Suicide Squad #31

Suicide Squad #31is beautifully written, brilliantly crafted and a perfect combination of art and story that draws the reader in and immerses them so fully in the drama that you forget that it's a comic book. If you want to feel real feelings about imaginary characters, this is the issue to read. Read Full Review

I have no idea how Mr. Williams and the team are going to finish this story, but I am well, and truly invested. This issue was another in a great run. Read Full Review

Suicide Squad #31 was a good mix of emotion and action, just how you like it when it comes to this book. The theme again is sacrifice, and it never hurts to emphasize that this is a big part of the job description. Well that and its also in the name. The events here were defining and memorable when almost everything about this story had tragic written all over it. Read Full Review

The art on this one is ok, but nothing to write home about. I am not sure why there is such difficulty getting a regular art team on this title, and the quality varies widely. True, the mood remains intact despite the change, thats a positive thing. But I long for better visuals. Read Full Review

There were quite a few things I loved about the artwork for this issue. The Phantom Zone being shown as creeping ice was a beautiful touch. It made it both creepy (no pun intended) and gave it a more realistic edge. I'll admit that the spacesuits the team wears still bother me " they look more like mech suits than spacesuits, when you think about it. Read Full Review

This fairly middling story arc continues to plod along at a pace much slower than it should, and the romantic entanglements of people that are little more than congealed ghosts are shrug-worthy. Red Wave is too crazy-looking a monster for this kind of cerebral treatment. Better he rampage through Tokyo than be subjected to this long-winded chapter. Read Full Review

Not a great example of this series, which I am otherwise a huge fan of. If it wasn't on my pull list I probably would've put this book back on the shelf. Read Full Review

At some point, Suicide Squad lost all semblance of a clear, cohesive visual style, and that's something DC really needs to address. Read Full Review

Part 5 of "The Secret History of Task Force X" fumbles hard! With major pacing issues already plaguing the story, the narrative becomes even worse when new plot developments completely undermine a large reason this story even exists. I'm not sure what happened with Williams following the General Zod arc, but his work just hasn't been the same since. It's too bad because Suicide Squad was one of the most engaging stories to come out of Rebirth. Read Full Review

This is actually one of the better issues of the series in a bit, as it has a decent horror aesthetic and strong art by Barnaby Bagenda, but the story and the characters are still rather lacking. Read Full Review

Despite the return of a former Squad member, this storyline continues to drag at the penultimate issue. Read Full Review

This arc has gone on way too long and continues to confuse and frustrate. My biggest problem with this storyline, is that I just dont particularly care how they get out of this one. Do better folks, the readers deserve it. Read Full Review

Good issue. t was a little redundant though and this arc could have been done in less issues. It was fun though. The art was a little better than normal and the concept keeps me interested.
