‘Suicide Squad #3’ (review)

Written by Robbie Thompson
Art by Eduardo Pansica
Published by DC Comics

 

This has been an interesting run thus far on this title.

The stories have been very different and kind of out there. I am somewhat enjoying it but it does tend to get a bit nutty for no good reason at times.

When it does, the book loses a little something for me.

Unfortunately, this issue is a crossover with Teen Titans Academy. I am not a big fan of that title so that automatically turned this book into a bit of a slog.  The plotline leading up to the two teams meeting is also fairly lame.

So, Task Force X is given the assignment to go after those kids in the Teen Titans Academy.  Apparently, Amanda Waller wants one of the member of the Titans, Bolt.

The Suicide Squad goes after Bolt. They then find themselves up against the Titans who are ready to defend their teammate.

That’s when things get really bad.

Red X gets in the Suicide Squad’s path. That’s when Walker decides that she wants him too! All sorts of battles then follow. It then leads to a pretty awful ending.

The writing is bad but I don’t know how much I can blame writer Robbie Thompson. This feels more like an editorial decision for a crossover. The art is good at least and Pansica does a truly great job making the book look good.

RATING: C
