Ratings and reviews

DC Comics answer to punisher - deadshot. Great book and really puts all the pieces of what makes him tick. Written and drawn by the creative team that made the suicide squad makes this a very good book if you focus on story more than art. Google please release the suicide squad already!!!!!
