Secret Six #16

[gargoylekitty]

With a two more for the 'Many Looks of Black Alice' and, as noted on Twitter...


First up, Black Alice stops Catman and Deadshot from ditching her.

Meh. Not too creative, just like your typical female version of the character with a lower/more angular dip in the front of the outfit.
Anyhow, she obviously succeeds so they head to a strip club, another attempt to ditch her.

Obviously, again, that fails.


With Scandal & co. there, they try to address the issue of 'Black Alice is definitely not joining them'(reason for her wanting to in the issue, go read!)

And they continue on the path of failing to get rid of her.

Not the biggest fan of Black Alice but it was an alright issue, only wish Scott had been on the art for it. :\

Ok, so the strippers are, in this order:

Mr. Mxysptlk, classic Eclipso, Harley, Knockout, Mr. Freeze, Bane, and Queen Bee.

Also: Black Alice should be the poster person for power perversion potential. (try saying that five times fast).

[benicio127]

That is a hot HQ stripper. Mmmhmmm.

[sherkahn]

what happened? Something feels off in the book.

[gargoylekitty]

Do you mean in the story, art, or something else? It the art, it's because the artist isn't the regular one.

[ian_karkull]

Credit where credit's due: DC would sell tons more issues if "it has strippers!" was the cover blurb for every single one of them.

By the way, has anyone mentioned how Ragdoll has no genitals? Because I'm sure as hell not tired of hearing that yet!

[theanswer]

The Mr. Mxyzptlk stripper is my favorite. I want her. <3

[dorksidefiker]

I'm in love with Black Alice's Banshee look. Does this make me a bad person?

[crinos]

Hey, if liking a cute goth chick whose power involves cosplaying as various magical heroes and villains is wrong, then I do NOT want to be right.

[mullon]

I wonder what the odds are that they'll get rid of Jeanette and replace her with Black Alice.

*fingers crossed*

[kingrockwell]

Noooooooooooo!! :(

[kamino_neko]

She rocks the Blue Devil look like Danny never did. >_> God DAMN.

The banshee look reminds me strongly of an ex for some reason....

[kingrockwell]

Did the ex have a thing for fetish wear and Squall-jackets?

[halloweenjack]

Anyone else reminded of a draenei by Black 'n' Blue Devil-Alice?

[majingojira]

I am Now.

[iskander]

Oh my....(opens nightstand drawer)

[espanolbot]

She thinks that Ragdoll is hot.

There, that should dose any flames.

[cmdr_zoom]

I have to wonder what Bane thought of "Bane."

And yes, I laughed out loud at Ragdoll.

maybe you missed this part

[kingrockwell]

Bane being any kind of sexual seems quite beyond my imagination.

[espanolbot]

A thought occurs, is this where Hal got the strippers for Ollie's bachelor party?

The ones that looks like their female teammates, enemies, as well as members of Gen-13 and the occasional Marvel superheroine?

[kamino_neko]

I suspect there are a LOT of strippers who specialize looking like supers in the DCU.

[robo_kai]

Wait, is Nicola Scott off the book? Nooooooo. :(

[kingrockwell]

She's busy with Blackest Night: Wonder Woman. Hopefully she'll be back in March!

[gailsimone]

Nicola's NOT off the book, she's doing WW:BN and a short special cool thing and then she's back with us.

And Jesus CHRIST I wish people would put the term "Mary Sue" in the grave where it belongs.

[batman]

And Jesus CHRIST I wish people would put the term "Mary Sue" in the grave where it belongs.

Thank you. I hate that term so very much, especially when applied to, of all people, Lori "I have genuine personality flaws that cause me to do dumb and reckless things all the time" Zechlin.

[scottyquick]

Is this Nguyen's first comic job? Really nice work for a first-timer.

And by "nice work" I mean "Catman was really hot", because that's all I care about.

[nerdrage]

it's his first full issue! his DA is over here, lots of nice art up.

[retro_nouveau]

A man who is slave to his own genitals is nonetheless a slave.

Turn in your man card, Bane. These are words of someone unfamiliar with ownership of a man's genitals. Show a man the right nudey booty and he'll forget his own name.

[bariman]

Given that he was into heavy steroid use for several years, he probably doesn't have much in the way of genitals any more.

[filthysize]

Argh. Finally, the first issue of Secret Six I didn't like (and I'm counting all the previous minis here). Had to happen sometime, I suppose, especially when the streak has been so fantastic.

This issue had very weird pacing. I had to flip back and forth to see if I didn't accidentally skip over a page or two.

[proteus_lives]

The strippers and Bane's reaction made me laugh!

[cmdr_zoom]

Apparently, one of the "banshee powers" that Alice stole was the Most Common Superpower. Just look at the cleavage in that last panel.

(I could have linked to TV Tropes. Am I not merciful?)

[kamino_neko]

She's not exactly unendowed (check her out in the Blue Devil look), and given anything to work with, the right garments can really work wonders.

[stig]

Okay, out of all of those, I think I like Mz. Xyzptlk best. She's really rocking the outfit there, despite being dressed as one of the least sexy characters in the entire DC Multiverse.

[ceebee_eebee]

STOP MAKING KNOCKOUT THAT SKINNY, GOD DAMN IT! One of the hottest things about her (and Barda, for that matter) is how friggin' HUGE they are. Tall and muscular and bad-ass awesome. She looks practically anorexic in these pics. GAH! I wouldn't have even recognized her if I hadn't checked the tags.

Hmph.

[kamino_neko]

That's not Knockout herself, it's Liana, a stripper who dresses as her.

She's appeared in a few issues of S6, and clearly has a crush on Scandal...who may have one in return, but the whole situation is a tad awkward.

[snugglebitch]

I'm confused about why supers (heroes or villains) would go to strip clubs when they live in a world where their co-workers dress pretty much the same way. I mean, in a mainstream title like this, this is as naked as they get.

Unless they just really like the dancing?

[northstarfan]

The odds of getting to have their co-workers naked on their laps is probably a lot smaller down at supervillain HQ. ;)

[hurricane-jam.livejournal.com]

...do not want :(

(except uh, the strippers. let's keep the strippers)

[ravenous_raven]

thanks for continuing on the Black Alice outfits theme. I love the punk/Victorian Banshee version, especially the earrings, skirt, and belt (though the face paint is a bit much...). whole outfit reminds me of this, really

[scottyquick]

I really liked this issue, mostly just because awwww, Liana :)

[superfangirl1]

Bane's reaction Hilarious!
