Regardless of its parallels to a cheesy Nicholas Cage movie, the Secret Six is a delightfully refreshing book, and one not to be missed. The team of Simone and artist Nicolas Scott is one of the best creative dynamics in comics, and Scott once again doesn't disappoint with her depictions of humorous situations and beautiful yet realistic female characters. Here, she also shows herself to be quite comfortable diving into the blood and guts of life as a super-villain. This looks like it's going to be one hell of a ride. Long live the Secret Six!

I really hope Secret Six stays around for a good long time.

The Secret Six is a perfect example of the saying, There are no bad characters, only bad writers. Read Full Review

I'm also amazed at how interested I am in Jeanette/Silver Banshee as a character. Her portrayal as the ultimate empowered victim is fascinating, and I hope Simone finds the time to delve further into her background soon. The strength of those elements helps to hide the weaknesses in the script. It seemed at times with this story arc that the writer bit off a bit more than she could chew. All of the ideas were mature and intriguing, but there just seemed to be too much going on at once. I think the Amazon storyline, the private-prison angle and the Grendel subplot all could have supported storylines on their own, and incorporating all of them into the same story might have been something of a misstep. Nevertheless, this arc did more things right than wrong, and I remain a fan of t Read Full Review
