Sorry for taking so long to post feedback to this one! As the editor, I let UDC know how I feel quite early on, so it slipped my mind to share my thoughts publicly. C’est la vie!
I really enjoy this gem of a book, and this chapter is part and parcel of why. We’re seeing characters grow and develop before us, and then they’re thrown into the worst kind of situations, which I think is delicious. The situation in Blackgate is bad, but with the addition of the girls into the mix, it’s about to get a lot worse.
Having just edited the next issue, I know that to be true.
I really do like the way the book focuses on a different member of the Six each arc, and I think you’ve done a massive service to Mister Toad in this book. He was just a gimmick in his original Batman & Robin appearance and while I enjoyed what I saw of him in Beware the Batman!, I never saw him as being able to sustain my interest in any kind of title, but colour me corrected.
Next issue is out... very soon!

Sorry for taking so long to post feedback to this one! As the editor, I let UDC know how I feel quite early on, so it slipped my mind to share my thoughts publicly. C’est la vie! It's all good. Things've been a bit crazy on my end as well, hence the delays in the last couple issues. Kelly Sue Deconnick once said that one of the best ways to come up with a story is to find a situation that targets your characters specific weaknesses and insecurities (e.g. a Captain Marvel story where she has to deal with a problem she can't solve by punching, like getting a brain tumor). That's part of the impetus for this story: the Six thrown in a situation where everyone around them is a potential enemy and they're cut off from almost all support. It's dire, it's dangerous, and it's exactly the kind of story they belong in. Issue 9 is honestly some of the most fun I've had writing the series. It's a crazy one. That's what I loved about the original Secret Six: it took C and D-List characters like Catman, Ragdoll, or Cheshire and made them into more complex, more compelling characters. I'm hoping I can continue that trend and making more out of these knuckleheads. Thanks so much for reading and commenting! I also wanna give a shout-out to Joey Jarin, who absolutely crushed it with that cover. It's so creepy and ominous. I love it. -UDC |
