Suicide Squad Redefines the One Thing Everyone Knows About the Franchise
Warning: contains spoilers for DC vs Vampires #6!
One of the most recognizable aspects about the Suicide Squad has been redefined in a new comic that will change how fans think about the team. For years, the Suicide Squad have had a recognizable feature that has set them apart from most superpowered teams. With the group consisting of supervillains, there needs to be something that keeps them in line to make sure they don't escape while on their missions. That's why they are implanted with tiny explosive devices in their necks that can be triggered at any moment should they disobey Amanda Waller's orders. It's a plot device that's meant to put fear in the reader that something could happen at any point that triggers the device and make them lose a favorite character. But a new issue of DC vs. Vampires actually changes how people may view this device.
DC vs. Vampires #6 (by James Tynion IV, Matthew Rosenberg, Otto Schmidt, Simone Di Meo, Daniele Di Nicuolo, and Rex Lokus) follows the Squad in the middle of an intense fight between the team. While looking for the Joker, who they believe to be the King of the Vampires, two surprise members turn out to have already been turned into the undead, including fan favorite King Shark. As the remaining Squad fight for their lives to prevent being turned, Harley Quinn gets an idea that manages to turn the greatest threats to their lives into something that saves them.
