YES.

I was waiting for secret six to get better again, and my god, the wait is over.

SPOILERS of course, Secret Six issue 25


I have enjoyed this issue more than any other I can recall, maybe the exception being when the gang hired a stripper to dress up like Scandals dead girlfriend to cheer her up.






Blake gets naked and punches a lion, hilarity ensues.


SO MANY GOOD THINGS.
The last page made me laugh too, but I didn't want to post all the good things.

Also Black Alice is back, but she wasn't that annoying in this issue. The fact Giganta is in totally makes up for it.

I was thinking the other day about lesbian characters, and I totally forgot Scandal. I remember I got tired of all the cheesy "because he's GAY" punchlines when Trickster and Piper were broin' around, but can't there be a happy medium? I am glad she's treated like a character and not That Gay Character, so that's actually a huge plus. But it would be nice if it came up once in a while, you know?


Characters: king shark, catman, banshee, giganta, dwarfstar, black alice, ragdoll, scandal savage, bane, writer: Gail Simone.

I don't really know what you're referring to, because Scandal's entire character arc is her getting over Knockout's death and her budding relationship with Liana.

I think Scandal is portrayed exactly how any character, gay or straight, should be portrayed in comics.
