This is probably the only issue of any Suicide Squad that I will ever rate unless like this, it's crossing over with a series that I am currently reading. I'm definitely not a fan of the Suicide Squad in almost any iteration or team comp. All that being said, the writing here is fine but it's noticeably duller and less entertaining than Giffen and DeMatteis' dialogue and narration in JLI. The best parts were Waller and Lord's back and forth but those are two characters I find completely insufferable to read at any time and the Batman/Flag slugfest. At least it was entertaining and impressive to see Flag get beaten like that and still manage to hold his own. Unfortunately the omnibus I am reading this from recolored the issue and well as attempted the clean up some of the lines and completely butchered it. There is some great art and coloring in the original that I would absolutely recommend reading that version if at all possible. If I happen to come across another issue of this by the same team and it's any better, they might convince me to try it out. This team though, wasn't too impressed with and it just seemed like a one off story. more

Ostrander's Suicide Squad is great, don't be cringe

Not trying to dog on Ostrander. I reread it today and it read better than before but I think that's because I wasn't reading in conjunction with the omnibus I had been. Getting through the whole thing definitely made me want to try a little more of it out.
