Some thoughts about Suicide Squad's Most Wanted: El Diablo and Boomerang #2

The Suicide Squad is in danger.

El Diablo needs to escape from Amanda Waller one way or another and Captain Boomerang will have to do something he never thought: Help others.

Thought this worked better but just barely.

Jai Nitz continues his story focusing on Chato Santana and sadly, he continues to portray him as a simply gang leader with not a lot of personality beyond that which makes this portrayal way too derivative for its own good. There are good aspects though like the mention of the first El Diablo, Lazarus Lane, which hints to bigger world around the protagonist but the constant jumps between segments to tell the story can make the pacing pretty erratic.

Cliff Richards handles the artwork and is pretty solid with very detailed character models and nice visuals.

Michael Moreci concludes his story about Captain Boomerang and is a bit of an improvement with more interesting and natural dialogue here and there while also having more enjoyable interactions between the members of the cast. Is not spectacular though, just serviceable.

Oscar Bazaldua handles the pencils and once again, is better than in the last issue with more refined characters and a better sense of storytelling.

Still not a must read but it could have been worse.
