One of the things I liked about the book was the background info included so you didn’t have to be overly familiar with the characters to enjoy this. I was surprised that the violence had been toned down. I’m guessing this was written to entice all the new fans that are flocking to DC due to the movies so newbies to the series will probably enjoy it more than those who have been around so long they forget where reality begins and DC ends.

Rob Williams wrote a decent plot line that will engage the reader with its humor and well developed characters. I’m a fan of Harley Quinn’s so I was happy to see her humor had been given a chance to flex its muscle and to show she’s more than an escaped asylum candidate.  

Overall I liked the art work but felt Harley’s breasts are starting to get a little out of control as it seemed like she had been given a breast enhancement sine her previous manifestations. Just because the movie was popular doesn’t mean you need to use that Hollywood money to move her up to a Triple D. Aside from Harley’s back breaking chest augmentation I liked the grittiness of the art work, its realism, the tone downed color palette and most importantly that it did such a great job complementing the literary aspect of the graphic novel.

This is the first graphic novel I have picked up in regards to the Suicide Squad and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a quick read filled with excitement. The graphics are very unique and detailed which emphasized the storyline. I would have wanted to see more humor from the characters, but enjoyed the dialogue that has been developed thus far. I will definitely pick up the rest of the volumes and recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing read between tasks.

Fast paced from the get go, The Black Fault shows the overall spirit of the Suicide Squad from the get go. For those interested in the greyer side of super powers, this volume is for you. The interviews between Waller and the Task Force members are a great way to know the backstory of the characters if you're only familiar with Harley Quinn. On that note, if you're looking for a different interpretation from Conner's Harley, this is the series for you. Overall an action packed volume leaving you ready to read more.

A fun collection of the Suicide Squad. Everything you need to get started or for the returning vet.
