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 Vol 5: Walled In by Matt Kindt (Writer), Jim Zub (Writer), Sean Ryan (Writer), Patrick Zircher (Artist), Andre Coelho (Artist), Rafa Sandoval (Artist), Jason Masters (Artist), Carlos Rodriguez (Artist), Jim Fern (Artist), Scott Hanna (Artist), Jordi Tarragona (Artist), Roger Robinson (Artist), Wayne Faucher (Artist), Jason Keith (Colorist), Brett Smith (Colorist), Andrew Dalhouse (Colorist), Matt Milla (Colorist), Blond Hifi (Colorist), Jared K Fletcher (Letterer), and Carlos M. Mangual (Letterer)


Belle Reive has been taken over by the inmates and Waller is trying to take it back because The Thinker who is behind it and he has an evil plan to let them all go and take over the world.  The Thinker is working with the Crime Syndicate who has promised him a body to put his great mind in seeing as he has used his mind to such a degree that it has deteriorated his body.  Waller hides out in the control room and hopes for help from the Suicide Squad.

Meanwhile, The Thinker has been busy sending Waller's hologram to superheroes around the world calling for their aid and gets Power Girl, Warrant, Steel, and unknown Soldier to go and get OMAC suit. At the same time, he has sent the Suicide Squad consisting of Boomerang, Deadshot, and Harley Quinn to do the same thing, hoping that one group will bring him the suit.

James Gordon Jr. is working on the inside trying to help Waller in any way he can and King Shark is helping The Thinker who has promised him to get back at Waller.  Waller, on the other hand, has promised King Shark the identity of his father if he helps her.  Harley doublecrosses everyone and decides to do what The Thinker wants as long as its fun and causes mayhem.

The heroes and the villains decided to work together to go up against The Thinker, though the heroes have their doubts about the goodness in Waller.  But Waller has made many promises to both sides to get them to help her including letting loose the dangerous Kane who is a god and King Shark's father to go after The Thinker who now has the suit. The only problem is the suit's original designer, Kevin Cho is supposedly still inside alive and well and wants a chance to win the suit back over before Waller destroys it and him with it.

This comic also comes with a story at the beginning of the book about Waller transferring an important scientist whose creation is wanting payback.  I really loved this book and its mini background stories on some of the players like unknown Soldier, Steel, Boomerang, and Deadshot.  It's the characters that really make this comic work and the addition of the heroes was an interesting touch.  Overall this was a great book and I give it five out of five stars.
