Issue Eight titled “Personal Files “is a great issue that delves into the back stories of Amanda Waller, Flag, Floyd Lawton, and Digger Harkness and what makes them tick.
Their own personally held beliefs are the catalyst for some of the arguments and disagreements they squabble about while trying to do what they do best. What I really enjoyed about this volume is the tension between the members of the Squad and their own opinions on the missions they get sent on. The players may have changed (for example, Gorbachev in the 80s and Putin today) but the game remains the same. If you turn on the nightly news today, there has been some progress made but racial tension and strife and hatred for America and its citizens still lingers. Rick Flag leading a group of supervillains and antiheroes like Deadshot, Bronze Tiger, the Enchantress, and Captain Boomerang and features missions which include – stopping terrorists before they can unleash death and destruction on American soil, discrediting a right-wing vigilante causing tension between whites and minorities, and rescuing a political prisoner from a gulag in Moscow and helping them defect to the West. This lineup of the Squad is a classic one with Col. It’s a look at the ills of society at home and how the rest of the world views America. It’s a history lesson on the geopolitical quagmires of the day with U.S and Soviet relations. You might think a comic series from the late 1980s might be outdated in some fashion, but this volume holds up surprisingly well. Ostrander’s Suicide Squad is a legendary run that many comic book readers and reviewers have heaped praise on for years and I wanted to get a firsthand look at this version of Task Force X. Seeing how it was going to be renewed for the dreaded third time, I made it a priority to read it this past week and I’m real glad that I did so. I checked out Suicide Squad: Trial by Fire and I wanted to read it before I went home for Christmas, but I didn’t get a chance to do so.
If I see a book about to be renewed a third or fourth time, I return the book to the library, knowing I can request it later. The library system auto renews the books themselves, which is a godsend.
Artists – Luke McDonell, Bob Lewis, Karl Kesel, and Dave Huntĭo you ever panic read? I check out books and graphic novels from the local library once and awhile.
