Kinda not as bad as I thought it would be but very safe...and very commercial.World: The art is fine, it's what you expect from this event, the tie ins are not consistent (that last shot of Waller in Squad 9 looks wrong...). The world building is okay, it's consistent with the world but that being said the world at this moment doesn't really make much sense. Task Force X was always a stretch for me in a world where the Trinity are around, there's no way Bats would be okay with it, but oh well I

Spinning out of Batman, Volume 2: I Am Suicide, Batman has become aware of the Suicide Squad's existence and tasks the Justice League with taking them down. The JL should be able to take out the SS in about 3 seconds and the story is written to reflect that. The SS basically wants to run away until Waller forces them to fight. There are some great one liners here. After the battle, we get our obligatory team-up to fight a larger threat. (view spoiler)[Max Lord has freed the original Suicide Squa...

4 Stars because of the beautiful edition this comic had. The story was a bit cliche to be honest, two groups meet, fight each other, then become allies against a bigger threat and then one of the groups is mentally controlled and they fight again.The character of Killer Frost was one of the best things in this comic, as was the relationship between Wonder Woman and Harley Queen.

So, this was surprisingly not awful.You're going to have to overlook the fact that the whole FIGHT! between the JL and the SS was laughable, though. I mean, come on.Justice League = beings with god-like powersSuicide Squad = a guy who shoots well and a psychotic with a malletMy personal favorites were the Wonder Woman vs Harley Quinn panels. I'm just wondering what kind of pep talks Williamson had to give himself to write scenes in which Diana was even remotely breaking a sweat to catch up with

** Received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review **3 stars *** There are spoilers ahead!!! ***Isn’t this a little one-sided? That dude just has boomerangs.This is a ridiculous plot.I mean, you pretty much can’t go into this without shoving that fact aside and pretending that there’s a real fight here. There’s a solar powered alien with laser eyes, an Amazon, the king of Atlantis and the fastest man alive – against a team made up of a life-size crocodile, a crazed clown with a mallet a...

I received an eARC of this title from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.Now, that's what I'm talking about! Lots of kick-ass badassery and fights and attitude. Justice League vs Suicide Squad, vs another group of baddies that was pretty fun too...And a special appearance by (view spoiler)[The Main Main, Lobo himself! and not that New-52 sorry excuse, but the real Last Czarnian, aka Master Frag. (hide spoiler)]Lots of fun with lots of little quips from heroes and a

Connect the dots with DC comics!Two and a half starsWith the DC foreshadowing machine in full gear, the reader can pretty much predict how this story is going to go after reading a few pages.The ingredients (or the usual tired beats):Amanda Waller, schemer, who has a scheme.Huh?Batman, the grease in the janky plot.Careful, he bites.Harley Quinn, because “fan service” for the fan boys.JLA vs Suicide Squad – heroes vs. quasi-heroes who want to keep their heads from getting blown up.JLA pals around...

This was so much fun! I'll do a mini review this week. FYI: You can totally read this comic book without having read any of the other ones.

Now THIS is how you do a crossover event; it was so well done, actually had a good story and all the characters were in character!!! I must admit I feel as though it all escalated a little quickly and seemed to be easily resolved in the end but it is still an extremely strong event for DC!

"Do you ever wonder why evil always returns? Because it never leaves."- real words that got written by a team of hacks that don't know the definition of the word return.A superhero fight is the easiest story to write. You come up with some reason for them to fight, like different ideology, and then you find a reason for them to stop before any real consequences happen. (We missed a real chance for this series to reveal Killer Croc's mother's name as Martha!)Somehow a team of people who are paid

A good book. Not quite as great as I expected/wanted to to be. I think where this book faltered slightly was i would have liked more interaction between the Justice League, and the Suicide Squad.The great thing about HC is all 11 issues are here. 6 issues of the mini series, then 3 issues of the Suicide Squad series which are the prologue, origin, and epilogue, and 2 issues of the Justice League series to fill in some gaps.In the last Batman series he became aware of the Suicide Squad. He plans

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this story. It had all the hallmarks of an epic DC cockup, but to my surprise, it was excellent.It starts out with the Justice League deciding to do something about the Suicide Squad. The story then goes from this confrontation to a much larger story involving Max Lord and some older SS rejects and a shard of the Eclipso diamond. From there this story expands into an Ecilpso controlled JL fighting against the Suicide Squad. No more spoilers though.The...

