Soozee Carmichael Comic Reviews

Harley is generally not conventional in her approach to problems but this issue shows that we all need a helping hand from time to time. I always love when the artist show's a versus panel showcasing the entire team vs. team. You can almost see everyone ready to fight it out!

I didn't really know what to expect from this issue at first and was a little weary they would be spending a ridiculous amount of time, but this was a one and done issue that had a slightly slow beginning and then ended far too quickly. However, in the middle there were a few great references to both literature (Apocolypse Now, Independence Day, etc.) and what our other favorite characters have been up to (Nightwing and Harley got married?! And then divorced...Bruce Wayne the Third?!) Overall, I liked the story once it got going and felt they could have spent a little more time in this story. Everything happened a bit too easily and Harley hasn't changed at all in the thirty years they seemed to have skipped ahead.

I was expecting so much more from this issue. They could have gone a million different ways after last week, and I feel like it just fell a little short of where it should have ended. We've had some great Harley stories, and this one wasn't bad, it just wasn't as good as many of the others we've had lately. Also, Professor Pyg is a horrible monster that I really really disliked.

Watching Harley do something for other people was so great! Watching her try so hard to kill Lord Death Man was actually pretty comical. Given her history, it's easy to assume she's good at killing people, but in true Harley fashion, she doesn't do it conventionally. And the twist at the end just made me smile. I really loved this issue!

This is a fun intro from last issues' huge crossover. I really like Captain Triumph and am even tempted to go look him up. Harley is her usual self and it's a lot of fun to see her interact with him.

Overall, this comic has piqued my interest enough that I'll keep reading. I'm curious to see where the storyline goes as we've already had robots come to Harmonia and the princesses just went to find Ultimus and the Centurions. How long will this arc last? What other stories are they going to tell? We'll all have to keep reading to find out.

While it was cool to see Waller's backstory, the comic is called Suicide Squad. I feel like there was so much potential with this storyline and it felt a little short to me. Too much wrap up too quickly by the end. I would like to see the whole team a little more often. Can we try, DC, to try a little harder to be a little better, m'kay?

I really enjoyed this issue. And I'm excited to see where it's going. Unlike last weeks Waller show issue, this one has a lot of potential even though it doesn't seem as focused on the entire Suicide Squad.

I love the progression we've seen with Batman since Damian Wayne was dropped on his doorstep. And even though this is a Suicide Squad comic, I love that Batman has evolved and it's easy to see wherever he shows up. I love that he's trying to help Lawson even though they are normally on opposing sides.I am still a little disappointed at how little the entire Squad is in this issue. I wish they would include it more because currently it kind of feels like a Batman issue with a few members of the Squad showing up from time to time.

I have really enjoyed this arc. It has been good to see the Squad outside their element. I also like that at their core, most of them don't want to blow up Atlantis. Master Jailer's speech about just wanting to be there for his kid is so brilliant and brings such depth to the characters.
