Suicide Squad #4 dives deep into just who the Revolutionaries are and why they're in the Suicide Squad. Oh, and some Captain Boomerang too. Can't get enough of that guy. Read Full Review

Suicide Squad hasn't been this good in years. If you haven't been reading it, start now! Read Full Review

The new Suicide Squad written by Tom Taylor continues to impress, managing to fold in familiar faces in exciting ways that continue to push the plot forward and enhance its new roster of expendables. Read Full Review

Another high bar entry in this hugely entertaining title, Suicide Squad #4 is a hugely entertaining read. Action packed, fun and also poignant, the stage is set for issue #5 to give us ringside seats for one almighty scuffle. With the extremely welcome return of Boomer to the proceedings, everything feels energised and elevated. With so much uncertainty in the world at this time, it's good to know we can always rely on Task Force X to deliver the goods… and then some! Read Full Review

There are some great fight scenes in this issue, but it wouldn't work half as well without Taylor's always-excellent dialogue and subtly political writing. Read Full Review

This was an expositional issue for this mystery-driven series. But this creative team even does that well. Even in the midst of backstory and answers, we can tell this is just a momentary dip in an otherwise stellar run. Read Full Review

In the fourth issue of this thrilling series, we get some answers. The backstory and story development are weaved through a chill “road trip” format. This takes a break from the action while still feeling suspenseful. More is being told about the motivations of Osita and her rebels which makes their fight more compelling. And, the built-in tension of the group continues to be a factor. With this next mission having deep ties to Task Force X, I'm interested in what this entertaining series will show us next.

I am enjoying this run on Suicide Squad as we spend time learning about the new team as they globe-trot and take care of business.  It doesn't hurt that the "business" this issue is Captain Boomerang!  I hope more people give this book a try because it is already one of the better team books at DC right now. Read Full Review

Another exhilarating issue of Suicide Squad, though for different reasons than the usual. That is of course what you get from a creative team like this that knows how you give you a well-rounded story for an action book. Suicide Squad #4 was a good reminder that this Harley Quinn is not one to confuse with who she used to be outside of Task Force X. Nothing new to longtime readers, but leaning towards more substance goes a long way. Read Full Review

That's not to say I expect Boomerang to walk away from this " though that would be an interesting twist. What I really wonder is, will Floyd be the one to pull the trigger? Or will he hesitate, thus leading to another controversy among the group? Read Full Review

I don't think that he has hit his stride yet writing this book. But he will. This is another good issue. The characters are great and it is an adrenaline rush. I have a lot of fun reading it and it is the best that the Suicide Squad has been in quite awhile. Read Full Review

While Suicide Squad's larger story is getting itself set up, the characters are used superbly to make the issue more than just the sum of its plot. Read Full Review

Character building works in tandem with humor and excellent artwork in this latest installment to the trials and tribulations of Task Force X. Read Full Review

This is a good issue thanks to a breakneck opening scene and a collection of key moments where characters need to make choices. There is a lot of standing around as Taylor and Sempere set things up, but it'll be interesting to see how this team further gels together. Read Full Review

When all is said and done, this is a solid issue, but it is very transitional. You need these moments in stories though, and while it may feel like a drop in quality for the issue itself, it will benefit the title as a whole when collected. I always welcome character development and have a much stronger appreciation for Osita and the Revolutionaries because of this issue. Then there's Captain Boomerang, who creates quite a bang with his return! Literally... Read Full Review

The final pages deliver the showdown the issue had been building up to, and – very possibly – feature the death of yet another Squad member. After a strong introductory mission, Taylor is really starting to stamp his mark on this particular arc, and the more invested we become in these new faces, the harder its going to be to watch the inevitable happen (hey, we all know how this comic tends to go, right?). Either way, the series has the same blend of humour, drama and slightly over-the-top violence that has made these characters so damn enjoyable to read over the years, and Im definitely on board with this new run for the long haul. Well worth checking out. Read Full Review

It could be that the first three issues of this new run represented Tom Taylor finding himself. This new run arc has a bit more promise. Of course, adding Digger back into the mix is always a great idea. I know I shouldn't feel this way, but he has always been my favorite Rogue and member of the Squad. I have hopes. Now that we have everything explained to us, maybe we can let this story unfold. Also, maybe we will lose a few characters. That could be good. Read Full Review

Prelude:
I've been loving Taylor's Suicide Squad so far, let's see how this issue goes.

The Good:
Australia! Yes, that's worth a point on it's own. Multiple points maybe.

The humour is great. Just top notch stuff.

I love the backstories in this.

Redondo's art is great.

I'm actually concerned about Jog knowing Taylor's tendencies to kill off characters.

The Bad:
Nothing.

Conclusion:
My god, I loved this issue. So. So. Much. It's just perfect, the humour, the serious aspects, Australia. Just so great.

We finally learn the entire chunk of why the Revolutionaries have been "causing havoc" across the globe. It was all to get the attention of the Suicide Squad because of...reasons - mainly Digger Harkness, but also for the machinations of the government entity that tortured her & Tonia, her partner. This is an interesting issue because it could easily be adapted into the third installment of Suicide Squad Film trilogy. especially having Harley & Deadshot or Bloodsport realizing that they no longer want to be a slave to Task Force X. It could work. Also shot out to Captain Boomerang. He feels like a guest appearance in this issue but an exciting addition. I can't wait to see the team get demolished by him. I enjoy this issue.

I love Captain Boomerang and I’m not sorry for that.

She was right about the metric system y'know...

Great humor, art, and story. Got more backstory on why the revolutionaries want to infiltrate task force-x. The build of for this series is going at a steady pace, Taylor does a good job of letting some characters or concepts simmer while others take the primary role.

Another great issue. I love the art and the team has a good dynamic going right now. Just a good read thats having fun with its premise.

" Waller was a monster. But she was our monster. "

'This is a love story?'

Road trip, Australia, miles, emu and Harley's subtlety.

Yo mate he is back.. The biggest thing everyone misses in Suicide Squad 2019 is the australian back stabber and Tom Taylor gives him hell of a return to the game.Plus we get to know what the Revolutionaries were upto!

An origin issue for Osita, which provides much needed character for her, and gives great motivation, probably better than a lot of new characters DC has introduced. Only negative for me writing wise is there's a lot of decompression, albeit it's quite humorous and much more well done than other writers' typical decompression. The plot barely moves forward, but as stated before that's fine because it is more or less an origin issue. The art is great as always, one of the best, if not the best, ongoings right now at DC

"That just feels like an uncomfortably close metaphor"

I can't decide who's the bigger star of this issue.

The beloved by many creation of Paul Dini and Bruce Timm i.e. Harley Quinn, who in this issue perfectly blends her smarts and corkiness or... Tim, whose strong moral fiber will immortalize him in my mind. Seriously, it's a tough decision to make.

As you may have expected, the issue is great and it also looks good. We learn the backstory of the Revolutionaries, courtesy of Dr. Quinzel, we get some good humor, a lot of moments where characters just shine and a little bit of action.

I'm only knocking 0.5 off my final rating due to the abrupt ending.

This was a pretty good issue.

Finally, something I enjoyed. Boomer coming in the way he did was good, and we get back story to the main leader of The Revolutionaries that establishes a motive.
