"HACKED" part one! A foe who knows the Squad's weaknesses and secrets returns with a resurrected Hack! Now they're going to break into Belle Reve to take revenge on her former teammates.
Even if you haven't been reading Suicide Squad, this issue is enough to pull you in and get you hooked, leaving you wondering just how bad things are going to get for the Suicide Squad and Waller and judging on the laste few panels for the issue? Read Full Review
Had the cover been done by a decent human being, I would highly recommend this issue. If you have no problems with Nazis, go for it. But if you do, perhaps you could spend your money better. Read Full Review
So far, this new story arc has all the makings of becoming one of the better stories told in this volume. Suicide Squad #35 came guns blazing from the very start, and that is the kind of intensity you expect from this book. Above I was talking about how each arc begins by shaking thing up, but this was just flipping the whole damn table. Read Full Review
With Amanda Waller falling apart along with the Squad itself, things are looking grim. As a fan, it's exactly what I want in a Suicide Squad issue. There's a great moment towards the end of this issue that left me wanting more. The over-arching theme of being destroyed from the inside due to secrecy fits within the narrative perfectly. It will be interesting to see where Williams takes Task Force X moving forward. In a way, Suicide Squad seems to have become a commentary on the dangers of deception. While Amanda Waller uses deception and secrecy as a mask, the members of the Squad have nothing to lose and therefore do not need to hide. They may be the only ones that can save the Suicide Squad initiative as Waller's mask begins to slip away. Read Full Review
Overall, a fantastic issue with much room to grow. Read Full Review

While it's nothing to write home about, this issue has just enough to keep you interested to make you wonder where it will go next. Read Full Review
This issue was a case of solicitations and the cover spoiling the big reveal. Williams ends the issue with what could have been a dramatic twist if it wasn't ruined from the cover. In the end that lack of suspense, killed a lot of the drama and made for a decent, but hardly essential read feeling more like the prologue than the start of the next big arc. Read Full Review
Despite the plot, the artwork was pretty decent. Croc looked absolutely feral (which is more true than not), and Hack looked pretty fantastic. I love how they integrated part of her body with the electricity. It's effective, to say the least. My one complaint is how they drew Harley " she seemed a little too chipper and cutesy, especially considering the fight they were in (I know Harley can enjoy crazy fights, but there's a line even for her).

I like the new story arc and Im curious to see if there are any long-term effects or consequences that are going to spin out of this story. Im very curious to see how this creative team handles the next issue. Read Full Review
For the purposes of setting up this story, certain pieces--including new team members!--slide into place efficiently, but quietly. Some interesting developments between the cover and the final page, but since those things are identical, one might not feel like plunking down three bucks for ceremony's sake. Read Full Review
A mixed bag, but definitely an improvement for the series. Read Full Review
This is a quick and easy read, and gorgeously drawn, but in the end it is nothing more than a series of (as of yet) seemingly unconnected events, and therefore never amounts to more than setup for the rest of the arc. Read Full Review
I am looking forward to seeing what happens next, but the turn of events that take place throughout the issue was kind of dizzying and I didn't feel really attached to many of the characters. Read Full Review
You know, I'm starting to get bored on dead characters never being dead. Beside that, great freaking issue.
Not a single member has died in the suicide squad.
Bit better than previous issues, and surely more consistent graphically, but it's still far from being an enjoyable read. Suicide Squad just can't capture my imagination and attention, and suffers from the same problems that the run made us all get used to, like no character development or no memorable stories.
