Absolute Z to the 4's Profile

Another thrilling masterpiece by John Layman! How does he do it?!!?!

When you have as much fun reading this as I did, this could just as well be a 10.0.

FINALLY! There were glimmers in the writing last month, and now here it is: a well-written Harley Quinn book with excellent art.

Matteo Lolli's art is great. Clean and expressive. Possibly better than his extensive work at Marvel.

I guess people forgot Sami Basri's art on the last Harley Quinn series, the one that ran for 75 issues, but this is a lot like the beautiful art Ba FINALLY! There were glimmers in the writing last month, and now here it is: a well-written Harley Quinn book with excellent art.

Gets a 4.0 thanks to the backup which isn't great but is readable.

As for the main story, no comic has ever left me feeling this stupid. The artwork leaves me lost, the plot and dialog confused. It all goes right over my head. I have a feeling everything is actually quite simple, but obscured due to art I find difficult to understand despite the use of shading and some tones, and dialog Gets a 4.0 thanks to the backup which isn't great but is readable.

Cringey dialogue, confused artwork, a lackluster plot, horrible characterization, blatant queerbaiting, unsubtle meta commentary that misses the mark, and a tie-in that is in its penultimate issue and has yet to tie into the very event it is a part of, all combine to make such a waste of everyone's time

I'm loving this series and I really liked this issue. I specially like, that despite being in essence an issue where we stop and take a look at our characers before they start their respective journeys (so basically a setup chapter) it still manages to maintain the tension and the sense of dread that they may not come out of this.

Otto Schmidt's art is terrific as usual. But I don't agree with the reviewers who say the artwork is seamlessly shared. Daniele Di Nicuolo drew nine of the 22 pages - the scenes with Batgirl in and right outside of Hugo Strange's lab, and then on the boat with Supergirl, Steel and Black Manta. And while the static panels are okay, his scratchy manga style often meant incomprehensible action. Batgi Otto Schmidt's art is terrific as usual.

6 for the interior art - not a great showing by Bengal

3 for the storytelling. Seems this writer can't write, and I guess her editor can't read. Or thinks the resolution involving a wage inequity message overcame the otherwise weak storytelling.

This would be 4.5 but I'll bump it to 5.5 because of another superb cover by Jeff Dekal.

I really love how this issue opens, feels very respectful and proud about DC's history. The art is amazing too. Jon trying to assemble a new League was the best part for me. I can see this character becoming a good Superman easily. However... This reminds me how Jon already having this level of responsibilities feels wrong and forced. Kara should be the one taking Clark's place. I feel somew I really love how this issue opens, feels very respectful and proud about DC's history. The art is amazing too.

Stephen Segovia is a superb artist, but his pages look rough and unfinished to me in spots, especially the major action scenes.

Howard Porter, on the other hand, while not usually one of my favorites, lent an appropriate horror vibe to his five epilogue pages that came across great.

I can see why this book is being canceled. Sales are pretty low, huh? There are more sock puppet accounts astroturfing this than there are people reading. You can tell how they all use the same writing style. Very similar to a certain account that got banned for perverted and unspeakable deeds.

I put off reading each issue longer and longer. Finally got to this.

With his art, Rossmo seems to be daring DC to fire him or cancel the book, and he's probably just going to continue on this determined trajectory until it happens. It's like he's shaking his head with laughter that DC is still paying him for this, and laughing that anyone can tolerate looking at this.

Reads like you would expect a single story written by 4 separate teams of writers would read.

I found nothing enjoyable about this. Stilted speech, over-the-top characterizations, tedious character interactions, and awkward transitions as the writers didn't quite sync up.

Mostly, it was boring. This is not an island I'd be in a hurry to visit.

Seems more like a cash grap than anything else. Too long, too expensive, and too chaotic.

So much time spent with Task Force X characters we've never even seen before - I have no idea who any of the new ones are and no reason to care. They don't even get named, but they do get dialog.

So - nothing for anyone. Suicide Squad readers? Too much Task Force X that we don't know and Seems more like a cash grap than anything else. Too long, too expensive, and too chaotic.

Schizophrenic event, and not in the fun Final Crisis type way. Cast is starting to get unmanageable, the pacing is terrible, and the art is mediocre. This version of the Syndicate is very uninteresting. Fucking mid book.

I've read this whole run of Suicide Squad and this issue was just not good.

The Before/Now/Before/Now/Before/Now structure was especially pointless and did nothing but make the story a slog to get through. Each time I saw another time hop, I just steamed to myself "What? Again!" Is this supposed to make a bad story more interesting?

Dennis Hopeless has brought this book down. Still love you Robbie Thompson. You too Eduardo & Dexter; ya'll need to get put on bigger books because you definitely have the talent.

Red X: "Oh. you were so confident we'd come to the end... but this was just the beginning. For you and the rest of your little flock. What's left of it."

Oh wait, I think that's Tim Sheridan speaking, not Red X, and he's talking to us the readers, or what little is left of the readership. Fools who thought this would be a satisfying reveal and ending.
