Secret Six #34


You can almost see Gail Simone saying goodbye to Bane. As the DCU wraps up and the characters align a bit more closely with their mass media counterparts, we can all expect Simone's complicated, soulful, violent Bane to be replaced by whatever the bosses have determined his "core character." Too bad, I love the big lug as Simone writes him. He's the one guy who beat Batman!

I was a bit shocked at how quickly the whole stripper stalker storyline is resolved, the Six just tracked the dude down and took him out. I mean, not everything would be tough for such a skilled group, but still... The issue is packed with small moments wrapping up the last few story arcs as the Six gradually accept that they have become family for each other.

The Six sure seem to be good friends to have. Sure, you end up dragged into their depraved and violent world, but at least they'll torture the hell out of anyone who wrongs you.
