Suicide Squad #2

There’s a mission to complete, it’s dangerous, and someone will die. That is the premise of this issue of Suicide Squad and it does not disappoint. Picking up right where the previous issue left off, our band of ne’er do wells are in a desperate situation and Amanda Waller is left to deal with a mysterious woman who may prove to be both an ally and a nemesis. This is an action packed issue that lays heavy on the throttle and doesn’t let up even at the end, providing any fan with more than enough entertainment to hold them over until the next exciting issue.
As the Squad fights for its life after a disastrous crash over the Arctic, Amanda Waller is left to deal with the mysterious government operative, Harcourt. Despite Harcourt’s claims that she just wants to see the Squad in action, Waller is quick to sense that something else is up with the enigmatic female. Perhaps she would have explored this more had the Squad’s mission not turned to chaos at that exact moment with their crash landing leading the NSA operative to surmise that she is only going to get to “watch the suicide squad die firsthand” however little does she know that this team thrives in chaos. After a combination of mutant strength and rocket boomerangs, the squad finds themselves inside the Russian base and one step closer to retrieving the mysterious “cosmic item” from the ominous sounding “black vault”. As they go further and further into the facility, picking up allies along the way, the tension grows as we wonder who will be the member that pays the ultimate price.
Rob Williams continues his impressive run with a thoroughly entertaining issue and Jim Lee’s art remains some of the best in the industry. This issue also includes a backup story focusing on a single member of the squad, exploring their personality, motivations, and how it was that they came to be a member of Task Force X. If the first two issues are anything to go off of, these backups are the deserts in an action packed meal. They allow Rob Williams to explore the depths of these characters without slowing down or getting in the way of the main story, which continues to be one of the most exciting offerings DC is currently putting out. Although it may be too early to declare this to be one of the successes of DC’s Rebirth, Suicide Squad is definitely a title that will leave you entertained and clamoring for the next issue. Pick this issue up today and you will not be disappointed.
