A good issue, filled with skewed moralities and twisted personalities, that miraculously even makes me like Artemis a little. Read Full Review

With Simone and Scott at the helm, Secret Six keeps getting better and better, to the point where it's now scary good. If you're reading this series, you're witnessing one of the greatest collaborations currently at work in comics. And if you're not, I don't know what you're waiting for. Read Full Review

Secret Six is a book about a group of questionable characters who take up odd jobs for money. Lead by Deadshot the team consists of Bane, Ragdoll, Catman, Scandal Savage and a sixth character named Banshee, I think. (DC can definitely benefit from a recap page or at the very least character introductions for the unschooled such as myself.) Carrying over from last issue, which currently has gone unread, the team is working for a wealthy business man named Mr. Smyth. Smyth seems to live on an island where he is building a new society founded on the backs of criminals and slaves. Somehow he has enslaved a few Amazons including Artemis who has been bound and drugged. The real conflict of the issue centers around the six and the roles they must play. For a team who is supposed to depend on each other their moral ambiguity leads to dissention. Some members consider themselves professionals and once their word is given the job must be completed no matter how much their feelings may play into Read Full Review

The art does have a grim tone to it while still making the story clear and easy to follow. But it relies on too many close-in shots to convey emotion and the fight scene at the end is drawn in a way that makes it look static and dull-- almost as if it was just a backdrop for some more wisecracks and clever remarks. The cover is also rather unremarkable. It makes Artemis look like a chorus girl lost in a forest.. Read Full Review

Please Gail, end this dumb story and return the Six back to their earlier, badass persona's! Read Full Review
