Story: The Suicide Squad is together again this time being
led by Rick Flag. Amanda Waller sends them to an isolated Russian facility to
uncover the contents of the black vault, an unknown spatial anomaly. As it
always does nothing goes according to plan including Killer Croc almost
chocking on his own vomit. This one is really short they get in they fight the
Russian equivalent of the Suicide Squad get the objective and it really was
funny, I bused out laughing. The second half of this volume is a bit of
background history on the members. I liked it, it was good to know especially
since I am relatively new to comics.
Art: I like Jim Lee I think he did a great job with Scott
Williams and Alex Sinclair for The Black Vault. I love the way the characters
were drawn, Harley is adorable especially in her “REBIRTH” t-shirt; Capt. Boomerang
actually looks intimidating, Deadshot looks weird with his mask open but badass
with it closed, Killer Croc love him so detailed and scary. Overall this was good
eye candy especially the variant covers.
Characters: Amanda Waller, Rick Flag, Katana, Harley Quinn,
Deadshot, Capt. Boomerang, Enchantress, Killer Croc. I love the way Williams
did Harley he showed her crazy side but also how incredibly intelligent she is,
for example Katana and her are fighting a bunch of Russian soldiers and the
whole time Harley is asking her this deep questions and Katana just ignores her
and keeps on killing. I don’t know much about the other characters but I like
the balance between them they all seem to do their share and take turns
fighting the big baddie at the end but yet still kind of self-serving. There is
a new character I like her so far, but it’s only the beginning.
Review: Overall I enjoyed this more than I thought I would.
The movie was just ehh, it had its moments, but this I enjoyed so much more. I
like the established group more than the just throw them together right off the
back, the interaction between the characters was more believable that they know
each other’s strong points and are not surprised at all when Harley tries to
bail on them. It was a good quick read gave me plenty of laughs.
