    Violence, At a Peak 1

    Suicide Squad #2 - When the Levee Breaks by starkiller809 on October 12, 2011

    Last issue of Suicide Squad was a good one. There was a few flaws, but does this issue fix and add onto this new Suicide Squad series?  THE GOOD: I don't mind the art. The story is okay. We get to see the team in a stadium to kill a bunch of people. We also get to see a bit more of what some of these characters can do. I like the conflict going on between all of the characters and I think that this is going to make for fun stories latter on. I also like how tricky Deadshot is. He told one of his...

    Suicide Squad #2 - When the Levee Breaks by razzatazz on October 13, 2011

    This issue is not bad, it just could have a been better in parts.  The main problem here is the scripting, the story heads off into different directions, some of which are good some of which are pointless.  The main plot with Deadshot and Voltaic is pretty well held together, but when Black Spider and Harley head off on their own, he brings up a point which I as the reader also had, that being of why exactly is Harley here.  She is of course a dangerous person but on this team all she has done t...

    Suicide Squad #2 - When the Levee Breaks by djotaku on October 13, 2011

    I'm going to drop the bomb right away - this issue convinced me that I should drop Suicide Squad from my pull list.Why? There were a few reasons, let me enumerate in no particular order:I hate the dialog. It seems off. Also, it seems like they're trying too hard to be cool. I literally cringed when I read "BOOM! HEADSHOT!"Harley's personality sucks. I don't know if she's meant to be like Joker now, always changing her personality, but this depiction feels way off. And coming off of Gotham City S...

    Suicide Squad #2 - When the Levee Breaks by blurred_view on October 13, 2011

    While not bad, Suicide Squad continues to not be great either as Adam Glass' ideas appear to be better than his ability to actually write them. This is an issue, and so far a series, where the premise is pretty good but both the writing and the art fail to really fail to elevate it in any substantial way.The plot of the issue is basically the Suicide Squad fighting a horde of techno-organic zombies, and that works well for what it needs to do, which is to provide a steady stream of action that a...

    The Team Lead By Amanda Er 1

    Suicide Squad #2 - When the Levee Breaks by the_mighty_monarch on October 13, 2011

    The Good: Just like how Harley was the main focus of the last cover and probably the best spotlighted, Deadshot subtly takes control of the cover as he more directly takes command of the team and this issue. Deadshot's inner monologue is pretty good as we see him analyze this scene from his cold distant perspective. ONE of the 2 artist on this series is fantastic. I love all the pages done by them. Black Spider's really grown on me, he's a surprisingly fun character to read, and his costume is a...

    Suicide Squad #2 - When the Levee Breaks by durakken on October 13, 2011

    Better than the previous issue, but still off.Harley, while still a shallow imitation of what she was, the overall story was good and did more to introduce the characters than #1. This issue sets up who the suicide squad is, how they work, and gives you a good insight into how they work together. If they were to flip the issues around and call the previous issue a flashback it would have made it so much better.The biggest problem, outside of Harley, with this issue is that the teaser text at the...

    Suicide Squad #2 - When the Levee Breaks by cambot3000 on October 14, 2011

    I've always loved the premise of Suicide Squad--a group of hard-luck villains being given an extremely deadly shot at redemption just overflows with great writing possibilities. When the first issue ended with the new team being dropped out of a plane and told to kill everyone in a football stadium, I was looking forward to seeing how this incarnation of the Squad would develop in the face of Amanda Waller's ridiculous orders.What a difference a month makes. The second issue of Suicide Squad is ...

    Another great cover and the issue... 0

    Suicide Squad #2 - When the Levee Breaks by graphiccasualfreak on October 14, 2011

    Ryan Benjamin has drawn an excellent cover. The actual issue is pretty good. Better than #1. You get some nice conversations between the villains. But Adam Glass is still under the assumption that we, as readers, feel sorry for these folks. I'm not entirely sure there would ever be a case where I would feel sorry for Deadshot... What is the message of this series,"There is no greater evil than the government?"I dunno, but this series needs a real direction. It reminds me of some of the old Marve...

    Suicide Squad #2 - When the Levee Breaks by sharkey on October 20, 2011

    SynopsisThe Suicide Squad against a stadium full of techno-zombies! Will they retrieve "the package" and survive?The GoodWe get to see the supervillains work as a team. I say work together, but there is a lot of arguments, threats against each other's lives etc. They quite clearly don't care about each other, just the job. The character's individual personalities are starting to come out now, we have a remorseless assassin, a childish whackjob, an animalistic killer, an out-of-place anti-hero an...

    Suicide Squad #2 - When the Levee Breaks by gordo789 on October 20, 2011

    So we're on issue two of suicide squad now, and if you didn't like the first issue, you probably will still not like this one. However, if you did like the first one, this one continues to deliver the same kind of wacky faced paced story telling you got from the first one.The Good1) Like the first issue, it seems as though you have complete resolution packed neatly within one issue. this one has a beginning, middle and end that work well enough on their own as a self contained story, but still m...

    Not Exactly a Touchdown 0

    Suicide Squad #2 - When the Levee Breaks by halfshellhero on October 29, 2011

    This might just be my personal tastes, but I have always liked the darker heroes and am always intrigued when heroes take lives. This team is much like Marvel's current Thunderbolts team, but more black ops. Not only does the team comprise convicted criminals, it also tries it's best to keep the team out of sight. The premise of this book seems exciting to me. The execution however falls short of what could be spectacular.This particular issue puts our "heroes" in a live field mission. The missi...

    Suicide Squad #2 - When the Levee Breaks by shawn87 on November 07, 2011

    The Story: The Suicide Squad is sent on their first mission to retrieve something from a football stadium. My Thoughts:I quite enjoyed the first issue far more than I had anticipated so I was sort of looking forward to reading this second issue to see what would happen on the teams first mission. Adam Glass does a good enough job once again and while some of the stuff within this comic might seem a little crazy, somehow it works.  We see the team in the field together for the first time and it d...

    Why is it named after a classic Led Zeppelin song? 0

    Suicide Squad #2 - When the Levee Breaks by generalzod_007 on July 26, 2015

    Issue # 2 is entitled "When the Levee Breaks" and yet contains no reference to Led Zeppelin, what's up with that? Writer Adam Glass follows up his darkly violent premiere issue with the Suicide Squad's first assignment; taking on a horde of cyborg zombies. If that comes across as rather silly to you, than know that it is, but Glass seems to be in on the joke since the whole thing is rather tongue-in-cheek. While the first issue was dark in its tone, this one comes across as campy, while still co...
