Again, amazing artwork and I love the acid humor, but the lack of character progression lefts to be desire. Seriously, Floyd alone would kill them all in 3 seconds with headshots (Ok, that's a nitpick). The only thing that's worth pointing out about the second Task Force X is how they have Deadshot and Deathstroke and yet they are mmissing everyone on Jason's team at the bar where this issue begins. I find weird how some of them are using costumes from The Suicide Squad movie, some from Arkham Origins and some from old comics but that's just an observation. Yeah, I'm talking about this due to how the last issue ends, with a second Suicide Squad, having Deathstroke as one of its members showing up. Also, I have problems about how Jason Todd is treated, at the end some dialogue feels like a commentary about the character but it simply does not work for me. After all these years, the character has grown out of her "love" for Joker, even having in mind that this is an alternative reality, still kinda jaring seeing how she is written here. Harley Quinn for example, I find somewhat weird how she's treated here. Yeah, it's the Suicide Squad, they' supposed to be replaceable but we should care about them, they should grown and learn as the story progresses, so we feel something when they die. The art and humor are definitely the selling points here, but the story and characters, at least to me, are lacking in weight. The startling conclusion of this Black Label epic rockets to its surprising, yet inevitable, confrontation between The. After what felt like years, this series finally hits its end.
