Not a fan 6
The only reason I picked up the suicide squad is that I'm a HUGE Harley fan. I don't know any of these other bad guys. I'm on the fence about how I feel about Harley. Because this entire issue is like Resevoir Dogs, where the action already happened and now we're seeing the results all in one room, we don't get to see too much about how these characters are. On the one hand, Harley mostly seems the same personality and diction-wise. On the other hand, what's up with this new look? Also, ...

"Ha! Ha! Meat! Meat! Meat!" 0
Synopsis The Suicide Squad, captured and tortured have to hold out, but will any of them break? The Good I'm going to go ahead and say this, I've been looking forward to this book for a while now - Harley Quinn, Deadshot and King Shark on the same team? Yes please. From the first page where rats are biting at Deadshot's exposed chest, I am glad to say this feels like a Suicide Squad book. These people aren't nice, and even though they have been brought low they still have the callous ego t...

Suicide Squad, Not Secret Six but Still Pretty good 0
I’ve always been a fan of sticking a bunch of villains together on a team together and watching them try to work together, it almost always ends in disaster. Its like watching a car crash or a or an action movie, you know that it is going to end badly but you can’t help but watch and enjoy it. That being said, Suicide Squad definitely isn’t for the weak of heart. Warning this review will have a little bit of spoilers.What I likedI said this about Green Arrow, this issue seems to make sense. Most...

A Killer Read 0
Adam Glass takes part in the New 52. His contribution, is Suicide Squad. The series before this about mercenaries was the Secret Six and was pretty close to perfect? Can this compete? THE GOOD: The art is good and I think that it makes the story come together more. Adam Glass does a great job at introducing these characters to new readers. At first they might be confused but it all comes together at the end. Adam Glass surprised me with how good the story was. I wasn't sure if he would be able ...

I never saw this one coming - "Suicide Squad" is solid! 0
I really had no intentions of picking up "Suicide Squad" #1. But after arriving at my comic shop and thumbing through the issue I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. This is a dark, gritty introduction to a team of government sponsored killers put together to carry out missions that are, well, suicidal. Writer Adam Glass begins the narrative with the team members being individually tortured by a mysterious masked group seeking the name of who runs Task Force X (a.k.a. Suicide Squad). Glas...

Not quite to suicide yet... 0
This book did an ok job introducing us to it's cast of characters. Two of which I know pretty well and the others i know to varying degrees...The first thing on everyone's mind is Harley Quinn. How much did they mess her up? Well her costume is bad... and her personality is just slightly off the mark on the surface. Her psychosis...the why she is doing what she is doing is the same, but her personality and temperament is more akin to sinister... as though there she is evil rather than she is doi...

Prove that I deserve you 0
Harley Quinn's redesign is one of many points of great debate in the new 52 of DC Comics, but as this issue shows the hype generated by the costume change was mostly just that. Other than the sexualized cover, the issue itself focuses on a grittier story. It should stated as well that I have been a Suicide Squad fan for a long time, ever since the John Ostrander version (which granted was mostly written before I was born) so I am hesitant to give a lot of leniency in praise for series bearing ...

Delivers what it advertises. 2
I'm a fan of both Harley Quinn and Suicide Squad so I was hooked to this book, but I triedto look at it objectively on the second read through for the sakes of critiquing the books merits,which good for it I'll be able to keep short.In a nutshell, this book delivers exactly what it advertises, nothing more or less, hence why Igave it a firm rating.- New revamped version of the Suicide Squad as opposed to the classic. Check.- Harley Quinn is present and her storyline continues and character progr...

Someone Give Waller a Sandwich or Twenty. 2
Another book defies expectations this week, and that is Suicide Squad. Despite the train wreck that was Flashpoint: Legion of Doom, Adam Glass manages to deliver on this premise, though not in spectacular fashion. It is a solid first issue that introduces us to who we need to know and even gives us some reasons to be interested in a few of them.When it was first announced, I was really looking forward to Suicide Squad. The premise sounded like a great one for a villain team book. Then, I read an...

Don't Judge A Book By It's Slutty Cover 0
The Good: I actually find Harley's new costume to be good. And I'm not being misogynistic, it's just that this costume seems a little more modern. Her old one suddenly seems a bit bland by comparison. Harley's a wild psycho party girl, and this look suits her. But she's not a slut, and I genuinely don't find this look slutty. But she is a tease. Also, the costume in question is actually less skimpy than it looks on the cover. Apparently the cover artist decided to highlight this series with BOOB...

A DC comic for the Deadpool Generation 0
Adam Glass is not that high on my favorite writers list because he is not on it. Part of the reason is his narrative is not my style, he writes for Sadist, but not in a the normal way, Sadist that are masochistic to themselves, or what I call the Deadpool generation. Sure Deadpool has some interesting qualities to celebrate, but really the character harms creativity more then fertilizes it now a days. Adam Glass is just that, he is a Deadpool generation writer. If you like his work on Deadpo...

