    But Why Tho? - Charles Hartford

    When I look back at Suicide Squad #7 it stands out to me as an impactful moment for a character I barely knew half a year ago, but has quickly come to mean a lot to me. With this storys ending, I look forward to where the journey takes him, and the rest of the Squad next. Read Full Review

    Suicide Squad #7 provides us with a John Wick-esque story centered around Deadshot. There's a disgruntled protagonist who wants to throw his dangerous life away in an effort to spend more time with his family, a shaggy head of hair and even a cute little dog. Nothing could go wrong, right? Read Full Review

    Furthermore, the ways in which Deadshot's "power" is shown on the page is one of the most effective uses of a marksman in superhero comics in some time. It's a thrilling moment filled with threads of sadness and anger, all of which stem from a tragic reality that this colorful confrontation reflects. Read Full Review

    Suicide Squad #7 is by far the strongest issue of this new run. The smart thing Taylor and team did here was to make us actually have the time to care about Zoe Lawton. She is essentially a mythological creature at this point. When we finally see her, and all that she is and all that she can be, we finally feel the empathy for Floyd that has been missing for years. I like this. I am not sure how I feel about what is coming, but this issue, is perfect. Read Full Review

    Suicide Squad is a book that everyone needs to put on their pull list.  Why?  Because I like it and want it to keep going.  Yea, I'm selfish like that, but it comes from a place of love.  This issue has good art, genuine feelings, and moments when you will pump your fist in the air.  Don't believe me?  Then I dare you to buy it and prove me wrong!

    Tom Taylor and team continue to prove that Suicide Squad is the book to read at DC Comics! Packed full of strong characterization, action, plot twists, and emotional beats galore, this is easily one of the most balanced and engaging books hitting shelves right now. This issue, in particular, is a heartfelt gem that focuses on Deadshot and the person who is his reason for existence, his daughter. Read Full Review

    Monkeys Fighting Robots - Zac Owens

    Jul 28, 2020

    DC Comics' Suicide Squad #7 might be a change in pace, but it's the perfect intro to Deadshot's family life. We're no longer talking in hypotheticals here. We know what Deadshot is risking every time he heads out with Task Force X. This quiet issue (for this series, there's still plenty of fighting) brilliantly raises the stakes. Read Full Review

    My take away form this is… I've missed out of six amazing issues of this run. Also, the next issue some true problems are going to arise for anyone that stands in Lawton's way. The Suicide Squad seem to have their work cut out for them, trying to help Deadshot and keep themselves out of danger. Yeah… that's likely. Read Full Review

    Poor Deadshot. He just wants to be a father for his daughter. But he can't. This issue really showscases the main struggle death stroke has with his life. Once you're an assassin, it's hard to not be one

    Wow, I loved this issue. Tom Taylor continues to knock this series out of the park. During a time where it's hard to read any of the ongoing series at DC, who would have thought suicide squad would be the one. The story is magnificent. It provides much needed development for Deadshot, as well as giving him a very sympathetic angle. It also makes the team feel very connected now, instead of just a bunch of hired killers. The art was great also. My slight negative is that the arrival of the team felt a little Deus ex machina, but it is a comic book. People need to read this series, it's one of the best suicide squad runs ever and also one of the better runs in recent DC memory

    In these difficult, unstable times, when comic stores go bankrupt one after another, do them, and yourself a favour, and pick this book up. The issue may have not been as outstandingly perfect as the previous one, but it's still an unbelievably good read which I can't recommend enough. This is the Suicide Squad we've been all waiting for - full of action, heart and little twists making the plot feel so much more exciting, not overusing any particular character that I may or may not have in my avatar, focusing on the team dynamic and development. It's a stellar comic.

    Never thought I'd be glad to see the Revolutionaries show up...but I'm very glad Deadshot's daughter is okay. Deadshot finally got to do some Deadshooting in this issue, which was nice to see. Although I won't lie, it feels kinda unclear who the main characters are in this series. I know it's a story about a team, but even team stories have primary, secondary, and tertiary characters. But in this, there seem to be tertiary and secondary characters, but no primary ones. You could make a case for Deadshot and Osita, maaaaybe Harley, but even then, the focus isn't really on them in a way that feels like they're center stage. I think this lack of clarity concerning who this story is actual about is part of what's making it hard for me to invest more

    The book delivers one of the satisfying moments in Suicide Squad's history.Floyd Lawton deserved it way before in new 52, but it took 8 more years to happen.Anyway thanks to Tom Taylor and Daniel Sampere for delivering a brillaint issue centered around Floyd Lawton's efforts to quit his life as Deadshot.The book is a range of light hearted moments and surprises so enjoy!

    Tom does a great job at giving Deadshot more time and development with his daughter (even though it is cringy af). However, the comic gets pulled down by, again awaiting the twist, a hero turned corrupt business man.

    TED KORD NOOOOO! LOOK HOW THEY MASSACRED MY BOY! Liveshot, are you fucking kidding me? I really don't give a shit about Deadshot's daughter. Taylor and his wholesome bait is so overplayed at this point, I feel like I'm watching a goddamn Disney movie. I want to read Suicide Squad for the villains, not these bushworld outback rejects.
