Justice League vs. Suicide Squad by Joshua Williamson
4.0
I went camping in sunny old Wales last week, which gave me a lot of time for reading. Sadly, I had no internet or phone signal, and so am having to write all the reviews now. First of all is the collection of comics in Justice League vs. Suicide Squad.
While the Squad are busy dealing with Apex and the stolen Quake Pulsar, Batman and the Justice League are hunting them down. They've decided it's too dangerous to have a team of criminals wandering around, and are insistent on taking them down. Amanda Waller isn't about to let that happen, though!
The League end up imprisoned in Belle Reve, while the original Suicide Squad (Task Force XI) are broken out of prison by Maxwell Lord. With their help, the Heart of Darkness is found, and Eclipso takes hold of the world - including the Justice League.
I always love reading Suicide Squad comics, especially where Harley is prominent - she's probably my favourite character. And it was really interesting to see how Batman and the League eventually work alongside the Squad. The dialogue between them, the little bits of banter that went on throughout the volume, was great. And the comedic tone of the Suicide Squad comics was present throughout, which I really loved.
And then, just to top it all off, we meet Waller's kids at the end. I found the ending pretty intriguing, really. It was definitely interesting to see into Waller's life a bit more, outside of her work.
A really enjoyable novel. Funny and exciting, a strong 4 or even 4.5 stars I think.
