Everything gets tied up neatly, the cold war comes into play, using the politics of the time to enhance the storyline and make it feel - I assume - more immediate at the time of publication. It's even timely now, with the Russian hack during the elections, but we're not in the cold war right now. ...
I manage to miss the first issue - or couple of issues - of each storyline. I go by the covers, and managed not to pay that much attention each time, I guess. Sighs. Anyway, I think this proves a point I made a long time: readers can jump in at any point. If you make the story so convoluted t...
Maybe it really is shallow. Maybe I just like the costumes? Then again, this has a little more of the things I like: how messed up the Bronze Tiger has become, some promise of some really messed up things going on with Deadshot. (Thanks for the recommendation, Tigus. I spoiled myself far ear...
Is quite telling. He threatens to kill Captain Boomerang, who thought he was doing Lawton a favor. He also insists that he's not called Lawton in the suit, and wears it with the hole in the forehead. The hole he made when he killed the man using his suit. Even the psychiatrist insists tha...
I think this tells me something about Ostrander and Yale: how much of an influence she was on this series. I knew because Ostrander himself has said so, but there's knowing and having the point illustrated. This is illustrating the point, to me. It's all Suicide Squad, but not as much as t...
I was looking for the issue where Ducard sends back Deadshot's costume - and I found it. I also spoiled myself quite a bit searching for this issue, before asking Tigus for help. I just wanted to see this scene in particular, and with the 60% off DC sale, this was too good an opportunity to pass u...
Well, as far as the Dragon's Hoard is concerned. Concludes neatly, although with the same issues I had as before. Miss the costumes, miss the old Squad - sans Oracle - but am conflicted as I also love what she brings to this series.
The thing about this particular issue is that things come together quite nicely. The Squad can often have different teams working in different places. In fact, I'd say it's more common than them all being in the same place at once, unless they're holed up in Belle Reve. However, the last issue...
For some reason, I thought this was three issues instead of three, so I was thrown into the middle of the story. To the credit of both writers, I never felt truly lost, and I had a whole lot of fun, despite my own boneheaded buying decision. This is also going to be a short, possibly incoheren...
