Sometimes less is more, so I won't say much" Go read this book! If you're behind catch up. You can thank me later! Read Full Review

This is indeed a return to form. Amazing writing combined with phenominal art (other than one weirdly drawn Boomerang head) makes for a comic that Im glad I paid full price for. Thanks for shooting the breeze with me. Read Full Review

This was a fantastic kickoff and a great jumping on point for readers. And that final page definitely shows the Squad is in for some major changes. Read Full Review

As a whole this issue is well put together, popcorn worthy , beautifully written, drawn and executed. The issue provided a level of intensity that reminded me why I sometimes have real feelings about imaginary characters. The entire team deserves a round of applause for their efforts and talent. I'm looking forward to seeing how Waller's current plan plays out and how Luthor and her newly aquired, possible, Squad member, handles being on one of her leashes. No matter what happens next, I'm sure that Williams will bring the same heat and intensity he has been giving us from the beginning and ,that means that what's to come is going to be nothing short of pure fire.

A fun, team-focused issue with a compelling battle of words between Lex Luthor and Waller. Read Full Review

You may call this mission anti-climatic, but Suicide Squad #16 delivered everything exciting about this team with all the things you just don't see coming. We jump into 'Earthlings on Fire' with the same team, different problems, and some interesting interactions that you definitely want to see explored more. Read Full Review

At long last, Suicide Squad is moving away from the choppy structure of previous arcs and focusing on telling one story per issue. The book's pacing improves immediately and significantly as Rob Williams and new artist Tony Daniel explore a clash between Amanda Waller and Lex Luthor. Read Full Review

With strong art and a great ending, Suicide Squad gets out of the rut it's been in for the past few months and tells a fun, simple story starring Lex Luthor. Read Full Review

Will Amanda Waller and Lex Luthor cancel out each other's smug evasiveness? You'll have to read to find out, and you might enjoy what you find. I know you're going to dig the artwork and plotting, expertly handled (for once) by Tony S. Daniel. Feels like a Rebirth to me. Read Full Review

So I haven't been reading Suicide Squad consistently up until this point. And I absolutely loved this issue. There was a lot of fun hijinks with the Suicide Squad that provided some comedic relief. We got Lex Luthor showing his true colors, which was really nice. And the big reveal was amazing and made me excited for future issues. I'm definitely hanging out with Task-Force X for a little while to see what happens! Read Full Review

Right from the start, the quality of the writing on this title has been consistently high. There are always surprises and twists aplenty to engage the audience. Comics, though, are generally viewed as a marriage between writer and artist and supposed to give asum greater than its individual parts. In my humble opinion,the level of the artwork in this instance has not matched the standard of the writing, so I'm sad to only award this issue: Read Full Review

While this book still hasn't quite hit it's stride, it still has potential, and the characters are still the driving force. Read Full Review

I love good lex

SCORE: 8.2

Magical demonic computer virus?... Really?... That last line though.

A solid piece setting future stories into place. Waller and the Squad must obtain something from Lex Luthor in order to advance Waller's agenda.

Williams continues to do an outstanding job writing. He brings out a varied group of characters, each with their own agenda. The issue is well plotted, written without the convoluted mess the versus arc brought.

This is controversial, but I missed JRJR. Daniels is competent and has a tighter style. Still, Romita's strengths fit into a role modern artists don't always succeed at. The back grounds are generic and the figures appear stiff at times. While I believe Daniel's was a better choice for this issue because of the increased number of conversation scenes, I worry what will happen when the book moves back to action.

Overall, SS #16 confirms DC's commitment to the series. Hopefully that will continue. more
