Squad in Hell! “Hell and Back” Part 2! Stuck in Hell, the Squad’s only chance for survival is…Ambush Bug?! While one Squad deals with its newest fourth wall-breaking member, Peacemaker and his crew fight for survival as they hunt for the Swamp Thing!
Suicide Squad reads like a book with a very confident creative team succeeding on all fronts. This remains a highly recommended read each month. Read Full Review
Furthermore, the ingenuity of the issue doesnt stop there. Readers get a somewhat comical issue filled with reasonable action, clever twists, and a true unveiling of Wallers motives that become clear as SUICIDE SQUAD #8 comes to a close. Read Full Review
The issue is stellar on the artistic front as well, with Eduardo Pansica, Dexter Soy, and Marcelo Maiolo delivering big action sequences with key quieter moments amidst all the chaos. Coupled with the last page reveal, Suicide Squad just upped the ante and managed to hook me all over again. Read Full Review
Thompson has crafted a funny and action packed story filled with intrigue. Read Full Review
Suicide Squad #8 has some of the best fourth-wall-breaking captions you'll read all year, clever ideas at work that make the superhero action feel new, and a hell of a cliffhanger ending. Suicide Squad continues to have the chaotic energy and ridiculously over-the-top characters we love wrapped up in a package that takes plenty of chances. Read Full Review
This is a seriously crazy issue. Even if Ambush Bug's narration does drone on at times, the humor works and despite the number if irons in the fire including governments coming after Waller, Rick Flag putting together his own team, the machinations of Talon, and now Peacemaker unleashed, Suicide Squad #8 works as a good start for new readers and a nice summary to catch the rest of us up on everything the current volume of the title has going. Let the craziness continue. Read Full Review
There are so many points of tension in this title that could be the tipping point for a crisis. The ensemble cast is only growing and we can expect the tension to build over the coming issues, so I'm eager to see how this team of characters will handle it, but I have every faith in this skilled creative team to pull off something incredible.

While I continue to love the art and the characters involved with our main Suicide Squad, the all over the place nature of the storytelling and the goofy way of telling and recapping the previous story through Ambush Bug leave me wanting simpler stories because at the beginning of this series it was one of my favorite books and over the last couple of months it just feels like it's falling into silly territory.

Very underrated comic run
Im sorry but this series is awesome.
It is absolutely Bat$#!+ insane and I love every second of it.
The obscure characters, the snappy and quick pacing, the lively dialogue, and the awesome art. This is great SS storytelling here.
I'm not gonna tell you a whole lot about the issue other than the Suicide Squad goes to Hell. Yes, that Hell. Ambush Bug is here to lead the narration through and makes a strong case for being the REAL Deadpool of the DCU.
This book never stops to take a breather , and so is never boring, but it handles itself well enough to not overload you. Rock solid series.
Another wild, fun romp of a time. Ambush Bug deserves his own book, please and thank you.
This was better than last issue, and there are some genuinely interesting ideas at play here. Hopefully Ambush Bug doesn't stick around though.
Absolutely loving this book. Eduardo Pansica is becoming one of my favorite artists at DC right now. I need a Ambush Bug ongoing written by Robbie Thompson asap!!!
The characters are still well-written but this is a let-down after last issue. Having all the dead ex-Squad members brought back to Waller ruins one of the best things about the Squad: having disposable c-list villains. On the plus side, the Swamp Thing mission is finally over and it looks like Flag is trying to recruit Peacemaker. Now that is the story I'm excited to read!
Overall, its got its faults but, it does leave me invested in whats happening.
"Even death can't get you out of the suicide squad"
Damn, death really has no meaning in comic books anymore.
