Some wonderful character work and breathtaking art combine, but there's a hint of swan song in these pages that makes me sad... Read Full Review

This issue The Secret Six features strong characterization. Each of the characters feel alive and unique. They each are quirky in their own special way. They act and react like real people. It really speaks to the strength of Gail Simone's writing that I can say this about the crazy cast of characters. I even liked Batgirl (I haven't read any of her new series), which was a surprise. Another testament to the writing is, while I jumped into this series late the story was still incredibly engaging. Read Full Review

It seems our group is ready for another heroic rescue of a teammate from herself. The question is, when the dust settles who will still be standing? And, if the tease we see at the beginning of the issue is true, are we finally going to see Scandal Savage‘s path become more intertwined with the group? Worth a look. Read Full Review

Overall,Secret Six #12 is another solid issue in a series that feels like it's being unfortunately cut short. The series has done an excellent job building on it's cast, and despite this issue sidelining them a bit in favour of Batgirl, there's still a lot of great payoff for fans. If you've been reading the series, you should definitely pick this up, if you haven't? You're the reason I'll never truly be happy. Read Full Review

Secret Six #12 was a quick, fun, and engaging read. Gail Simone crafts an engaging script with tight action sequences and strong emotional moments for a number of different characters. What she does best is create the family feel of the team, showing how much each of the characters feels for each other. The artwork was very solid with some slick action panels mimicking the motion of Shiva's staff. There were some jarring issues with the art including Batgirl's odd neck in one panel. You will definitely want to pick this up if you have been following the series and if you are just looking to jump in, it's not a bad place to start. Read Full Review

Once again, this book disappoints me, and it's based off of some really poor decisions. If I had to make an assessment of why this book keeps falling short, I would say that Simone's heart isn't into it. There's no validation for that comment, but aside from some brief moments throughout the current run, there just doesn't appear to be much passion behind the writing" and it shows. At this point, I'm just hoping that the books improves slightly to end on a higher note. Read Full Review

This issue ends with the tagline "next issue: it just gets weird", which is saying something because THIS issue was weird. Batgirl joins in a fight with the Secret Six against Shiva Woosan, apparently of the League of Assassins. Batgirl gives up her awesome yellow boots. Strix beats up a bunch of armed guards, and everyone decide to come to Strix (aka her actual name " Mary ")'s rescue. Also there is some weird love triangle/sperm donor page at the beginning, and quite the shocker of a last scene- PLUS the biggest shock of the last page. So things get weird NOW?? OH, honey, they've BEEN WEIRD.
