I kind of understand the premise of this book. What I don't understand is why we'd really care to read it. Basically, Amanda Waller, I think as part of her Suicide Squad operation, has decided that the world has had enough of these super powered psychopaths. So they've been gathering them up, for the last couple of months, and are sending them of to an uninhabited planet for them to live out the rest of their days. The first batch that's sent includes Captain Cold, Abra Kadabra, Weather Wizard, Mirror Master and Heat Wave. But, I thought Heat Wave had gone legit. Maybe I was mistaken. Well the planet they're sent to . . . I guess they're calling it Salvation . . . isn't as uninhabited as they were led to believe. There's all forms of dangers here. But in the 2 weeks that our little band have been here, if they've learned nothing else, it's that they need to work together. They start doing the usual survival stuff. Cataloguing threats. Cataloguing plants and vegetation. And searching for a "safe zone" that they were informed about, by some little monkey like creatures they had captured. But then, 2 weeks later, they hear the roar of another boom tube. They don't really care who they've sent. They think about looking for them for rations or supplies, but they weren't sent with any, why should anyone else be? But they finally decide to find them because . . . there may be some females. As it turns out there's about 23 people in the second wave. But there's still only about 5 women. Those chicks are gonna be busy. But one of them is Killer Frost, so she's kind of out of the picture. So where do we go from here? Are we just gonna watch the group run around the planet like a bunch of chattering chimps? I don't know. And I'm not really sure that I care. Bill Willingham wrote it and Sean Chen does the art.
