I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Suicide Squad: The New 52! Volume 2 Basilisk Rising by Adam Glass (Writer), Dan Abnett (Writer), Andy Lanning (Writer), Fernando Dagnino (Artist), Federico Dalliocchio (Artist), Jesus Siaz (Artist), Andres Guinaldo (Artist), Mark Irwin (Artist), Christian Alamy (Artist), Cliff Richards (Artist), Matt Yackey (Colorist), John Kalisz (Colorist), Jared K. Fletcher (Letterer), and Rob Leigh (Letterer)


At the end of the last book, Harley Quinn tried to take over the prison and escape to go to the police station and get the Joker's face that the cops had. She shot Deadshot and as a result, his aim is now off.  Lime is dead, King Shark ate Yo-Yo Man and Boomerang is no longer with them.  Harley ended up in a coma and the team is on ice for now.

Harley Quinn wakes up from the coma with the identity of Doctor Harleen Quninzel mostly in charge.  But there's no rest for the wicked and they're immediately sent out on a mission. When they return the real work begins and the toughest foe they've ever faced is coming their way.  Waller wants them to go after Basilik the head of an army of followers of criminals.

Light, Deadshot, Harley Quinn, King Shark, Iceman, Diablo, and Black Spider (a civilian vigilante ninja) head out with others on a plane but the plane is sabotaged.  Deadshot had been warned by Waller that there is a traitor on the team. Someone has been feeding info to the Basilik  But that's the only info Waller shares with the team. As usual, she keeps important information they need back and leaves them to be surprised when they get there.

Of course, they have to get there first. They come across some Mayans who practice the ancient art of sacrificing to their gods and have no idea how to get out of this situation.  This volume was even better than the first one. You get to know Waller better and find out how the Suicide Squad was formed.  Harley's acting like a psychiatrist some of the time and not her usual wacko self and you don't know who to trust. I highly recommend this book.
