Suicide Squad #7

monkeytoe's Suicide Squad #7 - The Hunt for Harley Quinn, Conclusion review

Suicide Squad: B-

Over all, I have been enjoying the Suicide Squad comics. This most recent issue has some things I really like, but also some things I am not so hot on.

The Good

I am becoming a real Deadshot fan. This character is lethal and smart and unlike his teammates like Savant, he is not psychotic, which makes him all the more deadly. It was a real treat watching him take in stride the fact that Harley drapes the Joker's skinned face across him and use Harley's weakness against her as he works himself free. The smarts on this character make him more deadly than other would be assassins like Savant because he is less likely to be tricked into standing on a land mine.

The Bad

I have also been a big fan of Harley in this series, but I don't think their origin for her has done her justice. She is fanatical and psychotic but the explanation of it being because of a bad day at the office? Lame. I'm all about the angle of a psychiatrist being driven to madness by the patients, but being driven insane because you have a bad boss? Meh. Also, the book seems to suffer a bit from the fact that it is an ensemble book. We don't get a lot of information on characters before they are executed and even some of the staple members we are still in the dark about, ala Kind Shark.

Still it is an enjoyable read. 3.5/5

The backgrounds is also pretty detailed and it makes the world feel more real. The story in this is continuing on from last months issue. We get to see some of the characters cause distractions because they are a secret team. I really like that because some stealth teams, don't worry about that. I really like the ending of this i...

Banner. Ick. Leave it as a corner. Blue clashes a bit with the red. Getting lazy about this. Overall though, this is a really solid cover. The background's DANGEROUSLY close to being phoned in, but manages to be just moody enough to scoot by. The solo focus on a single moment doesn't always work, but in this case it does, because you spend the entire issue wondering if it was just a cool image, or an actual event.Sigh. Suicide Squad has got to be the most erratic of the New 52. Seriously, I've g...
