One page from preview of "Secret Six #16" currently visible here at Newsarama (But be warned that the preview pages are out of order)

And here we see the Phantom Stranger's new look, and he's never been happier



Okay, I'm fibbing, it's the return of Black Alice!

Of Black Alice's "Shazam" look?

I would have much preferred to see Mary in something like that.

That is kinda sexy

Except that that is evil/sexy, whereas Mary was evil/corrupted and so sort of had to look twisted. It was OTT because she was corrupted by Darkseids power, making her look sexy would have been A) cliched as hell and b) against everything we know about Apokalips, it's not just evil, it's the embodiment of corruption.

I don't like the Mary Dark-vel look at all, but I can sort of see what they were aiming for.

I understand the Darkseid Mary from Final Crisis look (I don't like it but I understand it) and the fact that it was so different from her normal appearance (as seen when she turned back) made it more striking.

What I personally was freferring to was the black gloved/fingered mini-mini-mini-skirt and black outfit they gave her in Countdown (where she was NOT controlled by Darkseid). Which served no other purpose but to expose flesh and give the (bad) artists of Countdown an excuse to do at least one panty shot of a minor child everytime she appeared.
