    The issue is gripping enough, though it doesn't exactly tread new ground for the characters in question. Still, Glass does a good job giving you a completely batty Harley, yet one who somehow retains a bit of charm. Read Full Review

    The art is definitely improved in this short arc. Clayton Henry and Ig Guara ditch the pseudo realistic approach of previous chapters and deliver something more dynamic and traditionally superhero-esque. It would be nice to see Henry stick around for the long haul, but he seems to be the wandering nomad of the comics scene. Read Full Review

    "Suicide Squad" is certainly a bloodthirsty and violent book, but provided you don't mind that, it's also entertaining. Glass and company have brought a fun and dangerous romp through the DC Universe each month and this issue is no exception to that rule. Read Full Review

    I'm still enjoying the series, no doubt, but this is the weakest issue thus far. Read Full Review

    The book seems to be unraveling faster than the team of fictional hired guns in the story. With the constant rotation of characters, no-one-is-safe approach, fan favorites like Deadshot and Harley and the deadly cliffhanger might be enough to keep some readers coming back, the longevity of this book and the impact it has on the greater DCU is questionable.

    Multiversity Comics - Brian Salvatore Mar 15, 2012

    Speaking of her origin, it is basically the same as her pre-'Flashpoint' origin, except that now the Joker dumped her into a vat of chemicals as well which is, undoubtedly, a much stupider origin. There was enough of a connection to the Joker to begin with, we don't need parallel origins to get the point across. So, no makeup for this Harley, that is just how she looks. Or looked. Or will look in a casket. Or whatever. Read Full Review

    Artwork alone can't drive an issue or a series, however, and this title is in serious need of a new writer and editorial team."" Read Full Review
