It's safe to say this book is in good hands, and it's heading in a good direction. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds.  Read Full Review

A really good ongoing story which continues to entertain and intrigue on equal levels. Whilst I haven't enjoyed much of what has been coming out of DC recently, Suicide Squad is a book that I am happy to keep picking up on release. I mentioned earlier about Rick Flag being absent and I am left wondering how Robbie Thompson will address this in future issues. You get the feeling that this is building up to something and hopefully the crossover with the Teen Titans doesn't derail this. Read Full Review

Detailed drawings are highlighted by a cool toned palette. The character expressions and action sequences are well done. This is an exciting issue that really transported me further into the story. Read Full Review

Thompson and his creative team are doing a fabulous job setting up all the moving pieces within the series while managing to juggle an incredibly eclectic cast of characters. This hidden gem provides readers with an extensive look around the DC COMICS landscape and makes dedicated fans feel like what they're reading is important. The art is sharp, bright, and chalked full of energy. There really is so much to like about this series. Read Full Review

Suicide Squad has been one of 2021's most pleasant surprises, and things only look to get better from here. Read Full Review

This is the most fun issue yet. The action is awesome, the plot is gaining intrigue, and the characters are compelling. There are a lot of threads being dangled in front of us, and I'm excited to see how they wrap up, be it neat or in one giant plot ball of chaos. Still no Rick Flag, so I hope we see him again soon. I'm genuinely curious whether Thompson has plans for him or if his incarceration in the first issue was a convenient way to get him out of the book. I hope it's the former, as the latter would be kind of lazy, and if it were true, why show us Flag being dragged away at all? I hope we get some answers soon, or at least glimpses of them.

Suicide Squad #3 is intriguing and cinematically illustrated, sprinkling out the breadcrumbs for the series' mysteries and future conflicts. Although the entire premise of this story focuses on Waller's acquisition of Bolt, this issue's success lies in the hints of future contention amongst the team. Additionally, Eduardo Pansica's pencils, Julio Ferreira's inks, and Marcel Maiolo's colors give each sequence an epic tone fit for the big screen. Unfortunately, a few storytelling cliches and inconsistencies within the artwork prevent this book from receiving top marks. Read Full Review

Suicide Squad is unlike any previous interpretation for better or worse. So far, the creative team is handling this disjointed team well enough to keep me invested even with the odd supporting cast. Read Full Review

Suicide Squad continues to be fun and looks great while it's doing it as we go forward with bringing some speed to the team, not to mention diving deeper into their motives and characterizations. I'm really digging the fun of this book during and outside the groups missions because while they are a "team", seeing them trying to act like one is a hilarious shit show that's ultimately going to get everyone killed eventually and I can't wait to read more about it.

Overall, the action is good but the status quo still isn't really clicking. Read Full Review

Failure is not an option for this team, but there're a few suspicious dealings going on within their structure that are leaving us worried. None of them trust each other, strangers are even dropping in to offer help, and the fate of Rick Flag is still unknown. These mysteries and the human stories told in Suicide Squad #3 alone are keeping me gripped. Read Full Review

"Suicide Squad" #3 is a decent read but when will this series become the standout it can be? Read Full Review

The writing is bad but I don't know how much I can blame writer Robbie Thompson. This feels more like an editorial decision for a crossover. The art is good at least and Pansica does a truly great job making the book look good. Read Full Review

This book isn't terrible, and it certainly isn't boring. There is a quick pace to it, quite a bit of action, and the tension of an ever-present threat. But there's a suspension of belief I feel I'm supposed to buy into on Peacemaker's part that just doesn't seem pragmatic. The idea that anyone who understands the situation they're placed in can not only listen to Christopher Smith, but also TRUST him, is faulty at best. Read Full Review

Thompson continues a great run on Suicide Squad with issue #3. The crossover with Teen Titans this early in the series is kinda annoying but Thompson manages it well with fun and interesting character moments. This is turning out to be a good line-up for the Squad and while I know this team often is a revolving door, I hope it lasts for a while. I'm also enjoying the running gag of introducing new characters each issue only to kill them off right away.

Love the team dynamic, action, and art in this story. This issue has great chemistry and banter between the characters.

The funniest part of this book is the fact that Robbie Thompson has shit out so many bot OC cannon-fodder just to kill them within 3 panels. The one exception to this is Culebra, who is essentially a mouthpiece for the DC subreddit. Peacemaker is nuts and I love it, though this Teen Titans cross-over seems completely unnecessary this early on (RIP trade readers).

I liked this. I'm starting to find Culebra annoying though. I will say that the art is really good. Almost too good for a Suicide Squad book.

I can dig this. Good team dynamic, absolutely fantastic art and some genuine fun to be had. Again I'm really digging this bolt character and we know thanks to the future state where she will end up, but regardless its fun to see a little tie in with the Titans book.

I think this series has been getting better. I thought the first issue almost lost me in way but, last issue was pretty good and do was this. Its not gonna change your life but, you'll have fun.

Obviously the Squad has had heroes and hero-types before, but I don’t know, it seems really stupid to keep actively kidnapping them? The whole point with previous hero or hero-coded team members was that they were like tortured and shit. They had emotional baggage that led to them joining and staying with the Squad. Not just... literally being kidnapped. Heroes aren’t going to rouse themselves to liberate villains who could very easily be lying to them about why they’re on the Squad. They absolutely will in order to rescue a kidnapped hero. It’s a dumb plan! There are speedster villains! Also you already have a Superboy! Who is a massive liability! I hate heroes! Keep them off the Squad!

There are good things here, like the characters, they all have their own personalities and that's great. The colours are also good. The only thing bothering me os Red X, he looks like of the nothing characters Tynion created in his Batman run.
