Arrow Season 3 is getting ready to begin, but before the premiere date there is the little matter of Season 2.5. The digital comic expands on some of the last season’s cliffhangers, as well as continuing the adventures of some of your favorite characters. Some of the series’ breakout characters include, Deadshot, Bronze Tiger, and the unseen Harley Quinn. Together they are known as The Suicide Squad, a group of supervillains turned secret government agents. The group is so popular that there is even talk of them receiving a spin off:
The co-writer and producer of the Arrow Season 2.5 digital comic, Keto Shimizu, recently spoke with The Nerdist about expanding on The Suicide Squad’s story:
"Certainly we get to go bigger and bolder in this format, doing things that we can’t really accomplish with our production schedule and with our production budget--really spectacular action sequences, huge explosions. In addition to that we can go places we can’t go in the show. We’re going to be doing a Suicide Squad [story] throughout this series that will be pages here and there and then wrapping up with a double digital issue/single print issue. That will take us to [the country of] Kahndaq, which is something we could never do on the show just because it’s impossible to shoot it. We’ll get to get into some geopolitics that we normally don’t really do on the show, a political fantasy of 'What if the Suicide Squad could go in and fix some of these awful things that are happening in the world?' [Laughs.]"
