Suicide Squad #1 W: Adam Glass Art: Federico Dallocchio/Ransom Getty/Scott Hanna
Different
Universe, same Suicide Squad. Supervillains get let out of jail in
return for pulling off covert missions as part of Task Force X, the
catch being that it's unlikely they'll all make it. This can be kind of
predictable, as it's usually the small-time villains you've never heard
of that buy the farm, but whatevs.
This is an establishing book,
with a bit of history on Task Force X and a bit of history of the
current members, but this is a blast from start to finish. Members in #1
are Deadshot, Harley Quinn, King Shark, Black Spider, el Diablo,
Voltaic and Savant and guess what? Not all of them get to the end of the
issue, where we get a brief Amanda Waller cameo (boy, has she been
working out in the Johns Universe...) and the next mission, which looks
like a doozy.
But putting all that aside, FUN FUN FUN
King Shark is the best thing about this issue by a country mile.
And I defy anyone not to love the contrast between him and everybody else here.
Welcome back. I've missed you not being about.
Aldo's winner of the week. Guaranteed to contain no Sadface.
