Gritty, Gory, Dark, and Fun… I hope to get the next one soon.Cover of Suicide Squad (vol. Knowing a little about DC and super villains I came into it expecting gore ,dark story line and dark humor. Thats the only thing I thought was negative. Its just when I picture her I picture her with a little more class. By all means draw them how you see fit I’m here for the story. It has nothing to do with me thinking that all women shouldn’t be drawn scantily clad. I was trying to find a nice way of saying I don’t care for oversexed way Harley Quinn looked I much prefer her older look that I saw on the cover of Harely Quinn Hot in the City or even back to the bodysuit. I’d like to know what happens to him because at the end the predicament he got himself into at the beginning still sounded unresolved. Harley Quinn’s story is mostly covered and it was interesting to see how her and Joker came to be.

I think the storyline was wonderful and intriguing. I was kind of shocked how they seemed to throw away a couple super villains but bad guys are bad guys so back stabbing was going to happen.

you get a touch of their pasts and their individual personalities. It’s about supervillans so its dark gritty and gory. The artwork in this was average it did seem a bit inconsistent with Harley's appearance, but at least it wasn't too distracting.Īs I’ve said a few times before I’m new to reading graphic novels and comics, so some of these characters I’m coming in with little to no knowledge of their pasts. It makes me want to continue the series with more motivation than I had previously.

It was quick but not forced, and I didn't feel like I was missing something. This issue did a great job at setting up the Suicide Squad (really, the movie should have done it more like this issue). The backstories weren't unnecessarily drawn-out, and the emotions were still there. Unlike the movie, which tried to get the backstories all out of the way at the beginning, this story held my interest more at the start. The in media res beginning was really good, and then getting into the individual backstories later was beneficial. Either way, I'm glad this first issue was included in this year's Free Comic Book Day so I had more drive to read it. I'm not sure if I waited to start this series because of that, or because I already just really love the Amanda Conner Harley Quinn series and am sucked into that storyline more. Though I enjoyed the Suicide Squad movie well enough, we all know it had many flaws.
