This Youtube channel Cimicbookcast2 do these really good and comprehensive reviews in under 3 minute long videos. As you'll see this book still very much sucks and has nothing going for it for fans of the original series from the old DCU. Issue 23 concludes ales kot's 3 issue run on the series but I'm confident that the writing for this shitty book will continue to offer zero satisfaction for fans of the real Suicide Squad.

Ha! Nice find, Ben. This chap has a very sardonic tone, doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteyeah i love that kind of sarcastic humor, especially when it comes to stuff that sucks.
DeleteI stopped reading venom, both x-force..all avengers...green lantern and arrow..plus a couple of other titles....like I said before ..maybe not here this will never be a Johnny o squad or even tails 6 ...but I love me some suicide squad....I would read deadshot in a scooby doo mission ...cuz I love your blog ...but chill ..at least there's a task x title ...kots had it going in the right direction ...lets hope it continues with the new writer....I mean ..think about it ...would you rather read a lame ass superman book teamed with whoever if they cancel this title ..or stick with the squad until they get back on track?
ReplyDeletefirst of all i appreciate the kind words about this blog. which you might say is on suicide watch these days. i actually embraced this new series when it first came out and really enjoy it for the first 3 issues. but then they kinda fucked us at the end of issue #4. it's not to say that the next few issues didn't have anything good in them but the end of issue #4 was the beginning of a continuity of crap that really started to piss me off. i finally dropped the title at issue #10 and every review of the issues since then has not made me regret that decision. i just don't care about anyone or anything going on in this book. everyone including Waller and Harley could be killed off in the next issue and i wouldn't care because for me the Suicide Squad was over when the old DCU came to an end. if this title has something going for it you like i won't hold it against you but just speaking for my self i think it sucks and i have no reason to believe at this time that's ever gonna change.

ReplyDeleteLame video reviews anyway this book even through its worst is still one of the best out there ..to me only new x-men, walking dead..daredevil..aquaman..are sparking my intrest more ...but that's me ...the squad is the shit! !!! could be better but cant complain to much ...waited a long time for a squad title
ReplyDeleteIs it strange when the most pressing question I have about a Suicide Squad book is...Why is Cheetah using a Gatling Gun? Not that Gatling Guns aren't cool. Just...yeah. Sorry. Random thought.
ReplyDeleteI....I...got nothing funny to add. Sorry. I blew my load on today's Memes.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, same old same old, even though the new guy's certainly trying his damndest.
The Squad lives on in back issues. That's where you'll find me. Smoking a fatty and flippin through yesteryear:)
You know, DC just ruined Stormwhatch, rewriting everything in a sceond on issue 20, why don't they rewrite SS.?
ReplyDelete"once upon a time someone killed whoever, and so this SS never existed"?
Give me a break on the english please, I'm counting too much on the spelcheck these days, but this is an old computer :/
ReplyDeletedon't worry Aliera we understand you just fine. speaking for myself i really don't care about anything going on in DC anymore. i'm sure there's still some decent books out there among the new stuff like Red Hood and The Outlaws. but none of it is worth it to me as far as taking up collecting again on a monthly basis especially when you consider tie-ins. for all that money i want to read stuff i'm really into like i was in the Ostrander Suicide Squad series and that's just not going to happen with the current DCU. my money would be better put to use to buying the good DCU animated movies like recently with Justice League: Flash Point Paradox.
