Suicide Squad: Bad Blood (2021) by Tom Taylor. This graphic novel is a collection of the Squad’s comics 1 to 11. This time the Suicide Squad recruits another team of super villains to join their team after a ferocious battle. But the new team has it’s own agenda.
During the course of the coming mission some members of the larger team die, or are wounded, and the motivations of the team members, both old and new get revealed. Okay, King Shark only has one motivator, that is to eat people, but the others have a greater depth to them, shallow as it might be.
The drawing is, as normal, fantastic, and the inks are the same. The story itself is both wild and imaginative. But there are only so many times you can read that the character’s heads are going to blown off before you wonder why these “super humans” with their skills and motivations don’t turn take matters into their own hands. I know, i know, one of the regular super who do cameos in these tails might have to come in and kick their hienies.
A fun read with some nice plot twists and interesting subplots. ( )

It says Suicide Squad on the cover, but this actually seems to be a backdoor pilot for a new group of terrorists/militant activists called the Revolutionaries.

There's a cute gay couple, but the story is lukewarm at best, with one-dimensional characters bickering and doing nothing much surprising despite several failed attempts to pull off some very predictable and/or unearned twists. Harley Quinn bounces around in a strictly comic relief role while Deadshot mopes and wallows.

I was hoping for better after reading Taylor's DCeased books. ( )
