A real shame since he was given a magazine-sized format, but I just have no fucking clue what is happening in some panels. Speaking of the art, Alex Maleev really slacks on it here, with this easily being some of his worst interior work to date. It also took the final issue 8 months to come out, and it was most definitely not worth the wait, especially with how messy the art still is. I was sorta okay with the first two issues but the last one is so fucking mindless and tanks the quality of the book. Besides Jason Todd’s character being written better than it usually is, this book really doesn’t have much going for it. I honestly hate Brian Azzarello, I think most of his work is total shit and this one doesn’t break from that trend. The Suicide Squad-now led by the Red Hood and including Harley Quinn, Firefly, Plastique, Silver Banshee, Wild Dog as well as newcomers Meow Meow, Pebbles, and Yonder Man-must find a way to finally kill the Joker. It's like they decided to make this for mature audiences part way through. But then later on full on F-bombs were being dropped without getting edited out. One thing that I found odd is that Jason Todd's curses were bleeped out at the beginning of the book. It's like looking at a bunch of character sketches that were thrown together with bullet effects added in. It's so static looking and there's no flow from panel to panel. The last half of this is just characters running with no backgrounds and bullets flying everywhere. Maleev fell really behind (It took 8 months for the final issue to come out.) and it shows. Unfortunately that really goes nowhere after the initial shock value.Įven Alex Maleev's art isn't up to his usual standards. He gets a hold of Amanda Waller's Boom Box that allows her to explode Suicide Squad's members' heads. He does do one interesting thing in this that in more capable hands could have been really interesting. He's just a thug backed by Russia to cause chaos.
They are sent on a mission to kill the Joker. It's an Elseworlds story where Red Hood is arrested for murdering criminals and takes over as leader of the Suicide Squad. He makes Wild Dog part of the Insurrection on Jan 6th to get some buzz for the book.īut that's not even the core of the story. Once again, Brian Azzarello mistakes shock value for a good story.
