Well, if you enjoy ultra-violent action comics and are interested in the upcoming video game, then Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum #5 is a satisfying conclusion. However, for those seeking a deeper story or character development, this might be a miss. Overall, Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum #5 is a  bloody and entertaining conclusion that sets the stage for a larger conflict. Pick it up if you're a fan of violent action comics and want to learn more about the Suicide Squad before playing Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

This is a decent King Shark story. First of all, on a superficial level, he just looks cool. Outside of some blob-like figures or framing issues, Kill Arkham Asylum #5 has decent artwork. Secondly, reading Shark's escape was interesting and endears readers to his thought process. While Waller's overall plan is to make omelets out of killing a few bad eggs, this story makes no sense. Furthermore, the game itself doubles down on this ridiculous process by forcing each of these survivors to try to kill one another as well. I would love to say Kill Arkham Asylum was a worthy tie-in, but it is almost entirely skippable. It character assassinates Waller even more than the game, before assigning you to control these morons in an even less coherent setting. So, if readers have time to burn, it may have some entertainment value if you turn your brain off. Read Full Review
