This week its time to check in on everyone's favourite team of bad guys and the bad they do, the Suicide Squad. Can this book live up to the lofty standards of all its media adaptations and strong roots, or is the subtitle for the trade an accurate description of how it feels to read? There's only one way to find out, as we go on a mission with Suicide Squad vol 1: Kicked in the Head by Adam Glass, Federico Dallocchio, Clayton Henry, Andrei Bressan, Cliff Richards and Ig Guara with colours by Val Staples, Hi-Fi and Allan Passalaqua.
