Secret Six #17, Some Black Comedy Relief for Blackest Night

[thebigapricot]

This week's Secret Six continues the match-up of the living and Black Lantern Sixers vs. the living and Lantern Suicide Squad.

Ostrander and Simone have done a good job here in splitting up duties. The writing is seamless although you can kind of guess who wrote what. Here are a couple of pages with some dark humor that feels like Gail's writing.

Most of the Six is at Belle Reve except for Scandal who has been left to face down Amanda Waller and her minions.


Logically it should have grabbed Waller, but who wants to lose the Wall?
Back at Belle Reve the rest of the Six square off against the Squad. Black Alice and Bane fight off Count Vertigo and Nightshade. Catman and Bronze Tiger have a huge, bloody fight. And Jeanette and Ragdoll deal with Virtuosa.



That's the end of the funny though as Belle Reve comes under attack by Black Lanterns.

Virtuosa looks like a Raven knock-off......

[icon_uk]

Or she's actually a Hindu and that's a tilaki, or she's generally Asian and it's a bindi.

[halialkers]

Eh....it was my lazy eye more than anything else.

[icon_uk]

No, I can see where you were coming from with it... :)

[foxhack]

... who doesn't show more skin than someone from Baywatch.

Hey, it's an improvement!

[halialkers]

True dat.

[okkult3000]

Her and about 6 million Indian women who've ever worn a black dress.

[halialkers]

Eh....I had to read the thing twice before figuring it out that this *wasn't* Raven. Lazy eye is lazy.

Ya know, whatever happened to Baron Winters? Aren't the Secret Six basically squatting in his home?

Wonder why the Six went back, after it was compromised...

I thought they were in the House of Secrets which, along with the House of Mystery are where Cain and Abel live, they're between the Dreaming and reality IIRC. Baron Winters had a mansion of his own, with doors that led to different points in time and space, but it wasn't the House of Secrets.

Or have all these things changed?

[daningram.insanejournal.com]

I thought they were in Winters' place, but I may be mistaken.

Is that Gregory the Gargoyle?

[pyrotwilight]

Haha, Ragdoll's always confused so he has every emotion lighting up. XD

I honestly thought Fiddler was a female there when I saw her umm him.

[akodo_rokku]

I think less confused and more insane. Joker would probably show up similarly.

[theanswer]

I love that BL Fiddler looks like the Iron Maiden mascot.

[lamashtar]

I know. I want him to stay this way and be a modern villain again. :)

[icon_uk]

It might have been nice if Jeanette, being a Banshee, had been black herself, confusing the hell out of the BL's

[darklorelei]

That would definitely be cool.

[kamino_neko]

I choose to think that's Gregory who bursts out and grabs the Multipleces.

Since Cain's house went on walkabout, Greg decided to squat with Abel. Then his house went a-travellin', and took Gregory with it. Clearly.

[promethea4]

But he's OUR annoying little degenerate!

Please tell me the next page features the black lantern Fiddler looking confused and shocked by Ragdoll's "Please let ME kill her?!"
