DC Films's Suicide Squad opened this week, to impressive box office numbers, if not so impressive reviews. But here at Crisis On Infinite Midlives, Rob in particular is a fan of John Ostrander's and Kim Yale's 1980s original DC comic, so we went out of our way to see the flick, excited to spend Sunday preparing to talk about it, in depth during this week's show.

Then Rob's day job called him on on Saturday night and worked him like a dog until 5:45 a.m. Sunday morning.

But we refused to let that stop us! So we spent our few waking hours today rereading dozens of issues of Ostrander's Suicide Squad (and a few more modern issues, and even a few issues of Michael Fiffe's Copra for some flavor), hashing out problems with the movie, discussing the differences between Ostrander's nihilist Deadshot versus Will Smith's devoted dad, arguing about whether the movie's Harley Quinn was insanely devoted to Joker or ready to accept herself as a massively anti-social person, and whether three naps in a single 14 hour span is healthy.

So you're in for a unique show: we taped this late, didn't have time to really edit it at all, and recorded it in a state of profound fatigue hysteria. And we still somehow found the wherewithal to discuss DC Rebirth Suicide Squad #1, written by Rob Williams with art by Phillip Tan!
