Suicide Squad Kicked in the teeth

I was surprised by how much I liked this! The only character I was really familiar with was Harley Quinn. But I really like Harley, which is why I picked it up. Really fun and with some ~superhero ethics quandaries~, if you're into that.

Of note for librarians: I ordered this for teen graphic novels since I was doing a big DC order, but I'm having it recataloged to adult. It's just... pretty violent, and Harley's puh-retty scantily clad on the cover, and it's called Suicide Squad. I do think older teens would enjoy it, but I'll let them get it from adult GNs when they go to get their Walking Deads.

Not surprised I didn't like this. I thought maybe...but then I looked at it and...certain things tipped me off. But I thought, ‘Well, let's try it, maybe I'll like it anyway.'

Nope.

Sophomoric, badly planned violence, the women weren't that well written, and the sex-ish scene with Deadshot and Harley was pointlessly stupid. The characters were lacking. I'm down with sex and violence, but I'm not down with mediocre writing and meh characters.
