Spoilers, Top Story

DC Comics and Suicide Squad #3 Spoilers and Review follows.

What’s Superboy’s Deal?

Plus Teen Titans Academy X-Over Begins! Bolt As Prey and Red X As Hunter?!

The issue opens with a brief recap of  Kon-el aka Conner Kent aka Superboy…

…curious about why he’s on the Suicide Squad.

Looks like Amanda Waller needs a speedster on her team and looks to…

…forcibly recruit her…

…away from the Teen Titans Academy.

New recruits on the Suicide Squad…

…are part of the Bolt “recruitment” including the aforementioned Superboy.

However, is Superboy friend or fore of the Suicide Squad as he tells Bolt to “run”; is that to help her or threaten her?

In the end, Bolt escapes the Suicide Squad plus Red X takes out Peacemaker?!

The Pulse:

A compelling issue with strong, differentiating characterization,  intrigue around Superboy, loads of action and a surprise ending with Red X topping Peacemaker who topped Superboy earlier in this series. 8 out of 10.
