Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay Release Date, Special Features, Creative Team & Cover Art Revealed




Who’s ready to watch Task Force X go on another ridiculously dangerous mission? The treacherous team’s next animated adventure, Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay, will be available on Digital March 27, 2018 and on Ultra HD, Blu-ray Combo Pack, and DVD April 10, 2018.

Information about the plot and cast has already been released – click here for that info – but now we know that the animated adventure will be directed by Sam Liu (Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies) and it’s written by Alan Burnett (Justice League vs. Teen Titans, Justice League: Gods and Monsters). Executive Producers are James Tucker and Sam Register.

According to Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Vice President Mary Ellen Thomas, Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay is a “definite thrill ride for fans, mixing non-stop action with plenty of humor – all while watching villains go head-to-head with villains.” You can bet I'll have a spoiler-free review posted as soon as I'm able to! In the meantime, see below for the trailer and special features.

There's a good variety of special features and I’m glad the Suicide Squad is squaring off against other villains – that has the potential for a lot of fun since both sides can totally let loose. I’m definitely going to add this one to my collection.

Comic Book Battles: Green Arrow vs Old Man Logan

For the second edition of Comic Book Battles (click here for the first fight), I thought it would be fun to use two heroes with completely different strengths and tactics: DC's Emerald Archer versus Marvel's Elderly X-Man!   Even in his old age, James ‘Logan’ Howlett, aka Old Man Logan, is tough to drop and he’s a talented brawler; however, his options in a battle are very limited. Oliver Queen, aka Green Arrow, may not be the best fighter in his universe, but he makes up for that with astonishing accuracy and cleverly using a variety of trick arrows that range from sonics to explosives. To better picture the entertaining encounter, imagine this fight takes place in a generic city setting. It’s nighttime, the street’s unpopulated (aside from the two heroes, of course), and they’ve spotted each other from a pretty good distance – let’s say 100 feet or so. This is a completely random encounter, meaning neither hero knows anything about their enemy – they’re from

Comic Book Battles: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vs Kraven the Hunter

Sergei Kravinoff, aka Kraven the Hunter, prides himself on being the best hunter in the Marvel Universe. He loves nothing more than the thrill of the hunt and he’s set his sights on Spider-Man, Tigra, Black Panther, Daredevil, Black Widow, Scarlet Spider, and many others. What would happen if this formidable foe bumped into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the IDW Publishing series, though? Would Kraven’s tactics allow him to defeat the four mutant brothers, or would the Heroes in a Half Shell take down Spidey’s savage villain? Will my favorite team or my favorite villain be left standing when the dust settles? To keep the fight as fair as possible, let’s imagine this encounter takes place in a generic city setting at night and, aside from the combatants, it’s unpopulated. This is a totally random encounter, meaning the two sides know nothing about each other and they’ll have to learn more about what they're facing throughout the brawl. The Ninja Turtles just know that

Comic Book Conversations #9: Andrea Sorrentino

For the ninth edition of Comic Book Conversations, I’m thrilled to welcome Andrea Sorrentino to the interview segment! Best known for his work on Green Arrow, Old Man Logan, Gideon Falls, and I,Vampire, the artist shares details about his creative process, explains why he reads reviews of his work, and gives aspiring artists some great advice. Plus, he offers some insight into one of Old Man Logan’s unforgettable double-page spreads. Now, let’s get to know Andrea a little better! GREGG KATZMAN: When did you realize you wanted to become an artist and what inspired you? ANDREA SORRENTINO: I’ve always liked to draw, since when I was a kid. I clearly remember this drawing I did when I was at the primary school, I think it was an animal in a jungle, and everyone liked it so much that it remained hooked in our room for a while. I think that was the very first push I had to keep drawing. But talking about comics, I’m not sure. I grew up reading Disney comics during
