This issue, it’s the shocking death of Deadshot! The man who never misses has been on the front lines of Task Force X since its inception-bomb in his neck, gun in his hand. He’s seen teammates blow up and countries fall. He’s faced down heroes and villains alike. Now the Suicide Squad has one final mission: bring down the man who enslaved them, then put a bounty on their heads when they escaped: Ted Kord. But to finish the job, the world’s deadliest assassin will have to do the one thing he’s never done for the cause: die!
The big reveal is a terrific payoff and one that might answer my lone gripe with the series. That will likely get addressed next issue as Taylor and Redondo end this one with a massive cliffhanger that will change everything for the squad. Except for the quality of this book that is. That never changes and remains one of the best titles DC is putting out this year. Read Full Review

This issue is another big winner in what's quickly turning out to be one of DC's best books, and I'm excited to see where Taylor plans to take these characters after the curtain drops " he's surely onto bigger things. Read Full Review
And just like that, this creative team broke the one rule of Suicide Squad that we hold sacred. Issue #9 went there, but made it a moment to remember. Though one death only leads to many more questions about what comes next, because a character like Deadshot as he is now, does not get offed without a proper response to the act. Read Full Review
To say more about this issue is to give too much away, so let's just say this book lives up to the solicitation and its promise. Suicide Squad defies your expectations, constantly connects you to its characters, and is a joy to read. Read Full Review
This issue is built around tragedy, and this creative team makes the whole thing even more tragic with one simple rule. They ignore it. Read Full Review
With two chapters left to complete his story, something tells me the body count will be high and emotions will run deep. Bring. It. On. Read Full Review
Tom Taylor promised this would be an important issue and delivers on that promise. There are still some big things going on in this book with two issues left, but what happens in this book is huge. It's a quick read that looks great and shouldn't be missed by fans of this series. Read Full Review
The Squad is working together better than ever, and they are taking action to take Kord down. What follows are some great moments, some twists and turns, and real consequences. Read Full Review
With twists, turns, gunfire and a pinkie promise, this brilliant series continues to astonish and astound. Read Full Review
Suicide Squad #9 is a solid read that begins to wrap things up for Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo's run. There are some truly shocking moments in the issue, and it's honestly a shame that DC couldn't just let fans experience it. Read Full Review
Suicide Squad #9 has quite the ending. There is no doubt that I will be back for more even though this story is uneven. With only two issues left before the series ends, there are a lot of loose ends for Taylor to tie up. I do think I have an amazing idea for a spin off series with a new, younger person in the Deadshot gear. I wonder if that is where this is going. Read Full Review
Tom Taylor made a fool of me in this issue. It's so good! What a fucking twist! Superman makes a guest appearance & it was effective. I was convinced that he had come in & kind of saved the day. I was on board seeing how the team would react to this & if they would go up against supes in the next issue. But no, it was all a rouse. From Deadshot's conversation about turning over a new leaf with superman, to getting supes to sign an autograph and Floyd's awareness of the entire situation & room, it was phenomenal. I don't care that it was black mask to be revealed but I am happy with how this issue played out. Issue 9 is filled with heart, laughter, a big character moment for deadshot & more. Definitely my favorite issue of the entire run.
This Is DCs best title
Dadshot comicbook character of the year 2020 and its bullshit this series is not continuous
DC PLEASE DON'T END THIS SERIES
I wish they hadn’t spoiled the ending! Made the whole thing hella obvious. Still a good issue though.
" You did good. You atoned. You and Task Force X helped people, even if it didn't feel like it sometimes. While i may not approve of the méthodes... You were clearly a good soldier for a great country."
- SUPERMAN (BLACK MASK)
Of all the series that DC is giving the axe, there's none that I'm going to miss more than this one.
This was a really good issue. I hate how they publicized and marketed this issue, because it really tarnishes the ending. There's no surprise when it happens.
Predictable and a wanna be Ostrander but without the gravitas. I am very disappointed in the execution (no pun intended) on how to kill Deadshot nor the reasoning. I get that you want to deny Deadshot of having a future with his daughter after all the bad but this… this was just dumb and the twist adds to the stupidity.
