Suicide Squad
word of advice : SPOILERS For Suicide Squad Annual # 1
In this week’sSuicide Squad yearly # 1 , the Squad that fans have come to screw and love barely have an visual aspect - instead , Amanda Waller is creating a whole newSuicide Squad(with a very unlike roster of villains ) . The issue is a self - contained narration penned by Cullen Bunn with nontextual matter by Ronan Cliquet , that turn into a blood and gore filled face - off between the new squad , their aim , and none other than the Swamp Thing !
The unexampled Squad is made up of seven DC villains , all offered the usual deal : demise by neck - bomb if they disobey Waller , benefits if they co - operate and complete her missionary post . The squad she pull together include the vampire Scream Queen , issue manipulator Shimmer , bomb expert Baby Boom , contortionist Rag Doll , martial creative person Tao Jones , archer Merlyn , and tongue man Skorpio .

This metre , Amanda Waller ’s commission is to hunt down and capture Cadence Laramie ( a fair sex who go mad when she was kidnap and surgically wed to a unusual man , drive them both to go on a homicidal rampage ) . Laramie was being kept at Belle Reve , but escaped , and must therefore be wrangle up by her fellow yard bird .
So with the original flavor Task Force X otherwise take , it ’s prison term to build a stigma new Suicide Squad .
Of course , this team is n’t going to be replace the primary Suicide Squad ( Harley Quinn , Killer Croc , Captain Boomerang , et all ) - they ’re just taking on a single missionary station while thatTask Force X is busy re - sinking Atlantis . So fans of the flick cast of character can breathe comfortable for now .
Another reasonableness that Waller ’s a la mode chemical group of neck - bomb defective bozo wo n’t be taking over as DC ’s elemental Suicide Squad ? Almost none of them manage to survive their delegation inAnnual # 1 . Having follow their prey into the swamp near Belle Reve , the squad observe that they are up against much more than a frightened , runaway murderer . Swamp Thing is none too happy about these villainous trope invading his space , and between Swamp Thing and the murderous ghost that follow Laramie everywhere she goes , only two members of the newfangled team make it back to Belle Reve alive . However , as Scream Queen disobeyed an orderliness while on the missionary station , Waller sedately blow her head word off ( in a phenomenally bloody control panel , with eyeballs fly everywhere ) .
With Merlyn the sole subsister ofSuicide Squad Annual # 1 , it seems that Waller ’s a la mode squad is a stunningly short subsist one … although it does lead us to wonder what is next for Merlyn . The original Suicide Squad has been undermanned of late ( and they ’ve acquire some extra assistant for the Atlantis mission as a result ) .
Could Merlyn be next in bloodline to link the tangible Task Force X , and become a principal players in theSuicide Squadcomic ? Only time will tell .
