COMICS: SUICIDE SQUAD Variant Cover Spotlights The Characters From The Movie
For their next ComicConBox, Wizard World Entertainment has put out a limited edition variant cover to 1959’s The Brave and the Bold #25, which details the origins of the original Suicide Squad - but, this cover features the team from David Ayer's upcoming movie...
The cover to Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru's reprint of The Brave and the Bold #25 is given a Task Force X update from artist Ethan Van Sciver. This pays homage to Howard Chaykin’s original cover to 1987’s Suicide Squad #1, but replacing that lineup are the characters that make up the team from the upcoming movie: Enchantress, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, El Diablo, Killer Croc, Rick Flag, Katana, and Harley Quinn. No Joker unfortunately, and poor Slipknot is once again given short shrift.. but hey, he'll probably die after 5 minutes anyway.
This issue is very limited and won't be republished, so if you fancy a copy you'll have to order the next ComicConBox by clicking HERE. Suicide Squad stars Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jared Leto as Joker, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Adam Beach as Slipknot, and Jay Hernandez as El Diablo. The movie is set to hit theaters next August.