All or nothing. 1
Suicide Squad #1From what I can tell, so far, is that the writer picked low rate villains for this team and he picked HARLEY QUINN?! That's an insult to me because she is not low rate at all! So the basic idea for this issue is that the government has appointed several different villains from different walks of life to fight for their freedom. FIGHT EVIL FOR THEIR FREEDOM! The fights they get into are extremely dangerous, hence SUICIDE squad. So the danger they're in, in this issue is actually j...

Torturous Fun 0
This blog was originally posted on my review. Wait... I think I got that wrong... LOOK, HYPERLINK!Suicide Squad is a fun book. If I knew nothing else whilst reading it, I knew I was having a great time. It's far from the most "put-together" title I've read thus far in the DC "New 52", but writer Adam Glass here has put forth a title with interesting and fun characters put into absurd and unpleasant situations. It's just a shame that a handful of problems prevent this from being a perfect debut.T...

What just happened? 0
I love the art and style that this book aspires to. As a super villain team up comic this book is interesting. But I really didn't like the fact that the whole first issue was basically a psychological test in order to give exposition. I'm not against trying to find creative ways of explaining what came before. But I think this could have been handled better in a flashback rather than doing a whole issue on it. I certainly enjoyed the sense of danger, while it lasted, but I think many readers wo...

A great way to introduce the new Suicide Squad. 1
The Suicide SquadAlong with Supergirl, Suicide Squad is a very controversial book because of a female character's redesign. The character in question is of course Harley Quinn. I for one liked the sexed up version of her Arkham Asylum because I felt really made her her own character and made her stand out from The Joker.Actually an awesome costume for Harley QuinnAnyways, as it begins we find each member of the Suicide Squad captured and being tortured and showed what made them become members of...

Suicide Squad #1 - Kicked in the Teeth 0
Suicide Squad #1 - Kicked in the Teeth: Well TBs and hard core Suicide Squad fans I've just finish reading this issue , and must say that this is good read it's not like John Ostrander ( of which I have all of his Suicide Squad) or Gail Simmone , but no the less it has same feeling of being like The Dirty Dozen and the television series Mission: Impossible mix all together , so it's just like one big covert syp vs spy actoin pac read , so my hats is to Adam Glass and his efforts ( ...

Suicide Squad #1 - A Good Start 1
Most of the discussion surrounding suicide squad seems to have been centered around Harley's redesign, so I'll hit that first and say IT'S NOT THAT BAD. In the context of this book, her current look works totally fine. Now that that's over with, I'll go ahead and say that I have no prior experience with Suicide Squad or Secret Six or any of that stuff, so this is the perspective of somebody with absolutely no expectations.The Good1)This issue does a fine job of introducing who the squad is, what...

The Squad Is Chosen 0
The Story: Certain criminals were selected for an initiation test at a shot in becoming part of the Suicide Squad. My Thoughts:Adam Glass is a writer who I've had little experience with. I decided to give this series a shot based on its reputation and the fact Deadshot and Harley Quinn were on the team. I wasn't really expecting much and that could be why I ended up enjoying it more than I had ever thought I would. It's by no means one of the top series out of the new 52, but it is a fun read. ...

Terrible 0
As a giant fan of the Original 1987 Suicide Squad, (which is and was ahead of this time), i was expecting to go into this book having a good time, and enjoy myself, oh boy was i wrong. This comic sucks, it has no Substance, none of the Subtlety of the Original, Task Force X is portrayed less like a Military Operation, and more like Secret Six (a good book, but not what Suicide Squad is about), none of the characters are truly likeable except for one, and i don't know that much about him to care ...

A Suicide Squad az elmúlt pár évben a DC egyik visszatérő próbálkozása, de igazán a klassz csapat és a kellemes csipkelődő párbeszédek ellenére, eddig nem igazán sikerült sokáig futnia. De most, a New 52 égisze alatt, egy egész ütős sorozat erős közepes felütést olvashatjuk. A sorozat egy újraindulás, de sok elemében tükröződik a klasszikus Suicide Squad elemeit.A jóA füzet hangulata nagyon jól sikerült, de leginkább csak a tagok múltjába tekinthetünk be visszaemlékezéseiken keresztül, az igazi ...

A decent setup for the series which could've been so much more. 0
The main problem with this first issue is that nothing really happens; it's all setup. Writer Adam Glass reintroduces the team through an extended torture sequence which includes a few flashbacks and a "twist" ending that most readers will see coming a mile away. The enjoyment comes from the colorful artwork and the dark humor sprinkled throughout the issue. The gruesome violence displayed is a little over-the-top at times, but I guess that just goes with the territory. After all, this series is...
