Notes:
(1) Ideally, the Suicide Squad should be composed of D-list villains. Part of the gimmick is that some of them get killed. When you put A-list villains on the team (like Deathstroke, Black Manta and Reverse Flash), you know they're only on loan. Really, the only A-lister should be Harley, and only because being on the team made her A-list.

Notes:
(1) Any DC story set in or about Russia without KGBeast is a missed opportunity.
(2) Joker's Daughter is such a universally despised character that I see zero benefit in adding her to any ensemble... with the exception of putting her on the Suicide Squad so Harley can be the one to kill her off, which is my prediction. It'd be very poetic.

Notes:
(1) Interesting additions to this book are Deathstroke and Joker's Daughter. They directly overlap Deadshot and Harley's roles. Before this, Joker's Daughter was essentially Harley's Gotham replacement.
(2) Jeremy Roberts does a great job on this book. I'm impressed. Not only are his covers fantastic, but he doesn't skimp on the interiors.

Notes:
(1) I have no idea why DC decided to reboot and rebrand this series. My best guess is this was at about the time the "Suicide Squad" movie was announced and they wanted to have a new #1 issue for potential new readers.
(2) Just from flipping through this I can already tell it's a different tone artistically. More candy-colored, less grime.

Have you ever read the original John Ostrander penned Suicide Squad? It's still my favorite for the very reason you listed. The stories aren't nearly as exciting if you know no one is ever going to die.

Aside from hearing generally good things about it, it also interests me because it's the debut of Oracle after The Killing Joke.
