This is by far the worst number of the series. Story-wise it feels like a one-shot. It doesn't tie much to what came before it and after it, and it isn't a good thing. You see, this series already seems to have a hard time telling you it's short story arcs. They all take a long time to built-up and they always end abruptly. And this one feels very off.

Graphically, it's not a pretty one either. The style feels sloppy and every character's face looks awkward, specially King Shark, which looks more like a common shark and lost his hammerhead shark features.

If you buy these comics as single issues, this one is a MUST SKIP in my opinion. If you had hard times keeping up with Suicide Squad, this issue will definitely put the last nail in the coffin for you. It's not a bad series, but it's a very inconsistent one which didn't need this issue amplifying this flaw.

What happened to the drawing it was way more cartoonish, but let's see what do they do more.

I have always loved comics, and I hope that I will always love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics or Diamond Comics or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on the international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I can. I Love comics to bit, may comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading.

What the hell was this B.S????
I really like this series but this issue was... I don't even know.
The story felt like it was just...there, not really needed somehow.

The art work...
Was the artist being LAZY??? I hated looking at the characters faces. It's like who ever drew them wasn't even trying.

And why the hell did they change the way King Shark looks? He didn't look like himself. How dare they fuck with my baby.

☠️ Issue #23 – “Kill Your Friends” Part Three
The Squad finally catches up—but not before Deadshot catches something darker: truth. About Waller. About Zoey. About the lie he’s been living. The mission breaks, but something else shatters: loyalty.
A hitman with nothing left to kill for is the most dangerous man alive.
