It's Task Force X's first mission as a brand-new team of blood enemies, and things have already gone horribly wrong! As Squad members start to turn on each other, the mission rapidly falls to pieces-but new team leader Lok will let no bad deed go unpunished. Who will take the fall? One thing's for sure: there will be hell to pay...
The way you know that this series is a fun read is that even its slower, dialogue heavy moments are still a treat. You have to read this book if you're looking for something fresh in the DCU. Read Full Review
Redondos art is so well suited for this version of the team. Hes established the new characters strongly with some basic visual cues like the short burst speedster Jog actually has a beer gut while Deadly Six has a smooth air to him. Adriano Lucas color work is exceptional with terrific shading and blends. Read Full Review

Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo deliver another stellar issue of Suicide Squad. The book is smartly written, incredibly engaging, and chock full of twists and turns that will keep you on your toes while also, somehow, continuing to hit personal, emotional beats as well. Read Full Review
Taylor is having a blast writing this, you can just tell. And Redundo's art is beautfuland efficiently used. Bravo to those two. Read Full Review
Suicide Squad #3(Taylor, Redondo, Lucas) sees the story begin to really take shape as the team begins to breathe new life into a somewhat stale property. Read Full Review
With the promise of a certain Aussie character returning in issue 4, the team is shaping up very nicely indeed. For a veteran title, the re-invigoration here has been tangible and Suicide Squad is certainly worthy of a seat at the top table. Read Full Review
As did the Revolutionaries' decision to let Deadshot in so quickly. But that was another good call from Taylor. No need to have them battling with one another right now. It's not a fight we care about. That being said, they don't need to bring Harley Quinn in just yet. Her being confused would play well. Read Full Review
I had a blast with the third issue of this series as it continues to define itself as a great blend of character and visual stimulation. It has cinematic feel fans won't want to miss. Read Full Review
This series of Suicide Squad has been a thrill ride. And, this installment keeps up that pace. The dynamic of the squad has never seen days like this. A civil war is brewing inside the group. That tension is creating a healthy dose of suspense. Calling this a powder keg is an understatement. This is a nuclear warhead falling from 2,000 feet and zooming closer to impact. The fallout is going to be quite a spectacle. Read Full Review
Fresh off DCeased: Unkillables, Tom Taylor scores another win with Suicide Squad #3, the grittiest and most compelling Suicide Squad issue in years. Read Full Review
This is a book which keeps getting better and better. If you thought this was going to be too different from your average Suicide Squad book to jump in? Rest assured, you are investing in the same high-octane action, violence, and shock. Better yet, this is Suicide Squad which starts off on a better note than most with momentum and high stakes from the get-go. Suicide Squad #3 was a wake-up call as well that you should simply sit back and let this story unfold on its own. This creative team clearly has plans to flip the script on us when we least expect it. Read Full Review
It is a feat these days and they do great in this issue. Not a bad series thus far. Read Full Review
When all is said and done Suicide Squad #3 continues to excel at its character-driven narrative. Read Full Review
Tom Taylor continues showing off his new characters with a story that suddenly became more personal. Bruno Redondo's art is excellent, and there is a mystery brewing about what this Suicide Squad is. I liked it, I am just waiting to love it, but unfortunately, I'll have to wait a little bit longer. Read Full Review
It has been a solid few opening issues for sure, but with the bulk of the narrative now seemingly hinging on new Waller Lok a character who has shown himself to be blindingly one-dimensional to this point it remains to be seen whether Taylor can keep this books head above water as its run continues. Either way, Im definitely going to be sticking around for at least a few more issues to see how this all plays out. Read Full Review
There is a saying about too many cooks in the kitchen ruining the meal. Well, that is on full display in Suicide Squad #3. Seriously, I am not sure what is going on, who is in charge or why I should care. The charm of the Squad is that they band together not fight it out with each other. Sure, there is tension, but tension can be played upon. This is not that and it just doesn't work. It is only issue 3 in a new run, so I will give it a chance. Considering the Boomerang is coming back next issue, I feel good. Read Full Review
So much unpredictable fun
Prelude:
Suicide Squad has been great with its first two issues so let's see how Taylor goes with this one.
