Man, this was super fun. I’ve never really liked/cared about the Suicide Squad, but this was a really good story with fantastic art. I hope Taylor does more limited series like this.

A shockingly tight and engaging book, perhaps the first really excellent SUICIDE SQUAD book since John Ostrander. Bruno Redondo's design for new characters is delightful, incorporating a few distinctive body types and a nonbinary character, and Taylor has managed to wrestle with the politics of a black-ops crime team without letting it overwhelm the story. This is a fast-paced adventure with genuine character growth, solid banter, and excellent action.

If you are a fan of the Suicide Squad, you will most likely enjoy this comic! There are cameos from former members like Captain Boomerang, and there are also new members that are different from many other renditions of the team beforehand-this is a group of revolutionaries. This is not a group of villains working off their debt to society, they are a leftist group that wants to make the world better. They are dynamic, with characters that range from multiple ethnic and racial backgrounds, and many of them are queer as well. It’s a very diverse team, lead by fan favorites- Harley Quinn and Deadshot.
Fans of Deadshot will appreciate the issues where his daughter will make appearances. There is also an issue where the Flash makes an appearance. The newer characters fit in great with the larger DC universe and I hope to see them appear in more comics. The Aerie and Flick already have, but I want to see Osita and Thylacine and Chaos Kitten more.
If you don’t like politics in your comics, I would not recommend, but as I am someone who doesn’t mind, it doesn’t affect my rating or how I feel about the book.

This was a fun read. Nothing profound, and I didn’t really expect that, but definitely enjoyable! And unique enough of a Suicide Squad story to keep things interesting.
The art was decent, the story was decent, the character interactions were fun. Overall it was a solid read!

Como tebeo sobre un concepto tan loco como Escuadrón Suicida, no le puedes pedir más. Además de que huye bastante del cinismo que suelen tener las historias en torno a estos antihéroes. Me ha recordado, para bien, a la película de Gunm.

At the current moment this is listed as only the first six issues despite there being a collection coming out with all 11 issues.
So at the moment this is only a review for the first six issues.
And they are incredible.
Hilarious and touching. Just a great title all around.
It smartly only has a few returning characters with a mostly new cast so anyone can go (mostly). Taylor and Redondo are great together.
5 stars.

Taylor reinvigorates the Task Force X concept by (literally, in some cases) blowing it up. I look forward to seeing where the Revolutionaries turn up next.
