Suicide Squad #20
| Writer | Rob Williams |
| Artist | Stjepan Sejic |
| Cover Price | $2.99 |
"FALSE FLAG" part one! Task Force X needs a new team leader, and the pickings are slim: a cannibalistic crocodile-man, a schizophrenic witch-demon, a one-armed assassin, a lady who talks to her sword and a racist drunkard. But there's also the homicidal clown-girl who, devastated by the loss of her crush, returns to a dark and violent path from which there can be no escape...

Nerd Church Radio - Noah O'Toole
Jun 28, 2017I must admit I was blown-away by this issue. The photo-realistic art style by Stjepan Sejic is breathtaking, and after the events of last issue that finally shook up the Squad's roster the story has finally piqued my interest. This is the most interesting issue of Suicide Squad I've read in a long time and is a great jumping on point for new readers. Read Full Review

Jun 30, 2017This team has earned Suicide Squad its first ever perfect score. DC's HR department have done a fine job managing people. Read Full Review

Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles
Jun 28, 2017The leadership choice has me worried Suicide Squad is about to become a little too much like the movie. That's a problem for another time though. For now, issue #20 was an exceptional slice of life look at the Suicide Squad. Read Full Review

IGN - Jesse Schedeen
Jun 29, 2017This issue is equal parts funny, wistful and optimistic, and further proof that Sejic needs to be a recurring face in the Rebirth lineup. Read Full Review

Jun 29, 2017A fantastic book that truly stands out. The ending was a great cliff-hanger, and who knows, we might have actually met someone whose evenworse then Waller. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Reggie Hemingway
Jun 28, 2017We take a break from our usual non-stop bullet-time beheadings for a more contemplative issue of character studies. After the last arc, such a thing is welcome, particularly when drawn by Stjepan Sejic. I mean, let's be real: even if it were Katana doing her laundry, it would still be great if Sejic drew it. If the story can be engaging and funny besides, that's a bonus. Read Full Review

AIPT - Andrew Wheeler
Jun 28, 2017Suicide Squad #20 gives you everything you want out of the Suicide Squad without even having to throw a punch. It also delivers one of the best stories between an unlikely coupling. Read Full Review

Geeked Out Nation - Jideobi Odunze
Jun 28, 2017Who Waller chooses to lead the Suicide Squad was pretty shocking even if on the surface it made sense. Suicide Squad #20 definitely made us work for that answer and the exploration was worth it for some crucial character development. These may be villains, but they are still people underneath. It was sad, it was suspenseful, yet above all it was moving to an extent. Read Full Review

Batman-News - Joshua McDonald
Jun 30, 2017If there's one thing that's certain, you can always count on Suicide Squad for an entertaining read. Whether it be full of action, character focused, or a little wacky, Williams is sure to deliver. Add to that guarantee by enhancing Williams' script with art as beautiful as Sejic's and you're blessed with an amazing gift! Go get this issue! If you haven't been reading Suicide Squad, I highly recommend catching up. If you don't have the time or funds to catch up, this could be a decent starting point. Either way, this is a book you need to be reading! Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Hussein Wasiti
Jun 28, 2017This one-shot explored some the dynamics between the characters in the Suicide Squad, with the standout being Sejic's art, who is quickly becoming one of my favourite artists. Pick this issue up, as well as Aquaman #25 to really see what I'm talking about. I think this story was necessary to provide a bit of breathing room and to let this book have its own story as opposed to playing second fiddle to other titles. Read Full Review

On Comics Ground - Erin Schramm
Jul 01, 2017Beautifully drawn, even if Waller's choice of who should leave the Squad makes little in-character sense and more of a pull from DC's editors and publishers due to this character's current popularity. Read Full Review

Comic Crusaders - J.P. Harvey
Jul 04, 2017But overall the flaws are minor. Again I'm reminded of DC's past with Justice League International, and I see Sejic joining the ranks of legends like Kevin Maguire and Adam Hughes. Read Full Review

The Batman Universe - Corbin Pool
Jun 30, 2017The direction of this book had me hyped when it began. It would fill me with hope and excitement, and by the end would make a stupid turn that defies all logic. This one issue encapsulates that. Read Full Review

Comic Book Bin - Deejay Dayton
Jun 29, 2017I have to admit, though, that the person chosen as leader was exactly the person I thought it would be, even before reading the story. I felt it was sort of broadcast in the previous issue. And I guess part of the lack of surprise is that the groundwork for it had been laid in earlier stories. Can I rightly criticize an author for making sure that an unusual decision can be backed up by earlier events? I dont think so. Read Full Review
