Last week, we talked about the Justice League International. This week, Dick Grayson Tier Patreon backer John Wickham joins us to talk about the other late 80s DC team that spun out of the Legends event, the Suicide Squad. And while the Justice League was mostly comedy, the Squad is not. We read three very different versions of the Squad in a story where Amanda Waller shows her metal, the New 52 origin of Harley Quinn and a Rebirth event where the Suicide Squad faces a Justice League that has moved past the Bwah-Ha-Ha era.
- Up Against the Wall (Suicide Squad V.1 #10)
- The Hunt for Harley Quinn (Suicide Squad V.4 #6-7)
- Justice League Vs. Suicide Squad #1-6

Matt Lazorwitz read his first comic at the age of five. It was Who's Who in the DC Universe #2, featuring characters whose names begin with B, which explains so much about his Batman obsession. He writes about comics he loves, and co-hosts the creator interview podcast WMQ&A with Dan Grote.
Will Nevin loves bourbon and AP style and gets paid to teach one of those things. He is on Twitter far too often.
