Gail Simone seems to have completely different personalities when she is writing “Wonder Woman” and “Secret Six.” She writes the Wonder Woman character as being noble, loving, wise – kind of a female Steve Rogers before Brubaker started writing him. This approach is probable why Simone’s take never excelled in terms of sales. Future “Wonder Woman” writers are going to have to work harder to find the dark interstices of Diana’s character if they want to increase her popularity. Gail Simone writes in a much less inhibited way in “Secret Six,” probably because she is dealing with anti-heroes. She lets her hair down and allows the dark roots to show by writing in a delightfully ironic, sarcastic, satirical and sardonic style. In this issue, the Six are infiltrating a religious cult that Simone satirizes in a manner that is so over the top, it’s hilarious. The cult’s head honcho has dialogue like, “Speak your praise onto our lord and master Brother Blood who delivered you from free will!” and “Do you pledge your soul, mind and body to us, and vow to die for any reason or no reason at all?” Rag Doll, who was previously mostly in the background, has his creepy character expanded upon by giving him more to do and say in this issue. The sex lives and consequences thereof of Deadshot and Catman are explored in this issue, and the Six appear to have been double crossed by their employer, leading to an interesting cliffhanger.
Nicola Scott’s eye candy is missed, but I enjoyed Calafiore’s art. His lines don’t seem to be quite as heavy as in the past.
Art: 4 - Very Good
