Suicide Squad #45

A beautifully presented, dramatically tense story that imperils the lives of many. I really cant wait to see how the Squad gets out of this mess and how Atlantis moves forward in their brave new surface-world (though we'll need to read about it in Aquaman #39). Read Full Review

I really enjoyed Williams first installment of this crossover. Seeing how closely he worked with Abnett makes all the difference in my interest level. This might seem like an random mini-event, but Sink Atlantis shows a ton of potential. Read Full Review

The artwork in this issue is probably one of the strongest I've seen in aSuicide Squad comic for a long time. I only hope that they keep the creative team on board with this run. This comic is going from strength to strength, I would seriously recommend picking it up this week. Read Full Review

I'm not usually one for the SUICIDE SQUAD books, particularly in the New 52 Rebirth incarnation, but this issue has all the right stuff, and I look forward to picking up AQUAMAN #39 next week to see how it goes from here. Read Full Review

The issue leads directly into the next issue of Aquaman, where the action really gets going. But its a fun start with a good twist at the end. Read Full Review

Adding some Aquaman to some stiffly-whisked Suicide Squad turns out to be a good recipe for an interesting story and entertaining dialogue. Perhaps the events in this issue aren't entirely unexpected, but I think you'll find that the outcomes aren't obvious. Some new team members inject new life into a team that had become rather stale over time. Nice job! Read Full Review

‘Sink Atlantis' is a story arc that introduces a mission that's right up the alley of Task Force X. You look for the kind of mission that they are meant to be doing, and this was the answer. One where they face a superpower, and at worst they are used to deny any involvement of the US government. Not to mention you have the moments where they show again that they aren't your average villains who act without second-guessing the why. Suicide Squad #45 is a great point to jump back into the action without needing to read Aquaman or have read Dark Nights: Metal. A big plus if you ask me. Read Full Review

It's a lot of fun. The art by Luis is pretty good as well. He's developing into a hell of a talent. It has a lot of funny moments, a ton of crazy adventure, and cool hero shots. What more could you ask for? Read Full Review

A great setup to what I hope will be an incredible story, issue 45 of Suicide Squad definitely is a great read and the perfect template for big story setups, Definitely check it out! Read Full Review

With a pared down Squad and a clear conflict, I'm intrigued by this new arc. Read Full Review

Theres a little something in this book for almost everyone. The rotating cast means each arc can have a different dramatic slant, but Rob Williams anchors the feel with a very consistent recipe. Read Full Review

While this issue is just the setup for now, the creative team finds a way to unite both series' worlds through both solid artwork and well-written characters. Read Full Review

Even for the engaging concept and interesting characters, there's just something lacking this issue and that thing is the well-developed Amanda Waller we got a few issues ago. Read Full Review

While not a crossover I wanted, it stars off very well.

I'm quite stunned - it's a good comic. A genuinely good issue, and aside from the last Suicide Squad arc revolving around Deadshot's daughter, which was decent overall, I can't recall much quality stories in the series. For once, action is not told through eyes of the main cast exclusively, which I truly welcome - it was amazing to see Mera having time of her life, as well as Aquaman talking to his friends. I'm not saying conversations between squad members are bad - in fact, I enjoyed Harley comforting Satanis, and depressed, nihilistic Croc. It's just the fact that more characters offer more variety of viewpoints and personalities. Definitely recommend this comic, especially if you were following events from Aquaman and/or Mera: Queen o f Atlantis mini series. more

Not bad. I don't regularly read this book but I picked it up for "Sink Atlantis" and it was a good read. Unremarkable but a good enough episode of a superhero title.
