Suicide Squad: Kill Your Darlings Review

Finished reading Suicide Squad: Kill Your Darlings, writer Rob Williams continues the Suicide Squad’s fight against the organisation called the People who plan on bring Task Force X into their fold. The book opens with Amanda Waller arriving in Washington DC to a hearing where congress have questions for Waller over the events of Justice League vs Suicide Squad. Meanwhile in Bulgaria the Suicide Squad head to a facility with the hope to gain more information on the People and find there boss Karla. After the hearing Waller soon finds herself captured by the head of the People Karla. who tells her of his plan for his own Task Force X on a more worldwide scale which he seemingly gets Waller to agree with. Overall this was a good book as brings an end to the overarching storyline that began at the beginning of the series with the organisation known as the People’s plan is finally revealed. The current team dynamic within the book is extremely interesting and well written as placing Harley Quinn as the leader of the team leads to some surprising directions and twists with how she is a a leader. While the way it affects each team member becomes a very intriguing part to the book when everyone beings to fight each other with how they deal with the situations they find themselves in and the order they’re getting from Harley and Waller. The book also does a nice job in having some call backs to the Justice League Vs Suicide Squad story with how Amanda Waller is being brought to a hearing by the American government while also having developed countermeasures against the heroes the DC universe which leads to the Squad going after Killer Frost later in the book which also brings Batman into the fray which leads to an interesting conflict. The art throughout the book is great as it puts a nice amount of focus into the action scenes with how well each of the characters powers and abilities are on show while also putting a great amount of detail into the characters interactions that makes some of the conversations just as suspenseful as the action. 7.5/10.
