(B+) 77% | GoodNotes: Bloodstained and brassy, it’s repetitive: like plot-themed levels of a side-scrolling beat-'em-up. Junk food for the soul.
I love Harley, but girl can't carry a team book by herself. Everyone else, especially Waller, can take a bullet. Team books are difficult. Team books with all bad guys are even worse. You either need to make them fake the buddy-buddy, or go all out. This one mostly treats them as bad guys expect when it matters. That scientist who gets off the helicopter and uses his ipad to not turn off their implants, but extend the times? He'd be dead and that ipad in one of their hands before he knew what ha...
3.5🌟It wss good but didn't connect very well. Deadshot is brutal and Harley is sinister but I just felt the stories didn't flow.
3.5Harley Quinn was the best thing about this.
Hmmm. A group of supervillains, forced to work together with the promise of reduced prison sentences for succeeding and death for failing. Lots of strife, backstabbing, mega violence and humor, of course. Those were well done. And I'm always happy for more Harley Quinn. But I think it did her a disservice. She's supposed to be hyper intelligent, not just insane. And she pulls off some incredibly big moves, but it's all glossed over in favor of more "look at this insane T&A!" I think they could h...
Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/I put myself on the ol’ wait list for this about eleven thousand years ago and my turn finally came around. Now I sorta wish it hadn’t (*sad face*). To anyone who is seeing this due to the new site features that show you strangers rather than your friends, allow me to give you a teensie bit of backstory regarding me: While I’ve read a handful of “pitcherbooks” I am most definitely not anyone who claims to know anything about the world
This was my introduction to most of the characters of the Suicide Squad and the general premise which I read to prepare for the (somewhat disappointing) live-action movie version. In the movie, I felt that the casting of Will Smith as Deadshot was OK but that he hogged too much of the screen and did not allow the read star of the comic, Harley Quinn enough space to demonstrate her humour and insanity. The comic is a fun romp that gives the backstory and a few adventures and kept my attention cov...
I thought Suicide Squad would have a better plot than this. It was quite simple and straightforward. No twists here and there, nothing to make you jump up your seat. The only thing that I liked would be Harley Quinn. Honestly she's one of the main reasons why I read this in the first place. Aside from the fact that the 2016 movie is not that soon approaching. Harley Quinn is one of my favorite villains ever, in the DC universe. She has this crazy but hot chick vibe in her that I really like. I e...
“Suicide Squad” is like Marvel’s “Thunderbolts”, a team of baddies who’re put together and sent on dangerous missions. They even share similar plot points such as nanite bombs implanted inside each team member set to detonate unless they do what they’re told. There’s also a Hydra-like organisation included, calling themselves Basilisk, saluting and shouting “Hail Basilisk”, ready to kill themselves at a moment’s notice.I recognised a couple of squad members, the Joker’s squeeze Harley Quinn (alo...
( 3.7 STARS )From beginning to end, this was a pretty insane read! The action, the gore, the characters all made this really exciting and entertaining... But I kind of felt like it was missing something.I loved the members of the squad however I felt as thought I didn't really know any of them?! They all felt distant, even characters, such as Harley, who I already know and love seemed empty. There was very little attempt to make the reader attached to the characters which was a real shame. I gue...
Interesting. I wonder where they are going with this?
Man, the first three pages? Awesome - stylish, minimalist, I got the feeling the writer really know how to expect more from his audience.Then we get (a) super-dumb exposition to introduce everyone and their power set/trademark (like most New52 books seem to be doing - hitting you over the head as if you've never read a superhero book before), (b) obligatory junior-grade fake-out, and (c) edgy first mission that turns out to be just weepy-angsty.The only character who's not a caricature or stereo...
There is something absurdly appealing about this series to me. I guess it's because it's so crazy and out there. A team of super-villains is selected from the population of Belle Reve, a maximum security prison in the middle of the Louisiana swampland designed to house dangerous meta-human criminals. the only ones selected for the team are the ones who survived vicious torture without breaking. They have nanite bombs implanted that will blow their heads off if they don't come back to the prison
I bought Suicide Squad, vol. 1 when traveling in Taipei, and I totally love it.The artwork is so damn awesome, the story is fast-paced, finely plotted and entertaining, the main characters are (mostly) charming and they are all vivid characters, the action scenes are brutal. What more can I ask for?I wish I could read vol. 2 ASAP, what a shame that I didn't buy it along with vol. 1.PS: I totally want more of Deadshot/Harley Quinn in the next volume! Although Joker/Harley Quinn is hot too! *fangi...
