Secret Six #21 (2008) $3.50 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
Written by Gail Simone Art by Jim Calafiore Cover by Daniel LuVisi This isn’t just a Catman story; it’s THE Catman story, as Thomas Blake continues his bloody trail of vengeance tracking the man who took away the only thing he ever cared about! Not for the faint-hearted! Also, Black Alice vs. Scandal Savage for the right to remain in the Secret Six! Date Available: 05/05/2010 BONUS REVIEW by GARY OWENS The name Secret Six goes back to the days of abolitionists, but this Secret Six is a book about six villains going on missions. For this issue, I prefer the abolistionist story. Simone kicks off the comic showing a jerk, who is somehow married…why a woman would stay with a guy who rips her blouse off, just to show others her body, is beyond unbelievable. But that attachment is necessary for the story, since there is a child, and the child must come from somewhere, right? And the last panel could only happen in comic books; not bad, in other cases, but too clichéd here. While I enjoy the Secret Six idea, and the art works, I hate screwy origins to show characters current behaviors. Keep it simple, please. I give it 4 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
