7. Movie – Deadshot
Comic – Deadshot: Beginnings
Yes, DC has said that they’re making a Deadshot movie. Whether they do or not remains to be seen, but it gives me an excuse to recommend this four-issue miniseries from the height of the Suicide Squad comic book.
The mini, written and drawn by the same creative team as the main book (Ostrander, Yale, McDonnell), is obscenely dark and bleak. If you think I only recommend fun and cheery things, let this set you straight. This one is not for the faint of heart. It follows Deadshot as he tries to get his son back from a kidnapper and goes AWOL from the Squad. His psychiatrist goes after him to find the origins of his violent demeanor.
This one is pretty much Taken with a supervillain, and it goes to darker places than any Hollywood movie usually does.
But if you’re looking for a great Deadshot story that delves straight to the heart of the character, this is arguably the best one to read.
