Finished reading New Suicide Squad: Monsters, continuing writer Sean Ryan's run on the series the team of Task Force X find themselves infiltrating a terrorist organisation in hope to stop it from the inside. The book opens up with the small team of Captain Boomerang, Harley Quinn and Black Manta in a fight with a Russian Red Rocket in Ukraine. The rest of the book continues with the teams main mission of infuriating a terrorist splinter group of the League of Assassins who have made home in a war-torn city outside of Turkey as Amanda Waller and Vic Sage have given Deadshot, Captain Boomerang and Black Manta the mission of infuriating the group for reconnaissance. While the team is infiltrating the splinter group a secondary team consisting of Harley Quinn, Parasite and Reverse-Flash have also been deployed as backup for when the primary team is ready to escape form the group after they have completed the mission. However things don't go according to plan when the group decided to attack a British refinery nearby which leads to the secondary team being prisoners of the group. Overall this was a great book as writer Sean Ryan not only tells a very well action centric story but is also able to pull in some major news headlines of the time to influence the story. There is some great character development for Reverse-Flash and Black Manta who have a couple of great character arcs within the story. While Harley Quinn and Deadshot also have some interesting development as well thanks to the experiences they have within the story. The artwork by Philippe Briones does a great job with the location designs and also being able to an amazing jobs in being able to display different characters emotions extremely well. 8.5/10.
