“Suicide Splits” pairs up Saturday morning’s animal rock band with Amanda Waller’s Task Force X, the dirtiest players in the game! Mistaken for metahumans and thrown into the bowels of Belle Reve Penitentiary, the Banana Splits are recruited by Amanda Waller for a secret mission: Save the Suicide Squad! What follows is quite possibly the weirdest team up ever; how will Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snorky stand up to Harley, Deadshot, Katana and Killer Croc?

Mark Russell brings his hilariously satirical style to this backup feature, where Snagglepuss is a Southern gothic playwright working with an ensemble cast of cultural figures, exploring an intensely creative time in the New York City theater scene of the 1950’s.

Honestly, not an unrealistic scenario of what would happen if animal people showed up in real life. Except the trigger happy cops would probably be white.

I really liked these crossovers

We live in a world where this comic exists.
I am so confused by reality.

The first part was awesome, the second part came off as preachy.

Please tell me this is part of New 52 canon.

This idea went from impossibly stupid to... well, you know how it goes.

But is Snagglepuss supposed to be a separate thing? Just seems kind of out of nowhere.

Yeah, Snagglepuss is a back-up story.
