"DRAIN THE SWAMP" finale! Hack is out for blood now that her killer has stepped forward. While the Squad tries to protect themselves from Hack's onslaught, Waller does everything she can to keep her secrets buried.
A really fun issue, and as dark as a Suicide Squad tale ought to be. Now can we get some political commentary, please? With the US descending into fascist authoritarianism so quickly, it really needs to be addressed, and this is the best book to do so. Ostrander never shied away from it. Read Full Review
While I do feel like this story arc could have used a different name, it was exciting from start to finish. This finale for the most part satisfied when there was no telling how the events of Suicide Squad #37 would conclude till the very end. It had intensity and emotion, which are two things you get used two for a book dealing with killers and murderers. Read Full Review
Rob Williams does an excellent job at tying up the mini series in this issue, bringing to conclusion Hack's story line. At the same time he starts anew arc for The Wall. The switch from action to emotion in this issue is what sells it for me. We see that, as much as they deny it, the squad actually care for each other. The art team changes yet again, and with it comes another stunningly drawn comic. I do however, wish that DC would stick to one art team and let them run with the issue. Overall, another solid comic from Williams and crew. Read Full Review
While this issue raises some interesting questions, it does little more than act as a precursor to a new arc. Read Full Review
Suicide Squad has taken an upward swing, with a compelling antagonist and a plot that relies less on complex and often boring mythology. Read Full Review
The artwork was decent for this issue, especially the panels involving Hack and her abilities. I love the pixelated look applied when Hack is transferring people from one realm to the other, and would love to see more of that sort of style. Hopefully we will. I think the design for the Wall guy is kind of campy, but there's a good chance that was intentional, so I'm going to let it slide. Read Full Review
Picking up right where issue #36 left off, Suicide Squad #37 is a decent read but doesn't really deliver the same way the previous issue is. Read Full Review
While having its moments, the conclusion to this arc is average at best and kept up by its art. Read Full Review
I didn't feel very invested in this chapter of Drain the Swamp. As the storylines conclusion, it was a fun read, I just didn't feel it as much as the previous issues leading up to this comic. It seems like every single issue the team dies, and then somehow is brought back to life and then dies and brought back to life.... over and over and over again. At this point it really feels tiresome.I really wish the comic would start to focus on character development more. Bring more heart into the series, everything feels like its on the surface when they could delve deeper into the characters. Read Full Review
Suicide Squad #37 doesn't really do it for me. I never really get the chance to bond with Hack and root for her, and end up feeling rather careless. The Squad members act in character, but their lines feel forced and too predictable. The story also never reaches an actual conclusion but immediately drags readers into the next arc, despite it being marketed as a "conclusion." Read Full Review
This issue ends more or less the same way the last one did. So you can skip it and wait until something interesting happens. Unless you're one of those people that "ships" June Moon and Killer Croc, then this issue could be for you. Read Full Review
This could have been a very interesting story of revenge and past mistakes coming back to haunt Captain Boomerang. As it stands, all it has done is make me want to watch Tron. Read Full Review
Been a while since I've read a Suicide Squad comic and enjoyed it. Issue's highlight - Hack's interrogation leading to Captain Boomerang's confession was nicely written and quite rewarding, after not really engaging story arc that led to this scene. Sure, dialogues could, and most likely should have been better, and same goes to general development of main characters (something the series really struggles with), but overall, I can't say I was disappointed. Coming with very little expectation allowed me to enjoy it, honestly.
I just wish the entire run had so much personality as this scene, and used its cast properly.
