    Running Out of Characters

    Adam Glass has been really harsh on the Squad for the past four issues. At the end of issue number four we knew it was just going to get harder. However, we all know that Harley Quinn is going to be fighting the Squad. Does this issue lead up nicely? 
     
    THE GOOD:
    I think that art is okay. It's very clean and there is a few details in the back of the pages. I think that all the characters look different and I really enjoy how the action looks in this. I also like how the emotion is in this book. It feels real to me. The story is simple enough but there is something that is going to come from it that will be no simple task. I really liked seeing Black Spider kicking peoples butts. I also really think that Diablo shined bright in this issue. I also think that Amanda Waller was showing more of her 'strong girl' in this issue. I also really liked the Deadshot deal they had here. It makes him seem more human then ever.
     
    THE BAD:
    I really wish that we got to see a little more of Harley Quinn. I think that these were the issue that we needed to see how she knows about the Joker and why all of a sudden she cares. I also don't really know why Killer Shark went all crazy. If you read the issue you'll know what I'm talking about.
     
    THE VERDICT: 4/5 (Great)
    This book has some high class villains in it. That is why I'm surprised how expandable the characters. I like the character but you can't help but feel that he or she could be shot and die any second and I think that is a great thing to have in this kind of book. I'm excited where this is going to go and I think that people should be reading this.

      It's Just Been Revoked 0

      I have plenty to say about this issue, but a lot of it is glossed over by a cardinal sin against a certain favorite character of mine who's already suffered plenty in the New 52. Now, if you recall, when the series began, I revoked Amanda Waller's name privileges, because DC removed everything that made her 'The Wall.' Not just the weight, but any semblance of intimidation. Thus she became 'Amanda Er.' Then two issues ago I awarded her an extra 'l' towards her old name, but I'm instantly revokin...

      There have been in the history of cinema a few real time movies, where the action unfolds at the exact same pace as the person watching it experiences it.  In terms of comics though, I am not sure if such an approach has ever been attempted before, or at least one which happened in such a way appreciably.  Anyway assuming that it takes around 10 minutes to read a comic (though probably a little less) then this occurs almost exclusively in real time as the Squad has ten minutes to stop the prison...
