This is a wild ride you should not miss. DC is putting out a fun, action packed, and compelling Suicide Squad book that movie fans should love. Read Full Review

Only one detail sounds believable to her, and its the one detail that harmonizes with the established origin of the character. Seeing the very young Digger Harkness sitting in the dusty street of his small outback town, carving boomerangs and hoping his missing father will one day come back. Reis makes this panel just heart breaking. Too much of it would have made the story sappy, but as it is, its the perfect note to contrast with the rest of the tale. Read Full Review

This has been a title that's certainly hit the ground running. It reads exactly like DC's Dirty Dozen by way of Expendables as intended. And so far it's been immensely entertaining. Read Full Review

VerdictMy friends and I are having a bet on how long Jim Lee will last on this book. I give him six issues tops, but they say less. The point is, enjoy this story while you can. DC is giving a Suicide Squad a huge push, and judging by the shocking cliffhanger, they're doubling down. This is DC's best team book Post Rebirth, so I highly recommend picking up this issue as well as issue #1. Read Full Review

Recommendation – Buy! I'm having fun with all the DC Rebirth titles so far, but this is the first comic that I want to read. The dynamic between all the characters is fantastic, and the backup stories have been giving me some nice character moments. Read Full Review

Beyond this, Williams and Ivan Reis in the Boomerang story do even better work than in Deadshot's one-shot last time, depicting the comical Aussie Captain as a man of wish fulfillment and fantasy (which allows them to wonderfully pastiche James Bond along the way) while touching on real undercurrents of pathos. Much like the rest of the issue, it's great, and Suicide Squad right now–simply–is the DC Rebirth comic to beat. Read Full Review

After a slow but promising start, the new Suicide Squad comic is beginning to realize its full potential. This issue offers a better glimpse of the new team in action and ends with a terrific twist. It also boasts some great artwork from two superstar artists and a backup story that provides a heartfelt look at a Suicide Squad mainstay. Hopefully this issue is indicative of what readers can expect from the series as a whole. Read Full Review

Saying they are screwed may be an understatement by the end of this issue. ‘The Black Vault' part 2 cranked the dial to 10 with Suicide Squad #2 and quickly making this a must read. It was a fast read, but there was so much to take in and awe at both through the story and art. Read Full Review

Whatever negative thoughts you had about Suicide Squad coming into this issue, go ahead and just throw it out the window. It doesn't matter anymore! Maybe Williams and Lee knew they'd have to deliver a game changer at this moment because of their story structure, or maybe this issue really is a natural result of story progression" Either way, Suicide Squad #2 delivers in ways I never expected it would! Buckle up kids. This book is a crazy, wild ride! Read Full Review

If you missed issue #1, thats okay. Read PCUs review of it and pick this one up. Its very welcoming for those who saw the movie and would like to get into the comic book frenzy without having to delve into the DC archives. The story is taking a fun direction that Id be curious to follow. Read Full Review

On the whole, though, this is an intense, must read issue for fans of the series. It takes some hugely unexpected turns, but I think it pulls them off. While the first issue was interesting, the second definitely hits its stride, cementing this as a series where virtually anything can happen at any time. Read Full Review

Rob Williams continues his impressive run with a thoroughly entertaining issue and Jim Lee’s art remains some of the best in the industry. This issue also includes a backup story focusing on a single member of the squad, exploring their personality, motivations, and how it was that they came to be a member of Task Force X. If the first two issues are anything to go off of, these backups are the deserts in an action packed meal. They allow Rob Williams to explore the depths of these characters without slowing down or getting in the way of the main story, which continues to be one of the most exciting offerings DC is currently putting out. Although it may be too early to declare this to be one of the successes of DC’s Rebirth, Suicide Squad is definitely a title that will leave you entertained and clamoring for the next issue. Pick this issue up today and you will not be disappointed. Read Full Review

Another fun bunch of circumstances involving our favorite team doing what they do best (slaughtering, making quips) is marred by some clunky dialogue. The villain reveal at the end, though, is harrowing. The back-up is really engaging and features Ivan Reis stepping out of the typical super muscles stuff we're used to. Worth checking out if only to see Killer Croc puke again. Read Full Review

Whilst it's nothing incredibly special, it still does a good job utilising the characters that it had. Read Full Review

This is a nice follow-up to the awesome first issue and I had a lot of fun reading it. The Deadshot/Manticore and Tiger/Ravan fights are particularly entertaining. Boomerang has great moments such as sex references, to completely owning an opponent, to letting his own team member die; and super friggin' annoying moments such as a boatload of his usual nonsense jibba jabber. But I wish they had stretched things out a bit for another issue because it does feel rushed. Read Full Review

Suicide Squad #2 does not offer much in the way of new developments that even casual readers of the DCU aren't aware of. It's a generic Suicide Squad affair and rather ho-hum after the first few pages: a main character gets killed, a villain appears in the last frame and spouts the same groan-inducing dialogue we've all read at least 30 times before. Other than the Harley Quinn/Katana action scene (with help from Captain Boomerang), the standout of the issue was the Captain Boomerang back story. If you are a fan of Captain Boomerang (I found him to be the most entertaining of the Squad) and James Bond, then you will love the character introspective. If you are a fan of the series then keep it in your pull box for a while longer, as the series shows promise, but it has not lived up to the hype yet. Read Full Review

Three issues in, Suicide Squad's biggest crime might simply be that it hasn't really done anything new yet. The additions to the team could result in that, but the series has been hindered by the unfortunate combo of being decompressed and not having a full issue to tell a story. There's a reason that John Ostrander's run is revered so long after it was first published, but almost everyone that's been on the book this decade has tried to be Ostrander, but with less of an edge. If Williams' reveal had been at the end of the first issue, I could see myself sticking around and wondering where it goes, but at this point, readers might be forgiven if they've already lost interest.

I never, in all my days, thoughts Id give a Jim Lee/Rob Williams team-up this low a score. I hate myself a little, but… Read Full Review

Lee's pencils aren't as sharp as they used to be but this comic is not half bad.

little slow but still good

Unlike most rebirth titles has very good art.

I have never been that big of a fan of Suicide Squad, but have always loved Rob Williams' work. I think he does Harley, Boomerang, and the team dynamic really well. In addition, I think that his backup stories are just as impactful as his main storyline.

The ending is strong

Main story: 5/10

Back up: 6.5/10
