I wouldn’t call the art hard to follow or anything. The result of this is many, many pages in the book being reduced to chaotic sequences of character’s running, getting shot, driving, getting shot, screaming F-bombs, and getting shot. Why Red Hood doesn’t just shoot Joker right then or let him die is beyond me but hey, we needed to keep Joker in the plot somehow. This new development somehow forces Red Hood and Co to team up with the Joker so that they may both escape their new executioners. I like you, but, sorry.” It’s ridiculous and I think it was only done to add padding to the book.
When Jason tries to call the attack off, he just gets told “well, you were under mind control and I had to take you out. The new Task Force X doesn’t even bother to ask questions, they just show up and start hailing gunfire at our protagonists, Joker, and everyone in their path. I don’t think it can be overstated that this is just incredibly clunky writing. Here, he introduces a secondary Task Force X (which includes Peacemaker) that shows up to kill Joker and Jason’s Task Force, assuming they are all still under his control. I feel like DC should just stick to one-shots that can be quickly released at the exact time of the film, rather than waiting for months for higher tier talent like Amanda Connor or, in this case, Brian Azzerello, to finish their work by the time most readers have completely forgotten about their books.Īnyway, Get Joker #3 sees us back with Jason Todd, Harley Quinn, and the rest of the Suicide Squad as they have recently broken free of the Joker’s control, but it appears Azzerello needed some way to extend his story so that it wouldn’t immediately end with Jason or some member of the Squad killing the Joker. For one reason or another, the issues of the series were delayed long after the movie was released, killing the intended wave of hype it was supposed to ride in the first place. This is a frustrating problem that I remember also occurring with the Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey movie synergy miniseries. In all honesty, I thought the series was only supposed to have two issues and completely forgot about it because it had been so long a wait. Its first issue came out back in August, 2021, and its second issue released the month after… and now, finally the last issue releases over half a year later. Suicide Squad: Get Joker is a series that was created to capitalize on the release of James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad.
