Assembled by the tough-as-nails intelligence expert Amanda Waller and overseen by disgraced military genius Captain Rick Flag, the men, women and monsters of the Suicide Squad-a.k.a. Task Force X-do the jobs that are too dirty for any superheroes to soil their capes with.
 
Their latest mission should be easy enough: recover a powerful cosmic weapon called the Black Vault from enemy hands.

    Okay, so this is my very first time buying a suicide squad book and, admittedly, I really didn't know what to expect. But since I've started reading comics again after a nearly 10 year hiatus (I just couldn't get into the new 52), I figured it would be nice to see what leads up to the current storylines.

    I'd say that this book is a solid read but the art was a little too inconsistent for me. In particular, the proportions were really off in many of the fight scenes and the issue didn't really resolve itself as issues went on. I understand that the book is still finding it's footing at this point but I'm really hoping that it gets better in future trades.

    One major complaint I have about this book, however, is that a third of it is filled with variant covers and other filler material. If I had paid full price for trade, I would not have been a happy camper.
