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.

Naked Catman makes everything more awesome.

Wasn't Scandal involved with Liana in the last ish? The old West one? I thought that was made clear? I can't remember now, though.

-The fact Giganta is in totally makes up for it.-

Oh, Giganta. Stuff is going to boil over there.

[twomasks]

Could King Shark be anymore awesome?

[silverzeo]

I thought King Shark only talked in the Water.... now I just want him and Superboy bounces off their cheesy lines.

I'm confused.

You were waiting for it to get good? When on Earth did it stop being good?

[cypherfdp]

Oh God, I'm seriously in love with King Shark.

[sinisterlink]

Catman seems to get naked A LOT. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

[bariman]

King Shark is here? The old Superboy villain? Huh.

Maybe I should repost that time King Shark tried to kill Jimmy Olsen while he was dressed up as Black Canary. King Shark, that is, not Jimmy. Not that I would put it past* Jimmy to dress up in fishnets and tights.

*(By the by, should that be "put it past" or "put it passed"?)

Personally my favorite part was the reference to Ryan Choi.

Dwarfstar: Hmm, been to a place like this once when I fought the Atom.
Giganta: Really? You've fought him? We're dating.
Dwarfstar: Really now? What a small world.

I'm waiting to see things collapse on Dwarftar amazingly quickly if she finds out. It give me hope.

"But it would be nice if it came up once in a while, you know?"

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.

"JAWS 7: EVEN MORE REVENGE!!"

I nominate that as best line from a comic book of the week.
