Saw some original art from this issue online and realisd I'd always meant to share the issue. It's a minor story in many ways, Doug Moench writing the first of a sort of two part story which isn't major or "important", but to share Don Newton pencils with Alfredo Alcala inks and Adrienne Roy colours, is always a pleasure.

Secret Six #1

"Here’s the thing, the original Catman had a long history and most of it was as a cheap Batman knockoff who never accomplished anything. That made him a bit of a lovable loser, and I enjoyed that tremendously.
My thinking here is, what if Blake is actually the LEAST screwed-up person on the team? He’s a bit younger, a bit less history, but he’s been through an extraordinary ordeal and it’s left a crack in his armor a mile wide. It’s made him MORE dangerous." - Gail Simone

Secret Six #4 Preview
Jul. 9th, 2015 07:24 pmicon_ukAnd we get a reveal about one of the new characters which, I think, makes them unique in the big two comic universe's.
( and a nice reaction to it )

aekaJust in time for Tom Blake's New 52 debut tomorrow, here we celebrate the existence of a man who's had almost as many face changes as Doctor Who himself since his initial inception in 1963! (Also the year Doctor Who debuted, fyi).
( The Many Faces of Thomas Blake, aka The Catman! )
Also, sorry this is late. Photobucket wasn't cooperating with me ever since it received 938445989 upgrades. :(
As a reminder, please don't forget to tag your posts as Series: 31 Days Of Scans!

The Hatter versus the Doom Patrol
Dec. 27th, 2013 03:23 pmlego_jokerLove it or hate it (I sadly lean toward the latter of the two), Gail Simone's impact on post-2000s DC is immeasurable. It was she who made the Birds of Prey soar out from under the shadow of the Bat; she who finally gave Bane some manner of dignity and characterization to lift him out of his post-Knightfall slump; and she who took several villains that no one remembered anymore, assembled them all under the name of an equally forgotten team, and made both awesome beyond imagination.
All told, there are probably a hundred other accomplishments to her name, but there is one that remains of particular interest to me: what is arguably the most badass Mad Hatter appearance in the history of DC.
(Okay, so there's not really much competition, but still.)
It's a moment that's been talked about quite a few times on S_D, but I find it sadly unposted (perhaps a victim of the Great Purge?). So I present it here, in all its creepy glory.
( Behind the cut: Don't mock the turtle. )

DCU LGBT Coffee Day :D
Apr. 20th, 2012 08:02 pmshadowpsykieHey Guys. I don't know if this qualifies as a legality (is it fan art or a web comic as the artist does seem to post regularly?). I requested a drawing from NotThisCrap on Tumblr (who is fast becoming my FAVORITE artist ever) for my birthday a week ago, and i wanted to share it here,

My Favourite Catman/Deadshot Scene
Dec. 11th, 2011 04:02 pmaekaWhen Deadshot and Catman go shopping, it's best not to insult them with your amateurism at being a baddie.
( Yup Floyd. This is totally Justice League material here. At best no one got creamed by a pick-pocket! )

Secret Six #36 preview
Aug. 4th, 2011 01:09 pmsherkahnNewsarama has the preview of the final Secret Six (EVER) issue.
(looks around to see if anyone posted this yet).
Dammit, I am going to MISS this.
Let this ONE preview page remind you of what you are missing. What will be GONE.
NEVER MORE.
I need an Irish funeral for this. *off to the bar*
( sitting on the dock of the bay, wasting time. )

Secret Six #33 - Heaven and Hell
May. 6th, 2011 10:49 pmperletwoHi ho, 2 pages from Secret Six #33 here. You'll recall that when a preview page was posted showing Catman's reunion with his d-bag of a father in Hell, Papa Blake begged Tom to save him from a mysterious "she" who comes to torture him afresh every day. Betting on who the "she" is was pretty evenly split between Mama Blake and the lioness Papa Blake killed.
( Well... )
In other news, I continue to desire a Catman plushie doll. :D

perletwoReally? Nobody's posted anything substantial from Birds of Prey 11 yet? Just the bits and pieces of continuity dovetailing with Batgirl?
Well. Let's fix that, shall we? 3 pages of Huntress and Catman doing some dovetailing of their own.
The setup: Huntress is chasing jewel thieves ("Of course there was a jewel heist. It's Gotham. And it's Thursday." ILU, Gail) who've shot a guard and taken a hostage - a severely asthmatic hostage with no inhaler who's a prime candidate for death by misadventure. She's slugging it out with one thug when Catman shows up, looking to revisit that, umm, whatever they had back in Birds of Prey v1 #106-107, I think? Hel maintains she's busy, so Catman agrees to help her hunt.
They find the second thug, and Catman loses points for hitting Rickie's pregnant girlfriend (in fairness, she was leaping at him claws-out at the time), but gains points for getting wounded while taking Rickie down and eliciting the name of a third thug; the fourth crew member, the client, none of them knew.
( Which leads to this exchange )
Thoughts?
