They say loose lips sink ships-and Captain Boomerang has the biggest mouth on Earth! That's why Lok commands Task Force X to bring him in and shut him up for good! The hunt is on, but nothing ever goes according to plan in the Suicide Squad-at least, not if Osita and her mutinous Revolutionaries can help it. Will Deathstroke and Harley finally turn against Lok when ordered to kill their old Squad-mate? One way or another, the bodies keep dropping...

Weird Science - Jim Werner
May 26, 2020Tom Taylor blows up heads and hearts in an issue with more twists than Chubby Checker, and believe me, Chubby went back to that well quite a few times! Taylor's Suicide Squad has a Summer Blockbuster vibe, and if you are looking for a fun, action-packed book with great art, look no further. Highly Recommended. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - Charles Hartford
May 26, 2020What transpires in the back half of this issue took me completely by surprise. Taylor, in one fell swoop rocked everything I expected to come next from this narrative. Im so excited to see where this story goes now! This could be the start of something truly huge for our titular heroes. And I couldnt be happier about it. Read Full Review

If you’ve been sleeping on Taylor and Redondo’s Suicide Squad, now is an excellent time to hop on board - this fifth issue is accessible and engaging even if you haven’t read the previous chapters, and by the time this densely-paced issue concludes, you’ll be itching to see where this team goes next. Full of action, exciting artwork, and moments that are both emotional and badass, Suicide Squad #5 might just be DC’s best book this week. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
May 26, 2020A good, fast-paced action issue with surprises and a major turn in the plot that'll have folks wishing for issue #6 right away. It's impressive this team consists of mostly unknown characters and yet we're already caring about their well being more than we might have with the usual Suicide Squad lineup. Read Full Review

Forces Of Geek - Lenny Schwartz
May 29, 2020Redondo is an excellent choice for artist of the book. The action is clean and exciting. The book leaves us on a cliffhanger and I loved it. I can't wait to see how the creative team wraps this up. I do wonder what the long term plan is here but for right now, I am loving this take. Read Full Review

Jun 09, 2020Suicide Squad #5 is actually the end of the first arc, so I am not sure what the TPB will look like. That ending is aces. I am so keen to see what comes up next. I can't even spoil anything here because honestly, that would be terrible of me. Get reading. Read Full Review

Razorfine - Alan Rapp
Jun 01, 2020There are two big takeaways here. First, the crew appears to be setting out on their own. Second, we discover the man behind the curtain pulling Lok's strings is… Ted Kord? Well, that's certainly surprising (and pretty out of character for the former Blue Beetle). The motives of the very Maxwell Lord-ish Ted are going to take some explaining. Read Full Review

Skeptical about the big revelation at the end, but Taylor's done such fantastic work with this book I'm inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt and see where he's going with it. Also, this comic has the funniest act of violence I've seen all week

Prelude: I absolutely loved the last issue of Suicide Squad. Can't wait to see this issue so enough preamble, let's jump in. The Good: The twist and turns! Love it. Was not expecting Ted. But in Taylor I trust. Art is great. The Bad: Nothing. Conclusion: A very simple issue but one that proves entertaining and majorly important in the story.

Great ending to the first act and a reveal that makes me interested in the next arc. Deadshot continues to be my favorite character and Taylor does a lot with him without overdoing the amount of space he takes up in issues.

9.0
This was a good issue. Deadshot finally does something other than stand around and voice his objections to what's going on, and his move was pretty cool, even if it was predictable. At this stage, I don't think these "Revolutionaries" are going to grow on me, so I'll settle for them not annoying me, and in this issue, they weren't unbearably annoying, which was nice. I still don't like that our "Suicide Squad" only has 2 (maybe 3?) members who are actually established characters. I get that it makes it easier to kill people off, but it also makes it harder to invest in the story. Taylor's writing is quite good, character issues aside, and Redondo's art is fantastic.

Well I didn't expect that. I still have some ambivalent feelings about some of the decisions in this book. But, it's overall really good.

My only regret is that there was not more of people being mean to Captain Boomerang, who absolutely deserves it.

The suicide squad to hunt down Captain Boomerang.. Plus we finally gets to know who pulled the strings all along.. Last but not the least Deadshot gets his own moment and scores!
-
8.0
each issue is extremely fast yet packs a big bunch. Deadshot finally steps up & takes matters into his own hands, great action such as the team against Captain Boomerang, etc. But obviously the big reveal is what has me pumped for the next issue. Why is Ted Kord in cahoots with Tok & whoever else has invested...interest, in Task Force X? And I have a feeling some big name Justice League members are about to make a cameo. This is truly a story I can't tell where it's going to go. I keep trying to predict it but pulls the rug from under me. This was a fun issue. My only gripe is learning Jog's backstory. Was it needed? No. Was it used to try and make us care about him before he dies? Yup & I didn't care. Still a fun issue.

Boomer, Harley, and Deadshot... pretty good read until the ending. I get they are setting up for a twist but *shew*
