Vol.1 was awesome, sadly vol. 2 was a complete let down. I'm not sure I'll bother with vol.3 now. Disappointing.
This second volume continued an awesome story, which added further depth due to the helpful edition of issue #0 at the end; this gives a kind of background, not exactly origin story, of Amanda Waller and why she set out to create an expendable black ops group.
This volume definitly had a feel of Avenger's Hail Hydra with the tone it decided to take and I love that we're now starting to see threads leading into other, more complex and sinister storylines than just the great, but still basic, plot of crimminals undertaking life-threatening missions, just because they have to. However, the outcome of suspicions within the squad was predictable.
The concept and alternate cover art was a beauty to look at and the illustrations throughout the whole piece was just beautiful to look at.
The writing, of course, was super well done. Adam Glass, I recently found out, is the writer and producer of the TV show Supernatural and if he can re-write an already beloved series successfully , it gives me more of a drive to check out (the uber long and ongoing?) series.
Just another great comic bind-up I'm happy to have read.
Pick it up, give it a go and enjoy!! >(^_^)<

Actual rating: 3.5
This was not on the same level as 'Kicked in the Teeth' at all, but I did still enjoy it. The plot twists kept the story entertaining for me and probably contributes to the happy feelings I have for this graphic novel.
The lack of Harley hurt me, and um where are the other female squad members?!? Take your exponential rates of testosterone and move this dick party somewhere else please I want some women that don't get killed off almost immediately.

Same as review of volume 1 only this time with sleeper agents, and ancient Mayan cannibals, TWIST. Maybe I am crazy for thinking a graphic novel written in 2013 should have a more complex (and original!) plot than Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D. from 1988.

Overall enjoyed it. I liked going deeper into it and seeing the beginnings of some characters.
Suicide Squad
4.5/5 stars
I binge read the first and second trade one after another and I love this series as well as this team I think it's downfalls for me this time around though was that there was barley any Harley whatsoever and I'm not sure how I feel about the main villain.
But I'll tell you, that ending where Deadshot sacrifices himself for Harley killed me. I ship them insanely hard.

Ah, we are starting to get a main storyline in this, and a couple of new character arcs.
Not a bad album, but it took me a little to get into it.
Also fun to get a new view of Waller.
