Secret Six #12

Wonder Woman comes off kind of rough in the newest chapter of the DCU's most vile super-team. I suppose we can excuse WW's behavior since she thinks that Artemis is dead when she arrives, but I was still surprised when WW threatened to make Deadshot into a eunich if he attacked. Gail Simone writes WW in her own book, is this how tough WW appears in that?

Naturally, Deadshot attacks anyway and gets taken out pretty quick. As always, the greater threat forced the Six to put aside their differences and team up. After Jeanette turns into a true banshee (while she does, she looks like classic Superman baddie the Silver Banshee) she successfully drops WW. It was surprising, but it worked into the story just fine since Artemis is of course, not dead, and the Six are able to get back into their employers good graces by turning WW over. It seems the villains have a pretty bad dude chained up in the basement; the devil himself. The DCU's devil looks a lot like Marvel's Jackal villain. It will be pretty fun if this is the real deal, but in any case, this guy looks like trouble.
I will admit I was disappointed when Scandal asks Bane to get back on the Venom so that he can bring his full power to bear. Poor Bane just can't catch a break.

Nicola Scott rocks this issue. Her Wonder Woman looks fantastic and the fight against the Six has some wonderfully unique perspective shots that really made the fight memorable. Scott's take on the new Banshee and Devil characters looks great too.

Good
