Who can guide a more extreme Suicide Squad?
Jason has suddenly found himself in the mid of team full of undead villains to stop people who might be just as dangerous as them.
I was personally looking forward to anything different from the current terrible Suicide Squad book and the idea of having yet another DC Zombie title seemed interesting after being disappointed with a lot of Tom Taylor's recent work. Unfortunately, I don't think is the best title to fix those issues.
Matthew Rosenberg offers an alternate story where quite a few of Gotham City's criminals have been turned into living dead creatures and this actually follows a logical path for the team due that Task Force/Suicide Squad has an history with using and even resurrecting their members depending of the needs of the Government.
This idea could have potential if only the execution was more interesting at the very least. Rosenberg doesn't do a bad job per se but does the bare minimum to make a Zombie book with well-known characters, meaning that "Oh, are they monsters or are they not?", an idea that a book like Marvel Zombies has done better more than a decade ago, not to mention that the constant repetition of the "monsters" word doesn't make things any less tedious.
About the plot, is barely there which is funny since I don't feel is necessarily lacking in content but most of such content is focused on characterization and since that's not particularly engaging, I guess that makes the issue seems a little shallow as a whole.
Eddy Barrows handles the art and he's fine artist usually but the storytelling here is not the best with panels not following a logical sequence and some of them even repeating themselves to fill-up space.
Not really promising, not sure if I will continue.
