldier says hi.
