    Headcast Network Special: Head MIA!?!

    I know it's a been a month or two since you've heard from me, but reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. Brother Head is still here. And this mini episode hopefully explains why.

    Head Speaks and my other shows are returning to the airwaves soon!

A Brilliantly Fun Retrospective Analysis

I highly recommend this in-depth and loving retrospective analysis of the Suicide Squad comic book series of the late 80's to early 90's. The host Aaron Moss is a true aficionados of this landmark and groundbreaking series. This podcast is a must for any fan of classic sequential art and storytelling.
This podcast provides an in-depth analysis of both the silver age and modern incarnations of the Suicide Squad. I was presently stunned to find that someone was producing a dedicated forum for such an under appreciated cult favorite.
Thank you Aaron for creating this wonderful online community for both old and new Suicide Squad fans. I'm overjoyed listening to your retrospective analysis and comprehensive coverage of this landmark series. It's so great to find another die hard fan of such an original concept as the Suicide Squad. The Ostrander / Kupperberg Era of DC's gritty espionage storytelling will always have a very special place in my heart.
Once again from the bottom of this fanboys heart I thank Aaron for creating a place where fans of Suicide Squad can celebrate this wonderful series. I'm truly loving your detailed issue by issue breakdowns, character profiles, footnotes and annotations. I salute your loving dedication and thank you for your hard work in presenting this content to the fan community at-large. Thanks again Aaron for all that you do and to the fans out there, do yourself a favor and listen to this podcast.

An Informative and Entertaining Show!

With so much buzz surrounding the upcoming Warner Bros. film SUICIDE SQUAD, it’s terrific to find a podcast dedicated to the terrific source material published by DC Comics in the late ‘80s.

Aaron Moss is a great host for this show. His knowledge of the comics and characters is obvious and his passion is contagious. I’ve only read a few Suicide Squad comics from the era that Aaron has started chronicling, but listening to this show has be itching to revisit those issues and continue my collection.

TASK FORCE X is an awesome and entertaining podcast and I highly recommend it!
