This book was my Pick of the Week. Not that this book blew me away, but really nothing in my stack blew me away this week. Sort of good no bad sort of week. This issue introduces us to the Flashpoint world versions of Shade and Enchantress. The story is well-written, but a little pedestrian. Where this book really shines is in the art. Secret Seven is penciled by the legendary George Perez and he puts out some expectedly amazing work. But I have to say the secret star of this book seems to be the colorist Fernando Blanco, who gives this the bleak faded-color look of an old Vertigo book. That, coupled with an almost Morrison-esque sense of the psychedelic make what would otherwise be a good-but-not-great comic into one that I recommend picking up.
Art: 5 - Excellent

I wasn’t feeling it. I read all of Flashpoint so far and this was the tie in I enjoyed the least. The thing is though, I’m not even familiar with Shade The Changing Man in the regular DC continity. Why should I give a shit about an altered version of him?

I’m not familiar either, But hey, George Perez. I don’t think this would have been my pick had my comics not been average to lackluster.
I just read issue one and will have to take a long look at issue 2 before picking it up. So far this was the Flashpoint tie-in I liked least.
The Perez art was great, but I don’t know enough about the main characters to care about them, and the writing does little to educate me about them in this issue.