The Good:
Got some character to Lok here.
Love the Revolutionaires as always.
Deadshot and Harley were great too.
Redondo's art was great.
The Bad:
Nothing.
Conclusion:
Taylor is known for his characters and it shows here. Wonderful work as always.
For the concept of a unit of villains that are prone to dying, Taylor has given unique voices to each character and created a story to care about. My favorite trait that shined in this issue is how solidified the balance of different character is
The new characters are actually growing on me. I totally expected them to be death fodder.
Lord have mercy I’m invested in a Suicide Squad comic. Am I dreaming? Is this a beautiful dream?!
I love this book, but if i'm going to be honest, I really want to see Deadshot put a bullet in every single one of these Revolutionaries,, especially Osita. JUSTICE FOR CAVALIER!!!!
" I thought we were dealing with Amanda Waller. She's a monster. But she's a competent monster with a code. "
- OSITA
Sweet mother of mercy, I couldn't think that the book could get better and deeper than #2 but Taylor did it. Combine that great story with excellent art and you have perhaps the best book DC is publishing right now.
Okay, this is going smoothly so far.
This is the Suicide Squad we deserve. Not the half-assed soap opera Rebirth started with, not the live action face tattooed Hot Topic abomination. Oh, man, is it good. For once every team member has purpose, some more obvious than others, but all equally important, there's a bigger story unraveling, and a real conflict that deconstructs the tired trope of US government using supervillains for risky, secret missions. We're past that, we know the US government is way worse than that in real life, so introducing a new, mor complex dynamic, ideological conflict and power struggle, it refreshes this franchise so, so much. This new Suicide Squad is not precisely what I wanted the series to be - it exceds my expectations, is way more than I origin more
One of the best DC books right now.
Shark, which should've been King Shark gets killed faster than I expected. I thought Fin was going to kill him about half way through this maxiseries but no! It happened half way through this issue & it was brutal. really enjoy the banter between between Deadshot, Harley & The revolutionaries. They're talks bring subtle commentary on the nature of Task Force X, Floyd & Harley's role, & just what they truly represent.
A lot of tension in this issue & a lot of reveals in this as well. Who is Lok working for? etc.
My only complaint about this issue is that it felt very convenient for current sitting president of whatever country they're in, is the mother of Aerie. I understand we don't know much about the Revolutionarie more
The squad is given hell of a machine which is none other to infiltrate and kill where Scale and Shark are forced to work together settling out their differences.The book as usual involves surprise death and much more.So in the end yet another SS mission to enjoy !
Really fun and interesting stuff coming from this book. I m really starting to care about the new characters and its great looking.
"That's okay. I talk enough for multiple people"
This was a total blast. After so much time, DC is again releasing a book that I am genuinely excited about. (The above statement did not count the masterpiece that is Doomsday Clock)
Wonderfull art, a great ensemble of characters that play off each other very well, good dialogue and a story that continuously keeps you engaged.
Awesome.
Is it funny and well written? YES! Hows the Art? Its Amazing. So whats the problem? C list knock off No names.... Instead of Harley or really any DC character we get Chaos Kitten and Big Muscle Woman. A speedster named Jog who has that almost required bad boy attitude speedsters seem to need. I dont know I guess it would have been better had one of them died in a cool way or something since I assumed thats why we would have these characters in the first place. Instead they become the main attraction in a mental chit chat episode and we kill off King Shark... it was bizarre because it had some great moments just not with anyone great.
Underwhelming shark plot. Very underwhelming.
Plot regarding "secret organizations" was very predictable from the start.
*Shew*
Great start, a dumb founding middle, and ends strong. I enjoy the artists work but the writer has not one this fan of The Suicide Squad.
