review 1: Woo – and I thought the last volume was twisted! In Volume 2, Deadshot killed himself while taking out the bad guy, or so it seemed. Volume 3 opens with his funeral and the surprising return of the Joker. He’s here for Harley and he’s none too pleased she got naughty with Deadshot. The first third of the book is their reunion and it pretty much sums up how sick this series is. It also shows that there is much more to Harley than anyone thinks, including Joker. I love that she truly gets the chance to kiss some a@@ in this volume.The rest of the book confirms that death is never a guarantee in the comic book world, for heroes or villains. The Basilisk storyarc continues here as we learn about a character that has the ability to turn off metahumans’ (“super”... more people) powers and everyone wants him! The Squad find themselves in the unusual position of being given the choice to continue the mission or not. Overall, this is an excellent continuation of the series. The characters are being developed beyond just “bad guys” and Harley’s new quirk has the potential for a lot of humor. And despite the cliffhanger ending, I like how the series isn't just limited to missions of the week – it’s getting some depth. Highly recommended.
review 2: This volume contains what is easily one of the best Death of the Family tie-ins, but the rest of the volume lacks the punch that the series has had up till now. The story of Regulus is being dragged out too far, and the four issue storyline about Red Orchid is nonsensical and teases lots of stuff about different members of the team without actually answering any questions. The artwork varies in tone from solid to scratchy, which I suppose works with the uneven storylines too; it's a shame, but this series seems to be heading downhill and I enjoyed the first two trades immensely. Maybe it is time for a new writer, and a regular artist. less
