Suicide Squad #2

graphiccasualfreak's Suicide Squad #2 - When the Levee Breaks review

Another great cover and the issue...

Ryan Benjamin has drawn an excellent cover. The actual issue is pretty good. Better than #1. You get some nice conversations between the villains. But Adam Glass is still under the assumption that we, as readers, feel sorry for these folks. I'm not entirely sure there would ever be a case where I would feel sorry for Deadshot... What is the message of this series,"There is no greater evil than the government?"

I dunno, but this series needs a real direction. It reminds me of some of the old Marvel books where they would wander around with a team of heroes for a few issues just doing missions for Shield or something. I don't think these characters have that kind of mileage.

I kind of like of the idea, but they are going to need someone with REAL chops to pull this off.

This might just be my personal tastes, but I have always liked the darker heroes and am always intrigued when heroes take lives. This team is much like Marvel's current Thunderbolts team, but more black ops. Not only does the team comprise convicted criminals, it also tries it's best to keep the team out of sight. The premise of this book seems exciting to me. The execution however falls short of what could be spectacular.This particular issue puts our "heroes" in a live field mission. The missi...
