Yes, it was obvious he was going to win, but that didn’t make this any less enjoyable. I really enjoyed this fight, and actually found myself rooting for Deadshot. He should be incredibly proud of his work, and I hope to see him on other Bat related titles in the future.īreakdowns can be found in the spoiler tag. The work this guy does is outstanding, and I can’t imagine how different this book would’ve been without him. The Art: Bogdanovic has worked his way into my heart, and has become one of my favorite artists! If you remember, when I first started covering this title, I complained about minor aspects of his work… Well not anymore. If Buccellato does anything with this book, he proves that! There’s so much that can, and should, be done with Floyd Lawton, and despite the fact that Suicide Squad built him into the character he is today, I don’t think it can take him to the limits he deserves. While a number of villains and/or anti-heroes are getting their own runs, the one character that truly deserves an extended run in the spotlight is Deadshot. This is, undoubtedly much worse, and you know that means he’s going to do everything he can to hurt Will.īeyond the action and violence though, this issue does contain a lot of heart. We already know what he did to his mother, and saw, first hand, how he reacted to his parents’ knowledge of Suchin. What really drives this issue though, is the curiosity of how far Deadshot will go. To up the ante a little, Waller, has a role to play in this, and that alone brings its own interesting elements. It’s fun, exciting, brutal, and energetic, even if you feel the outcome is obvious. The issue plays out like a DC themed version of The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell. And this isn’t just a pride thing for Will, it’s necessary for his career. Able to set his own terms, Will challenges Deadshot to a battle to determine who is the best between the two. Typically, I’d say the person stupid enough to do this would’ve just committed suicide, but Will is just as dangerous as Deadshot, and Suchin serves as a critical asset for him: leverage. Note: kidnapping Deadshot’s daughter and killing innocent people she knew and loved is guaranteed to piss him off to the maximum level. So what does Will do? He kills the people looking after Suchin, and kidnaps her. The dude is extremely dangerous, and there are times when he’s a little off his rocker. Men and their pride, huh? He should’ve bailed with Suchin the moment he had the chance, but if he had done that, I would only be covering Katana right now, so let’s consider his lapse of judgement a blessing.Ĭlearly the last thing you would ever want to do to Deadshot is piss him off. Unfortunately, Will was one step ahead of Deadshot, and managed to kidnap his daughter while Floyd was looking to score some vengeance. There was just one thing he needed to do first, and that was find and kill his imposter, Will. The last time we saw Deadshot, he’d escaped Belle Reve and was on a mission to get his daughter in hopes of leaving the states and the Suicide Squad behind. I never read his run on The Flash, so I can’t include that in my comparison, but so far, this is easily the best work of his that I’ve ever read! I will admit that I did have some reservations about this final issue due to his track record of ending stories poorly, but was relieved to see that’s not the case here! I have to praise Buccellato for delivering a damn good book. This month, Katana is the leading story, but since I despise this book, I’m going to go ahead and review Deadshot first! As for Katana, if I could get away without reading or reviewing it, I would be one happy man. It’s the final issue of Suicide Squad’s Most Wanted: Deadshot/ Katana, and I’m stoked to see how Buccellato wraps up Deadshot.
