Task Force Xs mission to destroy a cartel trafficking in super-drugs has completely unraveled, leaving the critically wounded Deadshot with only one person he can to turn. But newly minted field agent Amanda Waller couldnt care if he lives or dies, especially since shes closing in on the hidden truth behind the Squads recent activities.
New Suicide Squad #15 gets into some deep stuff. This has sometimes been looked at as a series with a lot of style over substance, but right now they are showing this series can go the distance with substance to that story and art as well. Read Full Review
Providing a great commentary on the current mindset of a majority of Americans, Ryan delivers one of his best moments yet. This book is still far from where it should be though, and the rest of this book is still average at best. Read Full Review
Overall, I liked this issue and since I have not been following the series up until now, I will say that I will be checking in now to see the conclusion of this arc. Knowing that Seeley will be coming onto the book soon also keeps me interested in the near future of this series. Read Full Review
This is an okay issue. There's some interesting social commentary and I like the character development with Harley but much of the issue is fairly dull. And if you're looking for the Suicide Squad, they don't do much in this issue. Most of it is Waller interrogating Pesta. It works but it's not the most exciting read. Read Full Review
Mostly, it's a typical Sean Ryan Suicide Squad issue. My only real issue was some clumsy handling of Harley's characterization, but that was balanced by some decent Capt. Boomerang development, then suddenly we get two pages of social commentary out of nowhere. You could remove those two pages and the story would still be coherent (at least by current Suicide Squad standards) and the quality of writing is a level above Ryan's usual, which almost makes me feel like it was written by somebody else. I don't remember ever seeing quite such a stark anomaly in the middle of an issue with no explanation at all, but I'm glad it happened.
