DC Comics and Suicide Squad #2 Spoilers and Review follows.
Superboy Vs. Peacemaker!
Plus Batman Stalks Suicide Squad As Task Force X Stalks Teen Titans Academy?!
We open with Peacemaker telling his origins as…
…we pivot to modern day where the Suicide Squad’s field commander is attempting to free Batman foe Talon from Arkham Asylum.
They are aided by Superboy aka Conner Kent and others…
…as Batman circles Arkham Asylum.
Superboy wants to save the guards and prisoners from the effects of the Joker gas that the Suicide Squad is protected from, but…
…that’s a no-go for Amanda Waller, head of the Squad; the team escapes and Batman enters the Asylum.
The team hopes Talon was worth the carnage.
They also need revive Superboy…
…so he can be berated for not following orders in the field.
Peacemaker actually lays a powerful punch into Superboy; the art makes it seem that Superboy’s face is quite malleable opening questions about Peacemaker’s “power” and whether this is truly Conner Kent.
The book ends with Waller having the need for speed setting up the mini x-over with the Teen Titans Academy series.
The Pulse:
Compelling story with ok art. Peacemaker remains intriguing as is why Superboy is here. 7 out of 10.
