Entertaining but not what I expected at all, Although I like the drawing style and the action scenes, I feel that the story could have been much better.

I really hated this, but it looks like I'm in the minority.I just...I don't get it.To me, this wasn't the least bit funny, wasn't the least bit entertaining, and didn't have anything remotely resembling characters that I even gave a partial shit about.Corny as fuck.I had picked it up several times, tried to get into it, and ended up putting it down so that I could go do something more fun...like laundry. I finally decided to force my way through it after flipping toward the end and seeing a stor...

It was easy, fun read but I felt a bit disappointed. However, I remain a villain fan. I will take villain over superhero anytime! These are the bad guys for a reason. There is no turning them good; they will always do what they want. And I'm really getting annoyed with the "bad guy equals a coward." It's like if they want to show the world black and white. Also, this one has on the cover "ideal start for new readers", and I could not disagree more. This is probably the worst to start with. I won...

I received an eARC of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.I love Suicide Squad. I can't say why, I just do. Probably the whole anti-hero thing and gray morality and dark humor rolled up into a super hero being team I can get behind. I even liked the film, despite everyone instructing me to dislike it.And you know, I just freakin' adore Harley Quinn.Now this particular collection was enjoyable to me as a re-reboot in the Rebirth era of the Reboot-not-a-...

I found this to be a mixed bag. Some of it worked quite well, while other parts were nonsensical. First, Jim Lee's art is, of course, great. DC has decided to go with the team from the movie here, which I get. However, I do have some problems with that. Namely, how is Harley locked up in Belle Rive and running around Brooklyn in her solo title at the same time? I haven't seen this explained in either book, but I'm guessing DC's answer is "She's our 5th most popular character!"Beware: spoilers co...

I received this from Edelweiss and DC Comics in exchange for an honest review. This was pretty good. The story in the first half of the book was okay, although it seemed to be a bit over the top with the Suicide Squad fighting General Zod, accidentally released from the Phantom Zone. This felt more like a setup for the on-going storyline. I really liked the back stories of the squad in the second half of the book. Very nice, especially if you don't know the characters very well.

The introductory panels had an almost blurry effect to them that really detracted from the content. This improved as the book entered the main plot. The story follows some of what the movie went with as the history of the group but with some creative deviation: some good choices, others not. Considering the length of the graphic novel, there wasn't much depth to the characters with exception to Harley Quinn. The villain, Zod, was defeated in an anticlimactic frame, but he did do something right

I’ve now read enough of the Rebirth line to know not to get my hopes up for anything and, yup, Suicide Squad Rebirth is another dud! This iteration of the team is the line-up of the terrible (yet OSCAR-WINNING!!! And for makeup? Bullshit that garbage had better makeup than Star Trek Beyond!) movie: Deadshot, Harley, Boomerang, Killer Croc, Katana, Enchantress and Rick Flag. They gots to steal some powerful MacGuffin called The Black Vault and fight a Russian Suicide Squad and General Zod. Rob Wi...

From the first volume, this absolutely isn't a book for me, but it isn't total crap, either. Damning with faint praise, I guess, but it's a fair assessment. I found the action dull, the story pointless, and the dialog was largely somewhere between mediocre and plain awful. ("He thinks you're an alien from Alien!" Ouch.) The art is serviceable, but that's about it. And yet, there are a few gems and actually funny moments scattered (somewhat widely) throughout. And the "Personnel Files" which were...

This book was pretty awesome and I loved the illustrations! The story was pretty good too and I liked the part where all the backgrounds were given. It helped me connect to all the characters as I didn't know about half of their pasts. The dialogues were good too and overall I think this is one of the best graphic novels that I've read in the recent years. The female characters were neither over-dramatically sexy or muscle-ly or gay. They were really awesome and bad-ass and I really liked Harley...

Suicide Squad for that is more PG then M.I have to admit I have only read Suicide Squad since New 52, I really loved the series when I first read it and made good use of all the characters and was the right amount of violent and fun.This Rebirth Run however just seems wrong, for some reason Harley Quinn's boobs have quadrupled in size? For a character that is overly sexualized as is I did feel this was abit pointless..... I love Harley Quinn and is arguably my best anti-villian/anti-hero (not su...

This wasn't awful it was just meh. A big old meh of a title. They decided to make this squad just like the movie because...well shit man if you watch movies you read comics right? That goes for like 5% of the movie population if even that. I never understand why the hell they do that. So this time the squad is sent to do...oh who the fuck knows. And they meet obstacles in their way! OH NO! What I like: I liked Deadshot here still. Got some good laughs. And...the art can be good at times...someti...

2.5. Better than I expected. World: The art is fine, it's a bit boob and bro centric but overall that's been the look of the Squad since the New52 and I wasn't expecting anything to change. The world building here is pretty much page one again. It's a reboot and a reintroduction where things in the past are pretty much forgotten and so for new readers it's a good thing. Rick Flag is new again...and it's in line with the film. Story: I like the little character pieces at the end of each book, it'...

Didn't hate it, but didn't really love it either. I was interested to read this run because of all the talent on board with the art team and they certainly deliver on that front, with Jim Lee doing the main art and Jason Fabok and Gary Frank doing back up stories! The art all round is top-notch. The story and writing, on the other hand, are okay for the most part. The roster mainly just consists of the team you saw in the movie, which is fine but it kind of puts this movie in the cheap movie tie...

Provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest reviewI remember it like it was yesterday: Warner Brothers was going to be making a Suicide Squad movie! So exciting! And then the news reports began to seep in. Joker's wardrobe tests ( Hot Topic mall punk!!), hurried post- Deadpool reshoots (now that was a great movie!!), Jared Leto's behaviour. And then the actual movie came out: loud, incoherent, and dumb. So disappointing - a real wasted opportunity. Here, then, is what the Suicide Squad mo

"They are the Suicide Squad because they are expendable."THE VILLAINS+THE EXPENDABLES=THE SUICIDE SQUADI am pretty sure that's quite a dumb and false equation but I just found it funny.*weird me*

I was just trying this out but this was definitely not what I expected.Suicide Squad is not one of my favorite comics out there but I like Harley Quinn, so you could say I was reading this for her.The mission was over fast and that felt quick but I have the second volume too so I might give it another try.

this just stank up the whole place..Sorry but I'm not getting it.. Aren't they all supposed to be incinerated by Zod? XDThey even manage to get out alive and put him back in .. you know.. Ok enough spoiling..But seriously, don't even take a gander at this... You can just fastforward to the next thing on your list and avoid this steaming pile of d*ng...

I'm a huge fan of the Suicide Squad, and the fact Jim Lee did the art here only makes it better.I will say the story itself is a little thin. Rick Flagg is made the leader of the group and they are sent to a secret undersea prison in Russia in order to obtain a "cosmic object." (view spoiler)[ Turns out to be a Phantom Zone sphere containing General Zod. So we get the Suicide Squad vs. Zod, and the apparent death of Captain Boomerang at Zod's hands. (hide spoiler)]I liked it, but as I said ther...

Originally reviewed at Bookwraiths.Well, DC is rebirthing all their titles . . . again. Suicide Squad being one of the many books starting all over. And while I didn’t know what to expect from it, had to get a grip on all the new stuff going on, overall, I thought it was a good beginning with lots of promise.The new origin story begins the fun. Director Amanda Waller as the head of A.R.G.U.S. recruits a team of villains called — Task Force X, or Suicide Squad. (Not that there is much of a team h...
