My biggest regret? This adventure is now half over. I have a feeling that by the time May is over, Ill be feeling that way about quite a handful of these Convergence mini-series. And maybe thats the greatest meter of success DC has. Leaving us wanting more always more of something great is a whole lot better than asking, Isnt this over yet? With the film well on its way to becoming a reality, now is definitely the time to bring us more Suicide Squad like this, please. Read Full Review

By nature, these first issues are going to be setup heavy, but Frank Tieri uses this one to set up so much.  An awesome team, a formidable foe and two intriguing cliffhangers.  If you are a fan of the old Suicide Squad, the New Suicide Squad or anything in-between, I recommend you pick this issue up.

Tom Mandrake's grimy pencils complement Tieri's dark story, inking his own work with a thick and shadowy line to reflect the less-than-perfect nature of the team. Read Full Review

This issue of Suicide Squad had all the mystery and depth you could hope for in a Suicide Squad title, and its a step up from the recent run. I highly recommend this issue, and I cant wait to read more. Read Full Review

Despite being better than nearly anything from the most recent Suicide Squad titles, Convergence: Suicide Squad is far from perfect. Ultimately, the pros greatly outweigh the cons, making this issue a must-read for any fan of Amanda Waller and her team of degenerates! Read Full Review

It's easy to see why "Suicide Squad" was chosen for "Convergence." Not only is there a film coming out, but it's a concept that's well-beloved, especially for people starving for the original Squad that they loved to read about. Overall, so far, so good. A lot will depend on what happens next month with the conclusion but, at the moment, I'm pleasantly pleased with "Convergence: Suicide Squad" #1. It's a nice trip down memory lane. Read Full Review

Final ThoughtsThis was a very fun read. I felt like I was reading a book from the late 80's/early 90's. Frank Tieri's story was well executed. There was some mystery built in this issue with a helluva climax at the end. The art by Tom Mandrake and colors by Sian Mandrake really compliment the story being told. Together they created a fun tie-in to the Convergence story. I feel that this tie-in did a good job of mixing in the Convergence series along with a self contained story. Overall this comic book was well done and worth a read. Read Full Review

Heavy-handed art style drags down a good entry in the Convergence crossover. Read Full Review

Overall this book is hurt by its duties as the first issue in an event miniseries. Too much of its time is taken explaining itself to possible new readers brought on by the hype, and as such it makes for a boring, if necessary read. If the second issue can hit the ground running it may still make for an exciting miniseries, especially if the betrayal portion of the story is economically developed in the pages available to it.

The art has an interesting color palette and bold lines and shadows but there is something wrong with the perspective in some of the panels. Also, I was having trouble keeping track of the action and who was who in some of the parts of the story. When I have to look closely at the art for subtle clues as to what the heck is happening in the plot it detracts from my enjoyment of the story. Read Full Review

Some pleasant surprises have emerged from "Convergence" in its first two weeks, but this is not one of them. The elevator pitch behind this story is a slam dunk that's rendered completely inert by excessive exposition and uneven art. It's readable, but not much more. Read Full Review

It'd be a disservice to say that there's not much this comic does right, because the fact of the matter is that there's not much it does, period. It's all setup and no story. Read Full Review
