"Harley Quinn! Deadshot! King Shark! They’re a team of death-row super villains recruited by the government to take on missions so dangerous – they’re sheer suicide! Who will be the first to crack under the pressure? Find out in SUICIDE SQUAD #1, written by Adam Glass (FLASHPOINT: LEGION OF DOOM) with art by Marco Rudy (THE SHIELD)."




It’s not easy being Jaime Reyes. He has to deal with high school, family and all the drama that comes with being a teenager. Also, he’s linked to a powerful scarab created by an alien race who seek to subjugate planets – or annihilate them. It’s up to one teen hero to turn this instrument of destruction into a force for good in BLUE BEETLE #1, written by Tony Bedard (GREEN LANTERN CORPS) and illustrated by Ig Guara (FLASHPOINT: GRODD OF WAR) and Ruy Jose.


Both titles are a part of the DCnU(Dc's new universe) "Edge" series which, yes you guessed it, plan on bringing us more edgy content. I have always been a big fan of Suicide Squad but only 3 members? I assume we will get some new recruits as the series progresses. Blue Beetle? Ted Kord yes; Reyes, ehhhh we'll see!

I like the sucide squad except for Harley, but the new deadshot looks cool

Wow, the Suicide Squad looks awesome, as usual. Love Harley's look.

Plus Adam Glass is an interesting writer.


I'm glad/surprised they kept Jaime as BB instead of bringing back Ted Kord.

I'm a little confused about that "not a reboot" thing myself. Maybe they are not gonna forget the past stories and continuity but still make changes to the actual characters.

Blue beetle looks like generator rex from cartoon network

I hate Deadshot's new look, but glad to see Beetle back in action.

@ Intruder & Weekendavenger - funny lol and where do you think Stan Lee got his inspiration and slight ideas from for Spiderman?

I'm digging the new Harley hardcore. Deadshot and King Shark look awesome as well. As far as Blue Beetle, I could get used to that but he seems too similar to Cyborg really... Should bring back the original Beetle and his powers.

Wow...slut up Harley a little more, why don't they? Looks like crap.

What teen heroes did DC have that weren't sidekicks back in the 60's? Still unsure about where DC is going with this and if I buy into the not a reboot.

MarkCassidy - 6/9/2011, 3:59 PM
Chewtoy, yeah nobody likes to see comic book chicks in revealing cloths do they? Oh..hang on..

Booster, I'm sure Secret Six will get it's own relaunch , but yeah I was really liking the old run too.

Harley looks freakin' amazing.
Chewtoy
Chewtoy - 6/9/2011, 4:14 PM
RorMachine: yeah, because if you like this particular design then everybody else must... Otherwise, it'd be like, I don't know, we all have our own opinions or something.
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 6/9/2011, 4:53 PM
When did I say you couldn't have your opinion? You suggested it's crap because Harley is all slutted up, and I suggested that half naked comic book chicks is something a lot of people like to see. Regardless of that the art is great..but yeah, each to their own.

Harley Quinn is making my boner alert go off.

@Chewtoy- Why wouldn't Harley sex it up a little? She's insane. Has little to no morals. What does she care if she's in revealing clothing? You act like she's a conservative or something.

Harley Quinn looks badass, Deadshot looks stupid as [frick].

Blue Beetle is representing brown and proud baby.

Those guys on Geekopoly do raise some points...but I'm going to only pick up the DC Retro-Active one-shots, and then I'm done. Same goes for Marvel, until either company cleans up their acts, hires new management, and actually TALKS to the people they're trying to get to buy their stuff. The only exceptions are trades of landmark stories/series, IDW's Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters, and none else.

Fail. Harley looks awful

Chewtoy, lol relax man.

Blueorange, So which DC toon is Spidey a rip from?

Am I the only one who thinks its funny that when the reboot was announced everyone freaked out. And now that we get to see the covers and see how some things are changing everyones like "Well, this doesn't look that bad".