'Justice League vs. Suicide Squad' is a big 312 story with 3 different writers, more artists and spanning a few series. If you can suspend your belief that the Suicide Squad would even have a chance against the Justice League, then it's not so bad.Task Force X (aka Suicide Squad) has been discovered. Not only that, but Amanda Waller's past mistakes are about to be exposed. At first, the Suicide Squad faces off against the Justice League, but before long, they are teaming up against a threat, and...

This shouldn’t really be a thing. I mean, forget the Justice League, Superman alone could take out the Suicide Squad! In fact, any one member of the League could do it - Wonder Woman, Flash, Batman (most of the SS are Batman rogues anyway). The Green Lantern rings are among the most powerful weapons in the DCU! So yeah, the premise is significantly flawed to begin with. But don’t worry because hack writer Joshua Williamson compounds this garbage with contrivance: apparently the Justice League h...

As a Harley Quinn fan I don't follow Justice League (JL); but of course follow Suicide Squad (SS). I was very excited to see my beloved villains/anti-heroes go head-to-head with the righteously annoying JL. Sadly that is not exactly what I got here. While we get some fighting between the two groups; mostly the story centers around a totally different group that is causing trouble for everyone. PlotWhat is most interesting in this large story (each comic had an extended page count in this collect...

A very good event! So I guess this is DCs first big event since rebirth, (except for a few small Batman events), and its very good! So the story has The Justice League finding out about The Suicide Squad, so they do the hero thing, and decide to go stop them, meanwhile Maxwell Lord frees a bunch of villains from Amanda Waller's original Suicide Squad glory team, and they now wanna kill Amanda Waller! The Story is not the greatest I've read, but it does make for a pretty strong event! Its also hi...

Since I haven't really kept up with the Suicide Squad since the John Ostrander days and JLA since before Flashpoint, Rebirth, etc., I figured why not read a mini that was done to cash in on the Suicide Squad movie (which I didn't dislike as much as I thought I would). There are some things that Williamson did with the characters that I did like. I think he pretty much gets Amanda Waller and he does OK with the JLA big guns. Of the squad characters I think he gets the characters notes right on De...

Originally Reviewed at Bookwraiths.Suicide Squad vs. Justice League is a book which doesn’t seem to really know what it wants to be. Is it about Suicide Squad and the Justice League clashing, or is it really about Amanda Waller’s diabolic schemes? Is Killer Frost the star, or is it Harley? I mean, the book just seems confused about its identity. And so while it isn’t bad really, it isn’t as good as it could/should have been either. A lot of untapped potential is how I’d put it.The story starts w...

[Read as single issues]The first big event of the DC Rebirth era pits the two most popular teams in the DCU at the moment against each other as the Justice League face off against the Suicide Squad, only to find that there's actually a bigger threat that needs to be dealt with, because Amanda Waller is good at keeping secrets and bad at keeping prisoners in prison. Nice one, Amanda.Joshua Williamson writes the entirety of this mini-series, and it's very solid throughout. The progression from bea...

Justice League vs. Suicide Squad offers pretty much exactly what you would expect from the title. Two teams fighting, while a diabolical third party operates behind the scenes manipulating everyone toward a crazy global threat. It's a pretty standard superhero team versus superhero villain/anti-hero team book, and Jason Fabok's artwork sure is pretty (even in the low-res digital review copy I read). The biggest flaw here is that Maxwell Lord, a telepath with chronic nosebleeds, is a pretty borin...
