I am SOOO happy that Giganta finally found out, i really hope she. ... actually there is nothing she can do that i don't think would be justified. and i dont think there is enough she can do to him, so yeah.
From Doris' point of view, it's just payback. It's not she would've tortured the guy if he didn't ask for her boyfriend's shrunken corpse to be delivered to him in a matchbox.
And now she has Dwarfstar's shrinking belt. I hope she keeps it and stays with the Six. Having Pym-esque size changing powers gives her a lot of versatility-- and gives the Six a (semi) heavy-hitter in a team saturated with Badass Normals.
The minimum amount of pages you can post from a new comic is four. This little scene is only three pages. Why did you leave the first page out here? Did someone already post two other pages from this issue?
That said, I know people were waiting for this, and I hope I am not alone in expressing my satisfaction.
True but it's still nice to see Doris get some sort of reaction to Ryan's death, and a little bit of vengeance.
Personally I'd like to see her take down Deathstroke's Titans after this, really build her up as a threat worthy of one of DC's supposed Trinity, but I doubt that'll ever happen.
Not that I'm condoning torture or anything, but this guy deserves it, and it is Giganta...
Diana's Rogues never get the respect they deserve, but they're on the level of Bruce's Rogues when it comes to being dangerous, and what they're capable of.
I feel bad for enjoying this so much, then I go and re-read the Atom TPB with "Jet-Pack Hitler" and feel that Giganta can take all the time she wants, and I'll happily offer to resharpen anything that gets blunt.
I'm hoping the punchline to this punchline is that Ryan revealing it was all a fake out, and Giganta quickly throwing a matchbox she keeps on her dresser out the window as she goes to hug him.

Well, can't say that I cheer for even fictional torturers (which is one of the reasons I've found myself less and less enamored with the Secret Six), but I don't deny that my reaction to the first part of this beating was a 'Heh, serves you right.'
In my head this scene plays out as Giganta=Gail Simone and Dwarfstar=DC Editorial/Whoever OKed the killing of Ryan. Maybe that's not how she wrote it or how she meant it but as the immortal Bob Ross used to say "you can do anything in your own little world".
I love this. Of course she tortures him. She's a VILLAIN. Hopefully she kills the little punk too.
If you really think she should have sent him a "I'm sad you killed my boyfriend" Hallmark card then you shouldn't be reading Secret Six. Tiny Titans is on the shelf a little further on down the rack in the "T's".
Worth the wait. Not exactly worth "Villains For Hire," but now that Dwarfstar is no doubt suffering beyond my capacity to understand, the healing can begin.
"Let me explain something: I fought Wonder Woman, champ."
I always love it when this gets brought up with Diana's rogues. They're not as iconic, and they can get goofy as hell, but these are guys that regularly go toe to toe with freaking Wonder Woman. They're dangerous, and pity the poor schmuck who forgets it.
I hope she uses the belt, but I doubt she'd need Dwarfstar to explain it. This is, after all, a woman who built a machine to switch brains with someone else.
I think that if there's one thing that we can all agree on, it's that we don't see eye to eye (so to speak) on the whole "an eye for an eye" thing. That football has been kicked around literally since time immemorial.
yeah. i dont normally agree with it, but i DO understand it. and i can honestly say... i do NOT know what side of the coin i would land on if some one hurt some one i loved...
welll no if i am being completely honest, i have said on more than one ocassaion. i am a nice guy, i would do anything to avoid a conflict, hell hurt me if it saves some one else... but if you EVER EVER touch some one I love GOD help you because HE would be the only one who could.
Again, this is supposition at best, for all i know if some one hurt some one i loved i would be an emotional wreck and catatonic so... yeah...
