Secret Six 36 Thats all Folks.

[BlackKnight]

So They all Get Juiced up on Venom , then Get thier Arses Handed to them by 55% of the DC Universe Heroes on some Bane Quest to Destroy Batman that Went No Where. Seemed Forced, Rushed and Thrown together to just End the Book. Lame Ending to 1 of the Best DC Books the past 3 years. I'm gonna go and Cry Now.

It'll be ok BK. Don't be sad. Pretty much everyone that loves comics is getting screwed by the reboot.

It was a poor ending for sure. The whole Bane takes control thing was forced.
Sad to see this one ending, it was one of DC's best. Hoping Jeannette finds a place in the new DCU, as well as Rag Doll & his sister Junior. Catman I think will show up, but Deadshot has that god-awful new costume in Suicide Squad.

There's always back issues to re-read...

On the other hand, business as usual if you are into current runs of Green Lantern, Aquaman and Batman. Bonus points if you are a Barbara Gordon fan... Particularly if you were following Birds of Prey written by Simone.

It is a shame with Secret Six... How often does DC launch a new concept using lower tier characters with this kind of longevity? The last time was probably Birds of Prey.

I probably won't be following her over to Firestorm though. I'd guess a big part of Secret Six's demise is Gearing up for Bane to join the A-list next year with the Dark Knight Rises.

And is Deadshot going over to a new Suicide Squad?

[samurainoir]

Just checked... I guess this is the other big reason... Not sure if Catman, rag doll, and vandal savage's daughter could sustain a series on their own.

What The Hell Are Those Aweful Uniforms? Deadshot Is The Worst Yet. Harly Is Bad As Well, Loks Like A Prositute. But I Can Live With It (hers Only) I Think This Title I Will Cancel After The First Issue.

Suicide Squad Books are just not as Good as Secret Six Books to me ... This Team was Fantastic. The New Deadshot Costume is Frick'in Stupid and beyond words. His suit was Awesome.


I never liked Bane until Simone wrote him in this book. To build him up, and actually make him a much more Complex character over the years , then to take it all back in in an issue and a half just seems like a complete waste of time.

Janette's relationship with DeadShot was good ...
Ragdoll's a nut, but entertaining ...
The Chemistry Between Floyd and Blake was so Vincent and Jules ..., it was Awesome...
& I just finally build my DCU Bane figure ... I had Deadshot, and tracking down Catman Now .... It would be nice to have Scandle, Ragdoll and Janette ... but even with the future of those ..., all is just uncertain.

Looks like they are trying to cash in on her popularity in the Arkham City video game

It's horrendous what they have done to Harley. The fact that DC PTB doesn't appreciate Timm's simple but elegant designs speaks volumes about their decision making abilities.

I dunno; I can think of a few words: "painted-on junk."

>It's horrendous what they have done to Harley.

I agree. She looks like a generic bad guy from a Go Nagai comic.

It's apparently all done under Harley creator Paul Dini's purview. He's the one writing Arkham Asylum/Arkham City video games as well was the comic book tie in.

Yeah, but Dini didn't design Harley. His early drawings to Timm were printed in Chip Kidd's Batman: Animated book. She had the diamond covered harlequin look...sorta. It was very weak (he admits to being no artist). Timm's design was timeless. This is just frickin' ugly. Sheesh.
