It's been so long since I read this. I liked it pretty well. It's dark and violent, and for Harley fans, she has a moment where she questions what she's become. I would take a star off because Deadshot is under-utilized and sidelined, and he's one of my favorite characters. There was a lot of mayhem with this volume, so that made it had to follow. I did like seeing the tables briefly turned on Waller, but she's almost impossible to outmanuever. Black Manta is a prick!I was happy to have more Sui...
Amanda Waller learns that Vic Sage is a traitor and is willing to do anything to get rid of Waller and Task Force X aka Sucide Squad. Sean Ryan is back with writing duties along with art by Philippe Briones. Ryan seems to have a better handle on the personalities of the characters this time around but the plot seems like average fair. I did enjoy this volume a lot better than the last two but only by a smidgeon.
I still don't care for Amanda Waller and her motives on anything but she was very entertaining in taking down Vic. She works well with Task Force X because she's like them, doing what she's good at and feeling stuck where she is. They can't go anywhere and neither can she. She's just not behind a prison cell. Harley Quinn continues to have her identity crisis. After the last volume, she doesn't know who she should be and want she wants out of life. It's starting to affect her job performance. I'...
(B) 74% | More than SatisfactoryNotes: Decent but disappointing, it's drowned dynamite: drab, dispirited drudgery, futilely finished with fragmentary filler.
Man after an amazing volume 1, a pretty decent volume 2, we get a pretty bad volume 3. There's still some funny moments in the first few issues but this one takes a huge nose dive. Especially the ending of this volume which focuses on solo stories of deadshot and katana. What I liked: Some of the humor was fun in issue 1-2 and then...dies. Quickly. Anyway more good...uh...we get a fun version of...wait what am I even saying. What I didn't like: All the characters felt lifeless. Everything buildi...
Amanda Waller finally uncovers the plot designed to take the Squad apart from the inside. She also fires a warning shot at the corporation behind the plot. There's more character studies, and we see a few team members seem to flip-flop as they try to discover their true motivation. Art isn't bad, and overall another good volume. This was one a little shorter than the others, so not quite as much going on. Still not bad.
Harley being all emo is getting old fast. Either she needs to try to change, or go back to how she "normally" is. Also, poor Bonnie. She was the only really likable character in the whole book.
Enjoyed the story and artwork.
Amanda Waller discovers Sage has been manipulating Task Force X aka Suicide Squad as part of a conspiracy and takes herself and the team into deep cover. Meanwhile the Squad are fractured and proving to be more ineffective – is this the end of Suicide Squad? If you read this you’ll probably find yourself eagerly anticipating that!Sean Ryan’s New Suicide Squad started so promisingly that it’s disappointing to see it end so poorly. The team have become a useless disaster. Parasite’s unconscious fo...
Great stories. One more volume and I will be caught up on the Suicide Squad prior to Rebirth. More of the Mission Impossible style of stories. On the run, even from their own side. Kind of hard to keep calling them villains anymore. Can't wait for the Blu-ray of the movie to come out.
Well, eventually, things need to veer off-course, right? And I'm not referring to the plot. (Okay, I AM, but it works on two levels here) It's almost a given that as soon as a comic settles into place, moving on track, someone decides to toss a monkey wrench into the works. Then you get a trainwreck of a plot where everything slams into a brick wall of, "I guess that makes sense" and "All right, you sort of tied up a few loose ends." Then they tack on a few "bonus" content pieces that don't cont...
It made some good points about how corporations are becoming more important to people than countries. It's all a matter of where we spend our time and money.
I think New Suicide Squad is going to go down as one of my favorite comic series of all time!!!
Amanda Waller easily sees through what Vic Sage is planning and takes the team underground. At least for a couple of issues. It all felt rather rushed and gets tied up all nice and tidy within 2 issues. It was all kind of a letdown after establishing Vic Sage as a foil for Amanda Waller over the previous dozen issues. Not great, but not bad either. The only really interesting part is when the team figures out the implants aren't working and go after Waller. Phillip Briones's art looks like John
So from what I understand this issues 13-18 so this is my review of that.I liked the direction that Ryan was going with the Squad, he chose character driven plot over just explosions and simple storylines. However I guess DC didn't want that and once again we get ANOTHER author change...World: The art is fine for the first 4 issues, I like the style of the characters, I would have liked a bit more detail on the coloring but overall it's a good looking book. The world building is also good, we've...
In a post-Suicide Squad movie world, this comic does it's best to provide something on par with the film from an action standpoint. Obviously, the story has an ability to stretch much wider here than the film, and it definitely takes advantage of it. Amanda Waller has been put into the field with Task Force X. When a traitor back at Belle Reve attempts to activate the neck bombs in the squad, only to be thwarted by Waller's desire to not be blown up, the team turns on her and attempts their esca...
Freedom is a really short arc to conclude the main storyline, Vic Sage managed to break Black Manta out of jail, all hell breaks loose at Belle Reve. We now know the full extent of Task Force X and Waller became a character of loathing once more.
One of their better missions.We get a better picture of the problems inside our little family of monsters.Oh yeah. Things blow up.
Like volume 2 before it I really enjoyed this one. This volume is the one that brings to Amanda Waller/Vic Sage battle of wits to a head. Through his sneakiness Sage managed to get Waller into a really bad jam, but being Amanda Waller she tries to get the most out of the situation except that her situation involves her dealing with the suicide squad a lot closer than she usually deals with them and a lot less bullet proof glass between her and them. This one is an action packed battle of wits be...
