The hunters have become the hunted! Task Force X is the world's most wanted-on the run from heroes and villains alike and no closer to taking down the puppet master who's been pulling their strings.

    Tom Taylor has taken this veteran title and breathed fresh life into it, pushing it to the top of the tree. It never fails to put a smile on my face and with so much more to come, the ensuing weeks are going to be a golden period for this run. Bravo! Read Full Review

    While I like the direction things are going in Suicide Squad #6, I still struggle with the size of the team. Now they have gone rogue and Ted is the baddie. I am not sure about that. It is always nice to see the big guy, but I worry that they had to bring him in for issue six. Does that mean the book is on thin ice? Maybe. I like the direction things are going with Floyd. That could be interesting. Honestly, a Deadshot stand alone mini might be just the thing. Oh wait, Suicide Squad #6, right. It's fine. Read Full Review

    The Ted Kord bombshell and the revealed death of Deadshot might have me somewhat leery of the longtime future of the book, but Suicide Squad is becoming one of DCs more consistently enjoyable books each month. Read Full Review

    The hunters were definitely hunted this week. Suicide Squad #6 did not disappoint one bit showing these guys what they have stepped into trying to take down the puppet master who's been pulling their strings. Not only that, but reminding these guys that this is a daring mission to accomplish in a world of heroes. Read Full Review

    This book should have a ton more people reading it, and maybe Batman showing up will do the trick.  The overall story doesn't progress a lot, but the art is excellent, and there are some laugh out loud moments, mostly at the Dark Knight's expense.  This is a book that should be on more pull lists!

    But Why Tho? - Charles Hartford

    Jun 23, 2020

    Suicide Squad #6 delivers another great read. It has humor, and character in abundance. Whatever happens to the team in the coming issues I find myself hoping more and more that these characters get to become standing staples in the DC Universe. They are deep, unique and a wonderfully diverse crew. All things any universe can use more of. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Joshua McDonald

    Jun 24, 2020

    Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo shift gears in Suicide Squad #6, taking the team to Gotham City to" deliver a comedic issue? That can't be right. Can it? Gotham City? Suicide Squad? Comedy? Should those three concepts work together? In the modern-day depictions that we're used to? No, probably not. However, this issue is executed incredibly well, and I'd be lying if I didn't say I was highly entertained from start to finish! Also, there's a puppy! SOLD! Read Full Review

    在推进剧情的同时,每一页都有着让人会心一笑的幽默的细节。虽然Tom Taylor又一次时不时地杀死某些è§'色,但是这个SUICIDE SQUAD刊的阅读体验非常æ£'。毫不客气的说,目前的6期是我读过最好的自杀小队故事。 While advancing the plot, every page has humorous details that make me smile. Although Tom Taylor kills certain characters from time to time, the reading experience of this SUICIDE SQUAD story is very good. To put it bluntly, the current 6 issues are the best suicide squad stories I have read.

    Everything gets better when Batman shows up! The Dark Knight makes a fun guest appearance and I loved it. Taylor manage to show case some great action, suspense & funny dialogue in this issue. A good chunk of it happens between Batman & Deadshot going toe to toe with gadgets, quick responses and even a subtle argument that has commentary on how batman operates. It's great. I loved it.

    I don't have a habit giving comics 10/10 scores, simply because I reserve it for something so perfect I can't even comprehend the though of it. But this issue... this issue was as perfect to me as you can get in Suicide Squad comics, no joke. It was significantly more lighthearted than past issues, giving Chaos Kitten, Wink, Harley and Deadshot more than expected opportunities to really shine comedically. And I love every single of their scenes. This is how you bring light and humor into the grim Gotham City in a natural way, without turning complex characters into caricatures nor relying on one liner quips no one genuinely laughs at. It's just perfect and I won't lie, I love this series so far. The new faces in the cast, the tone, the stor more

    A landmark issue for this series. The humor was probably the best it has been and blended so well with the action sequences. Batman and Deadshot really sell this issue.

    This currently is the best DC ongoing in my opinion, and will be the only one I read every month until the inevitable reboot coming after Death Metal. Tom Taylor needs to get on other books at DC, every ongoing right now is suffering in my opinion, while all the mini/maxi series and events are what is keeping DC afloat.

    Taylor's Aussie-Squad OC's make a fool out of the Dark Knight while Deadshot makes a difficult decision. While I like Taylor's writing, I feel like his overkill wholesome moments (the dog in this issue) kind of bloat the story and leave something to be desired. Series is still great tho.

    Suicide Squad ends up in Gotham and its protector is on their back.Batman and bat frames are the core of the issue followed by a much awaited Deadshot V Batman moment although it ends dull.The book ends in the most unexpected way expected adding to the surprises.

    Listen...I'm always jazzed to see Batman show up in a comic that's not his. But when he shows up, I like him to come in and show what an absolute badass he is and then leave in a way that makes the other characters feel lucky just to have breathed the same air as him for a bit and survived mostly intact. So it kinda bums me out to see him show up and do not much of anything except for taking punches from teenagers and getting his Batmobile stolen. Firstly...this issue just showed Batman taking out a group of highly trained and fully armed assassins in seconds, but he gets punched and kicked in the face twice while trying to take down two amateur anarchists? And then some girl who is a thief and a teleporter manages to steal a vehicle that i more

    I really think that Tom Taylor does not know Deadshot or Batman during this read. Not only did both characters not act their usual selves but they also used as comedic moments... hmmmmm... however the beginning was really good and sets up the middle well before it tumbles down.
