![]() This is honestly my least favorite portion of the book. A fellow sniper, Rookie is basically introduced to set up conflict between the two, or “competition” as Waller called it. Will apparently doesn’t have a code name, so I’m going to refer to him as Deadshot endearingly does: Rookie. Except this time he’ll have back-up, and the plan is a little different.īuccellato introduces a new character, Will Evans. ![]() Three months later, and Deadshot is back to collect the same man. It was strictly a round-up mission as far as LaPaz was concerned – the other men were fair game to be on the receiving end of bullets – but Waller was never able to capture LaPaz. Deadshot was sent to South America to stop the head of the local cartel, Guillermo “Che” LaPaz. The catalyst for Deadshot’s narrative stems from a solo mission he executed for Waller in the past.

If you’re going to write a book about Deadshot, there’s bound to be an internal monologue about his views on killing. The opening scene is solid, albeit a little expected.

Deadshot is an edgier character, he kills people for a living, but doesn’t allow himself to get consumed by the darkness of what he does. He’s a great character, and deserves every bit of attention that DC throws his way.īuccellato ( Detective Comics, Injustice Gods Among Us) is covering writing duties for this story, so I have an adequately high expectation. Because of that, I’m glad that Deadshot receives a spotlight every couple of years. Yes, Harley is now part of the team and is easily a bigger brand than Deadshot, but I can imagine a Squad without Harely, while it’s difficult for me to imagine one without Lawton. I’ll score each issue individually, but finish up with a total score averaging the scores from both stories.ĭeadshot has basically been the foundation of the Suicide Squad for years. There’s a part of me that really wanted to write a separate review for each story (as in two separate posts), but if you plan on buying the monthly issues, then you’re stuck with both stories… So you’re getting two reviews in on post. That he's still able to do so years later is a dream come true.Two stories. Eventually, when the opportunity arose to actually write about comics, it was a no-brainer. After nearly a decade of stealing copies of classic comics by Kirby, Lee, Swan, Fox, Romita and more from his father's collection, his love of comics fully kicked in when he bought Avengers #232 from a spinner rack at Seven-Eleven.
