2016 saw the release of what some may call (me!) one of the worst modern superhero films, Suicide Squad. So color me and everyone else surprised when Warner Bros. announced The Suicide Squad (2021) in 2018. Less of a sequel and more of a do-over, The Suicide Squad has one key difference from its predecessor: it’s written and directed by James Gunn, the man responsible for turning the Guardians of the Galaxy into a household name.
The Janus Directive crossover from the previous volume is easily my least favorite part of Suicide Squad so far. Thankfully, Suicide Squad #31-#39 is a return to form for the series, refocusing itself on what matters most: The members that make up the Squad.

Scooby-Doo and Guess Who features various guest stars in each episode, a throwback to Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? and The New Scooby-Doo Movies.
