"I Have The Utmost Confidence In You."

"The basic idea behind TASK FORCE Z is "what if we made the Suicide Squad even more @#$*&% up?" So yes it's a story about weaponizing the dead, but it's also about redemption, and second chances, and trying to prove you're more than your worst moments... And also eating people."

I want to like this, because Jason.

But it's weird and confusing and all over the place and I don't care about pretty much anybody else in the cast -_-

What's mostly keeping me invested is trying to work out WTF is going on with Mr. Bloom.

Oh, and the weird last-page twist in #3.

[blues32]

I was joking at first, but unless this is an alternate universe, I think this is DC giving themselves a way to write dead characters back into their stories. One twist later and they're back...though possibly hooked on Lazarus Resin in order to stay alive and sane.

So...is Mr. Bloom the source of the Resin? He just seemed to produce an insane number of the pills the way he used to spread flowers and seeds.

Come to think of it, why was Deadshot buried in costume and with live ammo?

[cainofdreaming]

When did Floyd die anyway? Or is this the other one they had for the five minutes or so?

[blues32]

As I understand it, Floyd died to Black Mask during a Suicide Squad mission. The other guy wore blue, so I don't think it's him.

Holy smokes, they finally brought Mr. Bloom back! He was really cool, I was worried they’d forgotten about him.

Dual Crowbars? That's a bit much, even for jason

[blues32]

He really needs to let that go. It's not doing his trauma any favors.

[jaxjyls]

Not trauma is an excuse for being a murdering edgelord

[numeronone]

And yet they keep churning out Deadshot, Punisher, Wolverine, etc...

[blues32]

I give Wolverine a pass since he's got SOOO much trauma. I mean, he's been alive for probably a hundred plus years now. For a good portion of it, Sabretooth would show up at his house once a year to say, "Happy Birthday" by beating the hell out of him. Jason has like...two really bad days.
