3.0

While not as fun and insane as the first volume I still found myself enjoying this one. This time Mantis, Deadshot, and Boomrang are all on a mission to go undercover to take out a new "cult" clan that broke off from the League of Shadows. Harley, Reverse Flash, and Prasite are all on duty too as backup incase things go bad. So...things go bad. Lots of shit happens. And things explode. Sounds like Suicide Squad to me!

What I liked: Art still solid. I really enjoy the moments with Deadshot and Mantis, or any of the characters really taking together. They have fun, make fun of each other, and this makes the chemistry always entertaining if nothing else. I also enjoyed the ending and thought it was kind of brave to kill off a character. Their death was actually pretty well done too. Even villains can do heroic things sometimes.

What I didn't like: The plot was really weak. The league were terrible villains. I didn't care about any of them. Also Mantis was kind of acting out of character for me. I just didn't buy the sudden change...it felt forced.

Overall I still had a lot of fun with this volume. Still better than any other suicide squad comic I read. I hear Sean Ryan leaves soon. That makes me sad. I'm going to miss the dialog banter between everyone. Oh well, I'll enjoy it while it last.
