In chapter two of the three-part epic "The Darkest Horse," the team finds out the terrible conditions required to use a "Get Out of Hell Free" card that allows them to retrieve the body and soul of a fallen loved one! But who has the card, and who do they want to bring back from Hell itself?
Simone and Califiore have an awe-inspiring understanding of each other, and it shows with the way that this book has consistently become bolder, daring and a must-read every single month. If you're not following Secret Six, you should start, or face eternal damnation. Read Full Review
There's not much I didn't like here. Catman running off seems a bit odd, and going to see his father odder still, but I will hold judgment until we find out why he did this. For all I know he's going to beat on the man some, and Mr. Blake Sr certainly has it coming. When Catman is confronted by a demon along the way, he bests it very easily, which seems a bit odd to me, but maybe the rules are different down in Hell. I'd also like an explanation as to how one of the New Gods ends up in the "regular" Hell. Read Full Review

A grim (but very powerful) issue that sets up a fantastic set of conflicts, and the potential for an excellent finale. I'm really, really looking forward to seeing how the rest of this story plays out. Read Full Review
There have been a lot of breaking points for the Secret Six throughout this series. However, this latest arc actually feels like the one that could truly dismantle the team. That's quite the accomplishment, considering Gail Simone's impressive resume on this title. It also makes this story feel as big as it should be. Read Full Review
The last panel does give us a bit of a surprise and should make the final issue of this storyline worth reading, but I'll just be glad when things get back to “normal” for the team. Hit-and-Miss. Read Full Review
