Suicide Squad: Going Sane Review

Finished reading Suicide Squad: Going Sane, continuing the DC Rebirth series as writer Rob Williams wraps up the story with the Black Vault with the addition of more character driven short stories. The book opens up with the team taking a break after their mission in Russia where they retrieved an item called the Black Vault which has General Zod imprisoned and Amanda Waller plans on release Zod from the vault in hope to make him the newest member of the team. However things don't go according to plan as the open Black Vault starts making everyone in the prison go on a murderous rampage, all except Harley as the the vault as the opposite effect on her as she becomes sane again. The next part of the book features several short stories cantering around team members Hack, Killer Croc, Enchantress and Killer Frost, who's story is used as a precursor to DC's Justice League Vs Suicide Squad event. The last story of the book opens with Harley finding a letter left at her door which tells her about the plans for a Villains Anonymous program which Harley hopes to put into fruition with ManBat being her first patient. Overall this was a good book as writer Rob Williams brings an end to the series first story arc of the series as the staff and inmates of Belle Reve finds themselves at each other's throats. There is some great character development for the shot stories which dive into each character's backstory to the main story having some great character growth with Enchantress and Killer Croc starting to form a relationship. The art throughout the book is great as each character's spotlight story, along with the action of the main story all working incredibly. 7.5/10.
