DC's latest Suicide Squad series has plenty of appeal, but the first issue was held back by a few core flaws. For one thing, the odd story structure (with the backup story being nearly as long as the main tale) prevented the series from gaining much momentum right away. For another, there was little sense that this movie-inspired team would face the same sorts of danger and looming death that characterize this franchise. Luckily, issue #2 addresses both of those problems, in the process offering a more tightly paced and emotionally stirring adventure.
Granted, this issue is still structured so that the main tale and backup feature are of roughly equal length. Presumably, this approach is intended to give artist Jim Lee more time to work on his segment. It may not necessarily be to the benefit of Rob Williams' script, but if that's the sacrifice necessary to make it possible to have Lee on a Suicide Squad comic, then so be it. Lee's hyper-detailed, dynamic art is especially well-suited to this grittier corner of the DCU. It takes advantage of Lee's talent for epic superhero action while simultaneously offering a darker, bloodier sensibility. Lee also makes great use of grid-based page layouts and repetitive panels to highlight the unfolding violence. It should also be said that the brighter coloring in these pages meshes with Lee's work in a way that didn't always happen with his New 52 projects.
