Suicide Squad Vol. 1: The Black Vault
Reviews

I actually read (and own) one of the issues in this volume already, but reading them all together like this was a lot better. So this is obviously following the Suicide Squad, a group of villains and criminals pulled together by Amanda Waller. Their mission, under the code name Task Force X, is to remove some galactic matter from within Russian grounds. When introducing the members, Waller adds some humorous details on them. I really liked the little details thrown in throughout. And the relationships between the different characters are pretty good, too. On this misson, they acquire Hack and end up running into General Zod and tons of other evil dudes. Not to mention the huge army of Russian dudes attacking them from the outside... I absolutely love Harley in this. She's a great character! But I like how several characters have their backgrounds pulled forward, too, including Harley. I always really enjoy finding out about their pasts, and what made them who they are now. This volume includes the backstory of Katana, Harley, Deadshot, and Captain Boomerang. I think this is one of my favourite volumes of comics. The characters are awesome, the fight scenes are great - and the art is amazing. I think it deserves 5 stars.
