New Suicide Squad: Kill Anything Review

Finished reading New Suicide Squad: Kill Anything, writer Tim Seeley brings an end to the series as a smaller Suicide Squad hope to escape form Amanda Walker's control only to find themselves in a much more trouble than they first thought. The book opens up shortly after the Squad's mission in Russia at the beginning of the series as two aid workers named Adam and Seraphine come up with the idea of getting their own version of the Suicide Squad. While in the present Amanda Waller is giving a tour of Belle Reve to Dorian Ashemoore who has have come to the prison in hope to see how the Squad works and hope to implement a similar task force in Britain. The team is shortly dispatched to Hong Kong on a mission to prevent an assassination only for the mission to go south with the team being seemingly killed at the scene. The team's death quickly turns out to be a ruse as the aid workers from the beginning of the book helped the Squad to escape from Amanda Waller and takes them to a castle in Germany where the Squad meet with a group of mercs that got them out of the mission in Hong Kong. While in another room overseeing the whole castle Adam reveals himself to be a member of the death cult the Fist of Cain by killing Seraphine and opening the floodgates and allowing the whole cult to storm the castle in hope to kill the Suicide Squad and the team of mercs in hope to gain the most points in the cult. The second story see's writer Sean Ryan come back for a short story the peels behind the layers of Harley's psyche in quite an intriguing way. The last part of the book helps to set up the next Suicide Squad series as writer Rob Williams brings back recurring Suicide Squad character Rick Flag who has not been seen since before DC's New 52 reboot as Flag is back as the field leader of the team. Overall this was a great book as it brings an end to the series with an action packed story at has a great amount of comedy throughout the main story. While the addition of character like the head of the proposed British version of the Suicide Squad, Dorian Ashemoore and the group of mercs helps to bring an element of surprise and unpredictability to the book as writer Tim Seeley gives a couple of these characters an nice amount of development that makes the just as interesting as the main cast members of the book. The artwork throughout the book is great as Juan Ferreyra's art is fantastic as the fight scenes are action pack and have some shockingly great moments. While the paneling in some place are amazingly designed as not only is each character's interactions as show but behind all of the panels is an image of the location which helps to give some perspective of where everyone and everything is. Additionally the rest of the art is good as it captures the tone and feel of the rest of the book. 8/10.
