Suicide Squad Vol. 2: The Nightshade Odyssey
Suicide Squad Vol. 2: The Nightshade Odyssey | John Ostrander
12 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
Discover John Ostrander's classic series and the origins of the criminal cadre starring in next summer's feature film, Suicide Squad! Friends or foes? That is the question that must be answered when Batman and the Justice League learn of the team's existence. The Dark Knight confronts Amanda Waller, which leads to a standoff that could end the Suicide Squad forever. While the team is sent to take down the island headquarters of a Colombian drug cartel, Rick Flagg takes an all-new Suicide Squad on a deadly mission that sees them go head-to-head with the Doom Patrol! Finally, the Squad faces the Justice League in hostile territory-and it may not be possible for either side to survive. All of this leads to an extra-dimensional journey to discover who, or what, their teammate Nightshade actually is. This collection continues, in chronological order, the stories by series writer John Ostrander, who is joined by guest writers Keith Giffen, J.M. Dematteis and Paul Kupperberg, and acclaimed artists Luke McDonnell, Bob Lewis and Erik Larsen! SUICIDE SQUAD: THE NIGHTSHADE ODYSSEY collects SUICIDE SQUAD #9-16, JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL #13, and DOOM PATROL/SUICIDE SQUAD #1.

Pickpick

Batman vs the Suicide Squad. Also, the Enchantress' origin story. Fun, but I missed Deadshot. Still a pick, but not a favorite like volume one.

There is so much incest in this book, it's almost funny. The 'we like to keep it in the family' line is a bit on the nose, though.

So much religion 😑 Boring me now.

So I guess even June's gonna ignore the Eve thing?

When a couple pages later, the character switches from using Eve to June and everyone ignores it. Awkward.

Um, isn't it June? June Moon turns into the Enchantress.

I was warned Deadshot was absent from this volume. Still loving this! Apparently it's the volume the movie was based off of, so that should be fun!
