Some thoughts about New Suicide Squad #9

The Suicide Squad will need to change their beliefs to be successful.

Deadshot, Captain Boomerang and Black Manta have been assigned for a new mission that could make them even worse than what they currently are and they will have no choice but accept it.

This is yet another new direction for the title and is frankly one of the weaker ones.

Sean Ryan remains as the writer and sadly his work hasn't progressed a lot. The dialogue can still get heavyhanded at times repeating many of the words to get to the point, you won't subtle here.

Worst of all, Deadshot is portrayed as total buffoon. While Lawton always had a dark sense of humour (although that was mostly created by Gail Simone since John Ostrander originally wrote him more serious), he was never a complete dork who decided to make silly jokes everytime. It's hard to take him seriously.

The story itself is nothing really spectacular and frankly ends in a pretty lackluster cliffhanger. Not excited for the next chapter.

Philippe Briones handle the pencils and his work is actually very good at storytelling, not particularly beautiful but it definitely depicts the script nicely.

Pretty lackluster issue overall. Hope that we get a good Suicide Squad title before the movie arrives.
