ARC from Netgalley.
Other than the coolest thing Enchantress has ever done (turning their landing ship into a giant green dragon that attacks the people on the ground) AND a lot of battling between villains, this Volume was kind of a dud for me.
It revolves around "The People", an organization that wants to rid the world of all metahumans. Amanda Waller gets possessed at some point and turns her attention to killing the Suicide Squad, causing them to seek help from Batman. Unfortunately, while the story gets resolved, it just came off kind of poorly done. (Maybe I missed something or wasn't seeing the big picture?)
Really hope the next Volume gets the title back on the right path...
Only kind of recommend, and with hesitation. Needed if you need to resolve "The People" storyline in your head.

So, most of this seems like Karla vs. Waller. There's also an actual Suicide Squad story with new team leader Harley, who's definitely no longer joking, in Bulgaria and Karala and the Suicide Squad beating up on each other.

It only gets more complicated on both sides of the story from there.

We get to see a bit of Killer Frost and Batman into it too, and they're not happy.

Honestly, I read the Suicide Squad books for Harley mostly and a little bit for Katana, but these days... Anyway. I'll probably give at least one more TPB a try, but, in someways these seem to be going off the rails, even for Suicide Squad.

I received this book via Netgalley thanks to DC Entertainment.

Amanda Waller and the Suicide Squad continues their struggle with The People and their hit squads. But something is off. Waller is aiming them at super-heroes such as Batman rather than threats against America? How has she been compromised? What will the Suicide Squad do when they realize the truth? Read and find out in this wild ride with a very twisted ending!

Thanks Netgalley and DC for a chance to review this title.
