Carry on for me
As always in this series there is terrific writing, even for characters that have had their histories written and rewritten many times since then. Here of course the series is looking at the Suicide Squad from their service in the Second World War to the Cold War period and finally into the modern day. As usual I feel that Ostrander is an under appreciated writer as he seems to be here, as instead of simply trying to tell the story, he gets in a few jabs at Senator McCarthy and the wave of paranoia which he unleashed. This permeates enough through the book, not enough to belabour the point, but just enough to make it succinctly. Acting as a launch pad for the new Suicide Squad series (which to this point has been the longest) it also serves to introduce some other new characters such s Amanda Waller (though this too is not really canon any more.) A pretty fun issue though and worth a read, though those interested in continuity might want to look elsewhere.
