About a year ago, DC had quite the full plate: Not only were they knee-deep in their new Rebirth initiative, but they were also waiting to unleash the Suicide Squad movie on the masses. So, being wise, they coincided Task Force X’s relaunched book with said film, with a lineup reflecting what was offered on the big screen. Basically, if you wanted more of Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Killer Croc and the rest of the crew, all you had to do was pick up a comic written by Rob Williams.

In the time since, the series has not only forged its own path, but has also become one of the better team-up books DC has to offer. Yes, a lot has gone down, but right now is the time to jump on the bandwagon if you...

"...what do you get when you mix the deadly 'Suicide Squad' with the 'Fist of Cain' killer cult and 'Rose Tattoo', the resurrected demon of murder?

"...assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated 'Super Villains', provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal...

"However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed...

"...but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail...

"...will the 'Suicide Squad' resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?..."

(Cbr) Coming soon (but not from Marvel). Walt Disney Animation has premiered an adorable two-minute clip from "Big Hero 6" that highlights the relationship between young Hiro and his robot Baymax, and has me looking forward to the Nov. 7 release of the film. Even from the limited glimpses we’ve gotten of them, the characters are already appealing. I sure would be down for reading more stories about them. However, Marvel has no plans to release any comic books in conjunction with the premiere of "Big Hero 6" — no reprints of the original stories that inspired from the movie, no new comics … nothing. As the first Disney animated movie to take advantage of the House of Mouse’s $4 billion purchase of the House of Ideas, you’d think this would be pretty exciting for Marvel, and something it would want to promote. And yet, Marvel is surprisingly quiet about "Big...
