Bloodsport's first mission with the Squad goes pear-shaped as the Crime Syndicate captures Amanda Waller's agent on Earth-3. By sending in a team to bring Bloodsport home, Waller may also be able to extract another Suicide Squad member for her new team, if she plays her cards right and doesn't care who else she loses in the process. As part of the team heads into the Multiverse, Peacemaker gets a new assignment to track down and eliminate Levi Kamei-the new Swamp Thing!

    This good looking issue is filled with intense action sequences. The bold color work matches the story's energetic tone. And the detailed illustrations add an emotional depth to the character's actions. I found this chapter to be very engaging and transportive. Read Full Review

    With Thompson seemingly ready to start making some reveals after establishing the foundation, Suicide Squad seems poised to warrant close attention over the next few months. Read Full Review

    This issue was good. Like REALLY good. I'm praying this marks a turning point for the book because if so, I'm going to be hanging off those cliffs every month. I cannot wait for issue 8. Read Full Review

    Sprinkling more details for the series' ongoing Superboy mystery,Suicide Squad #6grabs readers' attention by asking just as many questions as it answers. The surprising reveal on this issue's final page has me clamoring for more from the creators.Unfortunately, the switch between these protagonists causes the narrative to gloss over specific details. As a result, there is a disjointed feeling between this book and the previous entry Bloodsport's conclusion feels rushed. Despite an excellent artistic team, the artwork does add to this disjointed feeling due to some noticeable differences in the creators' styles. Read Full Review

    While Suicide Squad continues to be fun and divvies out enough mystery and intrigue to keep me wanting more, I can't help but feel that I wish we were getting a little bit more substance in the majority of the book because while I love Earth-3 and the idea of Superboy fighting Ultraman, there wasn't a lot to it overall. Thankfully the art is amazing, the cliffhanger is fantastic and there are enough smaller moments that keep a smile on my face throughout the issue. Read Full Review

    Suicide Squad #6 treats readers to cosmic clashes of the highest order, with perfectly handled page layouts and rich, explosive colors. At the same time we get fascinating insights to one of the series' key characters and the seeds of a truly remarkable series. Oh, and that last page is killer! Read Full Review

    The issue isn't quite as strong as what's come before, but it works to push the storyline forward and offers an intriguing set-up for the next issue with not one but two Superboys with questions about each other. The Swamp Thing storyline remains largely a tease, but Waller's discovery of Earth-3 suggests an entire new world of recruits for her to choose from. Read Full Review

    I really enjoyed this issue! Thompson again displays a knack for writing great characters in an entertaining way. This is easily the best Suicide Squad series in years. The team loses another member as they drag Bloodsport and Black Siren from Earth-3.

    Loved the extraction mission from Earth-3 and the continuation of recruits onto the team. One thing that the 2016 Suicide Squad messed up on was the addition of new teammates. I wasn't fond that the series was based solely on the 2016 movie and thought that this new 2021 comic would be based on the movie - but wasn't. Loved that the storyline involves Amanda getting new recruits to take over a Earth - what does she intend to do there? Really interesting concept. What's more interesting is the original Suicide Squad that plans to attack Waller, with a mole on the new Squad team.

    This book is so much fun, and I'm really happy that Dexter Soy and Eduardo Pansica's art styles meld surprisingly well; the switch wasn't jarring at all, and it fit narratively with the jump between Earths. I am still a little confused as to why the Squad suffers from "brain liquidation" while jumping between alternate earths; could this be because of the vibrational differences between universes? We've never seen this be a problem in any other book that involves the Multiverse, but it provides some interesting stakes for the squad nonetheless. The reveal was fantastic, and I'm super excited for the annual.

    Amazing issue! I hope that they stop doing crossovers from this point. I mean, the crossovers were pretty good but we need a centered storyline pls. Still, I'm really hyped for the annual!!

    I liked this well enough, but I'm not truly invested. I'm not disliking it, but I was just wanted to move along to something more interesting.

    Why the crappy reviews? I've tried dropping this book 3 times but they keep hooking me. Arts great and the story is interesting enough to keep you going. The team dynamic is fun and there's some cool characters that show up. I dont see the problem. I give an 8 only because there's a printing error and because they don't really explain how Bloodsport is still alive but I can forgive that easily

    I gotta be honest while I like how some things about Superboy get more revelations, it leaves more confusion. Also it becomes apparent that a lot about this series is just an ad for The Suicide Squad movie with the inclusion of Bloodsport in this regard.

    I'm curious to see what the next issue brings us with Superboy but other than that I don't care very much about this.
