Suicide Squad: The Rebirth Deluxe Edition - Book 2 (Suicide Squad
There's something rotten in Belle Reve Penitentiary, and it's not just the swamp water leaking into the basement. Someone in the Suicide Squad has turned traitor, leaving America's deadliest super-team open to attack from a vast international conspiracy bent on destroying everything that Task Force X director Amanda Waller has built.
Considering that "The Wall" relies less on loyalty and trust and more on brain-implanted bombs to control her crew of conscripts, finding the culprit is going to be a tall order. Any one of the rogues in this gallery-including Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, Enchantress and Killer Croc-would almost certainly climb over a pile of their teammates' corpses for the chance to escape.
But even when she's down for the count, Waller has a few aces up her sleeve, including 1) the deranged Kryptonian war criminal, General Zod, and 2) her own unequaled, bloody-minded ruthlessness.
Bending Zod to her will, however, means striking a bargain with one of Superman's deadliest enemies-and one of the only people on the planet smarter and more tenacious than Waller herself. But no matter how powerful the leverage she finds to use against him, in the end Zod kneels for no one. Will Waller's plan to make this living weapon of mass destruction a full-fledged member of the Suicide Squad live up to its enormous potential? Or will it literally and figuratively blow up in her face?
Acclaimed author Rob Williams is joined by artists John Romita Jr., Tony S. Daniel, Riley Rossmo, Giuseppe Cafaro and Stjepan Sejic in Suicide Squad: Rebirth Deluxe Edition Book 2. Collects Suicide Squad #9-20 as well as the one-shot Suicide Squad Special: War Crimes, written by the Squad's own original gangster, John Ostrander!

I liked the artwork but the story didn’t keep me interested.

Plenty of trouble making with a couple enjoyable cameos. A fun story with excellent artwork.

Another excellent outing with the Suicide Squad from the Rebirth universe. The writing is really top notch and kept my interest throughout. The DCU should take a page from these stories if they want to continue their success from the last film. It was also a treat to see artwork by Stjepan Šejić; who is far and away my favorite comic book artist. It's bittersweet reading graphic novels with his artwork knowing he has vowed never to work for a major comic book company again. Still, he self-publishes his own stories now so the content hasn't dried up yet. If you enjoy the Suicide Squad then you will definitely enjoy these stories. I can't wait to tear through Book 3.

Wow,absolutely far out and over the too awesome.
Loved book 2 and the whole story as it continues to grow and unfold. Love seeing hartcourt and waller go at it. Love how they brought ZOD into the picture in this series. Just an all around well written story with excellent art, coloring and dialog. Really really have just loved reading these first 2 volumes of the rebirth of suicide squad. They did a great job with ALL the characters in every way and the main point for me is to be interested and engaged in the story and they have more then delivered so far.

December 21, 2020While I have been enjoying the more character focused approach, it was a real nice little blast from the past to have an Ostrander-penned mission full of questionably ethical international espionage and everyone calling Boomerang "Boomerbutt", as is tradition.
(Also the traditional , I guess? It's very different circumstances, but that's still a weird parallel to have.)

I really enjoy Romita art! But I don't care for boring stories with a random spy! I don't mind twisty, convoluted plots, but sometimes they feel too twisty for their own good. I find Croc and Enchantress's love story so fun!

I'm here only for the JR, Jr. art.

Very much enjoyed this.
Very fun time it was with Rebirth. This series did a very good job all around. I highly recommend this book. I miss this serious like no other.
