I was a little leery that Gail Simone wasn't writing the script for Secret Six #23, but she should be proud... because John Ostrander was able to deliver, and in one issue too. Yes.... a story...all contained...in one issue (...hear William Shatner in my voice?). It's unbelievable that DC actually makes those anymore.
FULL REVIEW Some Spoilers.
Did I say "Delivery"? or was that "Carry Out"?
What I meant to say is Ostrander "Handed Out" a Whuppn'.
For the first few pages of the issue, I was a little put off, because I didn't know what was going on. Yeah...I was slow on the up take, but once I got to the main Secret Six, it was smooth sailing. Ostrander really knows the voices of the Secret Six, he had them all down pat. I didn't care much for the art, but it didn't detract from the story.
The Bad Guys were wealthy nerds that wanted to have a little fun at the Secret Six's expense. They just wanted to play tag using bullets..., that's all..., what could be the problem with that... he he he.
I actually think "the bad guys" would have a better chance if they had fought the six together, rather then separate them. They are more balanced when they are together. Instead of the really... unbalanced individuals that they are capable of being.
OKAY...Everybody SING!
WHat do we Do with a BENdy sailor, WHAT do We do with a BENdy sailor, whAT do wE do with aH benDY sailor..., Earl-y in the Morning!
