It was pretty awesome but I don't believe this Ending, I can't accept it.

Devastated by the loss of team leader Deadshot who sacrificed himself for his secret lover, Harley, the Suicide Squad must now contend with the return of the Joker, determined to battle Batman and punish Harley for her infidelity.

Puaj, el Joker me cae más mal cada que le veo.

3 1/2
Quería leer este comic ya desde antes y entonces faltaba poco para el estreno de la película y dije ¿por qué no? En fin, no sabía que esperar pero si tenía expectativas hacia Harley Quinn, uno de mis personajes favoritos en cuanto a comics, y pues no salí decepcionada. Eso sí, una Harley más seria que como la leí/vi antes– con un inicio diferente.

También debo decir que El Diablo me encantó, se me hizo muy interesante. Y después la historia en general un poco MEH; no un gran inicio. Continuaré con los siguientes volúmenes a ver qué pasa.

Thanks to Batwoman, I'm spending more time at the Comic Shop and this series keeps catching my eye. The premise is that jailed super villians are coerced into joining a secret/black ops group that works under the direction of the government on missions that the government will, of course, deny all knowledge of if they are caught. In return their sentences are reduced, if they survive. Kind of like Mission Impossible - with crazy-ass super villians who have questionable morals and sanity.

This is a pretty dark series - with a mounting body count (there is no Batman rule of no killing when you are a super villian). I was never a big DC fan when I read comics when I was younger, so most of the villians are unknown to me but I'm picking things up quickly. I love Harley Quinn - and not just because of the bustier. She's absolutely nuts. 

There is very little background - the story starts with a bang and each chapter moves at a pretty fast pace. There aren't any heroes in this one - the one "superhero" is more of a vigilante and has no qualms about killing bad guys. I'm not sure if there will be too many redemption arcs in this series. :)

I read the graphic novel in one night and plan to pick up the series where it left off. I will read it again and then formulate more of an opinion, but for now I'm thinking 3.5 to 4 ... leaning to 4 because I like the dark tone of the storylines.
