Deadshot has been out of the spotlight since the demise of Suicide Squad in theaters. Floyd has made quite of a name for himself over the years and he defiantly deserves a spot in Batman's Rogues Gallery. This is one of five statues for this multi part collectibles piece. Deadshot is sporting his classic outfit […]
(DC Comics, creative team: Tom Taylor, Bruno Redondo, Adriano Lucas, Wes Abbott) When the idea of "triple crosses" seem quaint and uncomplicated, you know you're in for a book with something special going on. A deception has been perpetrated against Lok, the angry new handler of Task Force X, and the legacy members (King Shark, […]
(DC Comics, creative team: Tom Taylor, Bruno Redondo, Adriano Lucas, Wes Abbott) There are surprises large and small in this very clever, very mean spirited issue. The Squad's new boss Lok makes Amanda Waller look friendly and considerate by comparison as he sends them unapologetically to interfere in the sovereign affairs of a foreign country. […]

In the fast-paced world of film and entertainment reporting, sometimes the stories are like the points in Whose Line Is It Anyway– they just don't matter (or often make sense, until someone explains them). We're lookin at YOU, The Suicide Squad. Let us put it this way- no one can decide if the James Gunn written and directed The […]

Now that the second-longest continuous writer at Marvel Comics, Brian Michael Bendis, has signed an exclusive deal with DC Comics, everything he ever said anywhere on the internet about DC Comics is up for discussion. Including this great post on his Tumblr from earlier in the year, when asked about the comparative fighting abilities of Batman […]
With some encouragement from Rich Johnston and Mark Seifert, I've decided to take a look back at comics I've reviewed from time to time to analyze some interesting themes that they may share or conflict upon. This past week's Superman #28 and Batman #28 both look at war in a way. They approach it in similar […]
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] So, I was going to be done with Batman for now. I've had my fun, let you all know how I feel about the Dark Knight, and was going to just give it a rest until another creative team takes over or there was something worth talking about. Then I heard that Batman […]
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Batman #28 from DC Comics by writer Tom King and artists Mikel Janín and June Chung is the next part in The War of Jokes and Riddles Bat-event, as Bruce continues his post-coital story of his biggest early failure in his career as Batman. This issue features Batman being pushed far enough to […]
The Versus series from DC is usually fun from the fan point of view, pitting heroes or villains against each other that you wouldn't normally see fight. This week's Versus is slightly different in that I think it would make for one hell of a mini-series / graphic novel… I'd happily pay to read a […]

The studio is aggressively moving forward on this project with a script by Ehren Kruger, […]
DC isn't having a good time with their cohesive universe so far. Man of Steel got panned for the violence and off character Superman. Batman v Superman got panned for a lot of different reasons… and what looked like DC's first possible success turned into another panned film, Suicide Squad. Though a few characters have […]
Like they did with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Warner Bros Home Video has been making videos with Jason Inman showing the comic book history of the characters of the Suicide Squad and tying them into the film. These videos would've been helpful prior to the film's theatrical release being that some of the […]
Arrow fans will recognize actor Michael Rowe as Deadshot, long before Will Smith slid on his white helmet. But with Suicide Squad's recent film, the television series killed off their version of Floyd Lawton. So how does this get us to Ninjak? Rowe tweeted the following on the 26th. Secret project. Announcement coming soon… #Ninja@ValiantComics […]
If you look on Rotten Tomatoes, you'll find that the Suicide Squad has a low score with the critics (26%) and a decent score with the fans (72%). This is similar to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice that (27% critics v 65% fans). What can explain the diverse reactions? Could it be something as […]
