It’s about supervillans so its dark gritty and gory. The artwork in this was average it did seem a bit inconsistent with Harley's appearance, but at least it wasn't too distracting.Īs I’ve said a few times before I’m new to reading graphic novels and comics, so some of these characters I’m coming in with little to no knowledge of their pasts. It makes me want to continue the series with more motivation than I had previously. It was quick but not forced, and I didn't feel like I was missing something. This issue did a great job at setting up the Suicide Squad (really, the movie should have done it more like this issue). The backstories weren't unnecessarily drawn-out, and the emotions were still there. Unlike the movie, which tried to get the backstories all out of the way at the beginning, this story held my interest more at the start. The in media res beginning was really good, and then getting into the individual backstories later was beneficial. Either way, I'm glad this first issue was included in this year's Free Comic Book Day so I had more drive to read it. I'm not sure if I waited to start this series because of that, or because I already just really love the Amanda Conner Harley Quinn series and am sucked into that storyline more. Though I enjoyed the Suicide Squad movie well enough, we all know it had many flaws.
