Resurrection Deadshot and Resurrection Quinn
Ken Lashley's art is really cool, but he should not be allowed to draw covers. Nearly every cover he draws is extremely messy and crowded. But I guess it matches Henrik Jonsson's really messy interior artwork... I just wasn't feeling it, faces were really off, and the whole issue just looked really slapped together and lazy. And more than once Harley Quinn looked like a transvestite.
This cover seems like a big spoiler, but this issue opens up with Deadshot waking up, surprised to be alive, and from there it relies on the mystery of Deadshot's resurrection, as well as the healing of several characters' major injuries, still being a mystery to the reader and the characters. It's not, and yet 2 issues after the actual events, the recap picks up where #13 left off, with the apparent deaths of Deadshot and Regulus, and we know know it was all for nought because 'they couldn't find a body' which is comic lingo for 'we all know he's alive but every character will be surprised except maybe Batman.' We do get to see a pretty badass brawl between Harley Quinn and Grey Lora, but otherwise this flashback was completely unnecessary. But Adam Glass seems REALLY determined to make us wonder how Deadshot survived, when everyone who's caught up with the series should know right away that it's because of technology obtained from Resurrection Man's arm. And seriously, none of the team members suspect his survival is due to THAT MISSION WHERE THEY HAD TO CATCH A CONTINUOUSLY HEALING MAN!? Oh and Amanda continues to demonstrate actual human qualities like empathy and compassionate regret AND THAT'S TERRIBLE FOR HER. And Harley's new relationship with Deadshot is.... still weird.
In Conclusion: 2.5/5
Harley Quinn's badass fight with Grey Lora was admittedly really awesome, but the rest of this issue was only mediocre. The attempted misdirection in the plot is completely meaningless to anyone paying attention.
