Secret Six #28 preview

[sherkahn]

DCU, has the preview for issue #28.

The supply of fresh troops and ammunition is almost up, and soon only the strong shall stand against one another. Where will the Six stand?



Black Alice may be a fighter, but not a warrior who can wade through the carnage.


And is it me or are the Skartaris outfits a little more "gay friendly" than usual? Because Lawton reminds me of Shore Leave of the Venture Brothers.

Well Gail always said she wanted to turn things on their head by making the guys in SS the eye candy rather than the girls like in most superhero comics, so I guess its taking the traditional sword and sandals costumes and having a little fun that way.

[northstarfan]

I get the joke, but I'm finding the midriff-bearing, impractical armor as annoying on Deadshot as I do on women.

[bariman]

If you're going to stab someone, you would aim for the heart and lungs for the most part, and if you're doing a lot of acrobatics you don't want something covering up your stomach and hindering your movement. So it sorta makes sense. (At least that's what my guide for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood says about the chest armor.)

That's basically an entry requirement for Skartaris, ain't it? If it ain't gay, go away. Or some such motto.

Shore Leave and Deadshot. There is a team up I can fully get behind.

[shadowpsykie]

so which character is Bi?

i remember a while back that Gail teased that one of the male members (or suspected that a male member) was supposed to be revealed as Bi later on? im just curious if that has been revealed yet?

[destroyed]

Ragdoll. Clearly.

[terrykun]

The biology student in me wants to say Catman. The psych student in me wants to say Deadshot.

[whitesycamore]

Eh? I'm a bit confused about what you could possibly mean by this. Biology? Is Catman known to have a number of older brothers or a gay identical twin or something?

[sherkahn]

You're confused? I read terrykun's line
The biology student in me wants to say Catman. The psych student in me wants to say Deadshot.
and I thought "wow, it's a party!"

I keed, I keed.....

Lions aren't terribly picky about same-sex shagging to assert dominance.

Kind of puts Thundercats in a new and terrible light.

[nezchan]

Terrible?

[terrykun]

Remember his actual age.

[nezchan]

Now wait, wouldn't that default with Panthro being leader then?

[tsunamiwombat]

He was.

In the Bedroom.

[joasakura]

and I want to say that there's been a smattering of semi nude catman and deadshot on my tumblr feed lately, so I'm good either way.

or both.

you know.

[sherkahn]

Obviously Ragdoll.

[vspope]

Too easy. I think it'd be more difficult to name things with which Ragdoll _wouldn't_ experiment.

[hyperactivator]

Bane is gay for Batman but I don't know if that counts.

[likeaminx]

It doesn't.

Everyone is gay for Batman.

[recognitions]

And no one's gay for Moleman.

[thatnickguy]

I was under the assumption that it was a necessity to be bi to be a member of the Secret Six.

[retro_nouveau]

"Gay friendly"? No het women like this? I'm a little surprised. Well, I love it, especially Tom's. Signs of a misspent youth with Thomas/Buscema Conan... The only thing that bugs me is that Scandal is wearing nothing on her butt but the thong she brought with her. I like thongs, but not when everyone else is in a loincloth. Scandal would be more at home in the Savage Land, maybe?

Warming up to Alice a little, I didn't realize she's not fine with killing.

Floyd: ... but you're just gonna get killed here.
*BLAM* *BLAM*
Alice: OW! RIGHT IN MY EAR, THANKS A LOT!
*click* *click*
Floyd: Huh. Out of ammo. Ain't -
Alice: WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU! XD

[midnightvoyager]

While true, I wouldn't bitch when the shooting by my ear saved my life. Heh.

[whitesycamore]

"Gay friendly"? No het women like this? I'm a little surprised.

Anything that sexualises guys must be described as "gay-friendly" or "homoerotic", because women don't actually have eyeballs. Come on, we all know it was men who invented looking at stuff!

[retro_nouveau]

Definitely. And "clothes make the man", "every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man", "lie back and think of England" and all that. Can't question those standards, can we.

[sherkahn]

Look at Lawton. then look at your keyboard, then look at Floyd again.

Notice how he has FUR on the shoulders of his chain mail, mid-drift baring shirt. I understand that it's hot there. But what is the practical nature of FUR on the shoulder pads? Impractical tufts of white, billowing fur. This should be a Catman outfit, if anything, but it's on Floyd.

[icon_uk]

It's to prevent chafing at the place where the torso mail meets the sleeves.

[recognitions]

I was wondering why Floyd looked so much more bulked up.

[glprime]

Because Lawton reminds me of Shore Leave of the Venture Brothers.

"BOOM! Yummy!"

I'm gonna miss them being on hiatus.

[proteus_lives]

"Sphinx!"

Shore Leave is such a break-out character.

I shall miss them too.
