The latest issue of Secret Files just could not dissapoint. What to expect from anything featuring Psycho Pirate? Here is a good reason why this character has survived every generation of the DCU.
Filled with existentialist themes to further push the narrative in the main Infinite Frontier series, the best really had been saved for last with a classic interrogation featuring some of the most thought-provoking dialogue I have read in years.
I will take Bones' & Pirate's conversation about stoicism with me for the rest of my existence dealing with emotion. And that's not on every new comic book day, thanks to the way "life" is set up.
The bar has been raised here with this series, that not even the return of the Batman Adventures or those shorts with Vixen & Red Hood in "Truth & Justice" really could accomplish (though they were great in their own right).
This line of Secret Files shorts punctuated here let comic book heads everywhere know that DC Digital Firsts' actually can carry some weight.
Whoever drew this needs to be hired for the next Digital First title because the marriage of illustration and script here (penned by Lucifer legend Dan Watters) is what comic books are made of, not just thrown together like most straight to digital books after Tim Kring's webcomic of Heroes was getting compiled to be published under Wildstorm (look it up).

Probably the best of these short little digital chapters. Dan Watters is a great writer, and I hope he gets more work. He proves himself time and time again, and yet he's not on any major titles.
