“Bane takes Charge”

So, here we are at issue #14 of the Secret Six. The big question is whether this series is primed to finally disappoint its readers? We at Jimmy in the Garden, myself in particular, have been quick to sing the praises of this book. In fact it has constantly been rated in my top five books for over a year now. You have to assume at some point, that even the best book is going to have a let-down issue. Is this the one?

The answer is absolutely, postively “NO!!!” Believe it or not, this series continues to ROCK! This is the final part of a five part arc that finds our villains trying to free a group of Amazons, stop a troop of government sanctioned slavers and not to kill one another. Will they succeed? I wouldn’t bet against them!

I sit here trying to figure out what makes this book so darn good. It is simple really. The characters are always consistent and their characterization is never and I mean NEVER compromised! These villains are portrayed for what they are and they haven’t been changed to make them become more reader friendly. Deadshot could at any moment kill anyone. Ragdoll is a complete fruitcake. Bane will fight you to the death, etc…

Now next issue has a guest writer. Maybe it will be the issue that lets me down…
