Can’t wait for this, it’s very underrated and definitely in my top 3 of favourite books right now.
maybe not so under rated any more huh? you ever see this Suicide Squad video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjPJSpovw0E
This & Batwoman are the only DC titles I get now
dropped so many of the others, just weren’t working
for me.
Suicide Squad vs. Thunderbolts, who would win?
suicide
Fans of both
don’t think anyone on the suicide squad could handle Juggernaut. So I have to lean on Thunderbolts.
is juggernaut still a member. After fear itsel they destroyed the charater?
I saw the preview for this (maybe CBR?) anyways…the art is awesome! And the answer to Suicide Squad vs Thunderbolts? Always bet on Harley Quinn!
especially when it comes to the relaunch Harley i think her side kick days are over. made this video to say fuck you to all the relaunch Harley detractors : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVQ0tovHHhg&feature=youtube_gdata
Get well soon, Harley.
if you love the Harley relaunch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVQ0tovHHhg&feature=youtube_gdata

WAY too much “Now” – “Then” – “6 Months Ago” – “Now” – 2 Seconds Ago” – “Soon” – “Almost” – “Back Then” – “Currently”
Jesus, can’t anyone tell a straight, linear story these days?
I really enjoyed all the flashbacks and especially with the suspense of finally figuring out who the secret assassin is in the group was really fun, especially near the end. 5/5 for me for sure:)
I will admit that linear stuff does get to me after awhile when it is point less however, I feel that by the end you really get the purpose of why they did it this way and I thought they did a great job with it. As far as this issue goes; it scored another 5 from me and my POW!! The artwork was again very well done, the set up of the back stories and the treatment Waller gives these murderous villians is felt off the page as well. it is not just written as; beat them, torture them just because thats the way it goes no; it is done where you can see why and also see the real crazy nature of how Waller is with the metas. I believe if you are not reading this you should go ahead and get the trade and then jump in because I am even going to buy the trade because I wanna read it as a straight shot because I think it is going to read even better as a trade right now. The only real problem I have is waiting month to month however; I think if it came out any sooner it would not be as awesome. It always keeps me thinking and this ending sure did, who is the trader?? Lets discuss some thoughts and odds (1-no way to 5-best chance):
1.) Harley- No way, to crazy and only really seems to react outside of the box is with Mr. J and the fact she is also a big part of this title. (1)
2.) Deadshot – He is the main stay of this group, the back bone, although I am sure he would not mind getting back at Waller, getting some bread and getting free to see his daughter at all cost; hhhmmmm? (4)
3.) King Shark – This seems to be the wild card?! He is a great character in this title and seems be one of the main stays however; he really, really would love to eat Waller and probably everyone else if he could. Money and a chance to devour Waller for the way she is treating his murderous azz??(5) I think this is one of my two picks.
4.) El Diablo – Really very intresting character, although does not seem to have it all together or is an act and does not seem to be a fan favorite..hhhmmmmm? (4)
5.) Black Spider – I know he feels bad for some shit he did and thinks he needs to pay for it however; he is after all really a hero and I get the feeling he really is not what he appears to be. Is he working with the Bat or something also? If not he sure feels like he would be a spy and has free access to all things on this task force including Waller’s trust. (5) This is my other.
6.) Light – She is cannon foder ( I think thats how you spellit?)! (1)
7.) Savant – just seems to be to easy to be him. (2)
Or it could be one of the in and out characters that really don’t matter…??

I’m thinking it’s Savant since the flashbacks are colored red and he’s always wearing a mask with red eyes, Also with his conversation with Waller he said the Suicide Squad is dead. Could be Deadshot too with his red goggles but I doubt it since he’s a main character.
Savant seems to be too obvious of a choice.
I enjoyed this issue. It had some breathing room/denouement, some back story, and set up a new mystery. I thought it handled all these well. 4/5
My LCS still hasn’t found me an issue of this yet!!
