Eduardo Pansica creates extremely detailed drawings that makes excellent use of character expressions. Brilliant colors and dark tones highlight this work. The result is a beautiful issue that transports you deeper into the story and makes you feel the brutality and danger of the events. Read Full Review

The art is powerful, the characters are intriguing, and the interwoven story design throughout other comics is a testament to Thompson, his creative team, and the possibilities within this series. The new characters are fresh, interesting, and add a dynamic tone to the story that I'm excited to see play out. Read Full Review

Suicide Squad #2 is a solid issue. It's full of action and sets up the team dynamic well. There's also the fact that bodies keep piling up. This is a series that you shouldn't get too attached to characters. They're going to die. Beyond a few specifics, everyone is on the table as far as that. This is a comic that's just full of action and personalities with some dynamic art that brings it all together. A fantastic second issue that builds on the excitement of the first. Read Full Review

Writer Robbie Thompson seems to have an idea of where he wants to take this, and I am hoping his plans are good ones. The art by Pansica is decent as well. All in all, this isn't bad and may get more interesting as the series progresses. Read Full Review

With Suicide Squad #2 this title has grounded itself and found its direction. The stakes are high and the tensions between multiple groups of characters, are through the roof. This could lead this title just about anywhere. If the characters make it out alive. Read Full Review

Robbie Thompson and Eduardo Pansica seem to have the magic touch, as Suicide Squad #2 is just as thrilling as the big series debut. Read Full Review

This book was fun! I really enjoyed seeing Conner in action again, though I will admit I'm a bit of a sucker for anything involving the Super-family. Waller's plans for the Justice Squad seem to be taking shape, but remain nebulous enough to keep me guessing, especially with her next planned target. Rick Flag was noticeably absent here, though, so I'd like to at least see more of him soon. Very enjoyable book, well worth the money if you're a fan of the Squad or Superboy! Read Full Review

Though a tad too reliant on upping the body count for its own sake, Suicide Squad #2 effectively presents enough hook-worthy plot points to lure readers in and keep them around. Read Full Review

The art and character dynamics are strong in this issue as we continue to watch everyone in Arkham Asylum die during "A Day" and while we do a lot of what we did in the previous issue, this does enough to make sure this is interesting and just different enough to make it feel fresh, not to mention that I love seeing new characters brought in to fill out the Squad as they're needed. Another fun issue to a series that is on its way to being one of my most anticipated series each month. Read Full Review

Robbie Thompson has brought the Suicide Squad back to its roots, and that's a mixed bag. Read Full Review

I liked Suicide Squad #2, but it didn't really keep me on edge. The interactivity with outside events is exciting, but the main story so far has really just left me a bit underwhelmed. I hope we are building up to something that will give us a reason to respect Task Force Z over X, instead of just giving us the same with a different name. We lived through two issues in which the mission was to save a confused enforcer of the Court of Owls, and I hope, as does Nocturna, that we see he was worth it. Read Full Review

There's potential in this new take on Peacemaker, but poor Superboy feels like an afterthought and much of the team feels underdeveloped, with an art job that's just okay. Read Full Review

The issue does feature an appearance by Batman who responds to the trouble at Arkham, although there is no direct contact between the Dark Knight Detective and the Squad (although they might not have gotten out as clean with Talon as they expected thanks to Batman's arrival). As for the future of the Squad, it's still unclear what the addition of Talon means for the team and just how Superboy and Peacemaker will coexist after their dust-up. Read Full Review

Well see how the next few issues turn out, but this one definitely left me far less excited to roll with this squad. Read Full Review

This book continues to surprise me on how good it is. The story is off to a great start but the artwork is especially noteworthy. I’m happy to continue following it for now

I haven't read Tom Taylor run yet, but this could be the best Suicide Squad book since John Ostrander, and I´m not even kidding.Violence and humor here are on point, and the conflict created by having Superboy trying to save everyone while his team members don't give a shit about human life is great.

This is one of the best books DC has put out so far. I'm glad they're bringing back some retro characters and Peacemaker slapping Superboy was probably one of the best parts of the book.

This was an enjoyable read, and I actually like the cast. I'm just kinda unsure about Amanda Waller's characterization. It seems off to me.

I can say that it has been much better than previous Suicide Squads. The characters are better, but if some characters change, it can be much better. Peacemaker is great

Thorougly enjoyed this issue, I like Peacemaker and it will be interesting to see Talon come back. Still wondering how Superboy is here.

Dumb fun but too short. The art is brutally wonderful as well.

Annoying that Superboy is getting slapped around, but Peacemaker's shade is immaculate.

Lots of fun, even if there's not much of a story here yet. But it's getting there.

Its was better than the 1st issue but still lacks some of the emotion for the last 2 runs.

Feels like we’re forgetting the purpose of the Suicide Squad here but okay.

This book is ok but needs a little more meat to it. Too simple for now.

What an improvement from the first issue! This one is funny and the takes on Superboy and Peacemaker are good. Art and colours are still good but I still don't care about the Squad members.
