I dug this. Pilot-style stories are always interesting and this one checked a lot of good boxes: introducing characters and dynamics, giving them each a chance to shine, and setting up an ominous threat for the future. Static immediate stands out as my favorite (in no small part because I'm currently going through the animated series on the DCU app) but Traci has made a strong impression too. Plus, as a fan of the animated Teen Titans, it's nice to see Jump City get some love.
This is a strong start here. Keep it up.

I really enjoyed this. There's something to be said for effective one-and-done shorta, which are fairly hard to pull off (or maybe that's just me), but that's what this one. There's a slow burn creepiness to the whole thing that really gets under your skin, and shifting the perspective away from John works well to emphasize the sense of dread of isolation.
Great stuff, Charlie. Looking forward to what comes next.

Another great issue, and one filled with a brilliantly horrible creeping sense of dread. We know Copperhead is going to come up against El Penitente in some form or another, but I didn't expect it to be in the first part of this new arc! Thanks, Charlie! This story was a long time coming (and not just because of the hiatus) - El Flamingo and the Penitente cartel, much like their fellow Morrison creation Professor Pyg, have a fantastic sense of menace to them. They're both utterly unmoored from reality and astoundingly terrifying at the same time. It's both disturbing and fun to dig into something like that. This wasn't the intention when I put together the story initially, but what ended up coming about was setting up Copperhead as a contrast to what I had just done with Mister Toad in the previous arc. Both of them have this disturbing adoptive family that informed how they became who they are, but while Toad embraced the darkness, Copperhead is trapped by it. Where she goes with that and what it'll do to her long term remains to be seen. Flamingo is the sort who seemed perfectly suited to this kind of story. I've got a lot of love for Grant Morrison's work (in case that wasn't obvious), but the dude has the attention span of a goldfish. He has a habit of coming up with these weird, off-the-wall, instantly memorable ideas, then moving on without going into any significant depth. Such is the case with the cannibalistic assassin who dresses in hot pink and rides a matching motorcycle. Flamingo will have more to do in the next issue, and hopefully I can live up to expectations. I like to think I've gotten better at writing this series as I've gone on, or at least figured out what it should and shouldn't be. For as much as it's enjoyable to fill in character backstories and motivations, the real meat of Secret Six is gathering together a collection of terrible people and (pardon my language) watching the shit show. Nadine is very much born of that impetus - someone who will get on the Six's nerves and test their patience, much for our entertainment. Thanks again, Charlie. And thanks to our anonymous donor for that gorgeous cover. -UDC

Like many of the current series on DC2 I was not really familiar with the characters featured in Secret Six. And yet again I am blown away. Thanks, Steve! That means a lot. These characters have become very near and dear to me (for better or for worse) and it's good to know that there are other readers who have affection for them as well. I'm not sure if I've heard that note before, but it makes a lot of sense. Visual media has likely been a much bigger influence on me than prose fiction (in the case of the Secret Six, it's crime dramas like Breaking Bad and Fargo and directors like Quentin Tarantino and Martin McDonagh), and I think that's become how my brain operates when translating images into words. Sweet! I look forward to reading it. -UDC

A fantastic conclusion to a stellar arc. I think this has been my favourite so far, but perhaps it's more a case of the book getting better issue by issue. Thanks, Charlie! I don't know if the series is getting better, but I think I'm getting more used to the rhythms and the character beats of each story. I'm not sure if this is my favorite arc in the series, but Rex's final line of dialogue may be my favorite thus far. That dude is just so damn theatrical. I always end up feeling so sorry for Sickle. Every time he goes on a mission he ends up getting the snot beat out of him. Maybe I'll go easy on him next time. Probably not. Cluemaster and Double Down have definitely had less page-time than their cohorts in recent issues. I have plans for both of them coming up, though. I ain't done with these fools by a damn sight! When I was first plotting this arc, I didn't have Pyg doing as much. He'd certainly be his usual disturbing self in the flashbacks, but he'd spend most of the breakout not cogent, delirious from his time in solitary, mostly useless. However, the decision to change that seemed head-smackingly obvious, not just because it made him less of a load and gave me the chance to tie up Veidt's plot thread, but because he's just so damn fun to write. I love sinking my teeth into characters who are that far into the extreme, and Grant Morrison really put together a gem of a character with Pyg. It's a blast to crank all of his creepy, disgusting behavior up to 11 and let him loose. Speaking of the professor, I wanna give a big thanks to Mr. Gonzales for letting us use his artwork for our cover (and to Charlie for finding it, of course). It's a downright bone-chilling portrait and gloriously detailed to boot. Stay tuned. Thanks for reading and commenting and thanks for your patience in editing the title. I'll get #10 done soon. -UDC

Again, I'm not a big Hellblazer reader so I'm not 100% familiar with the traditional lore of the title, but from what I understand this kind of vibe that that series is supposed to give off: that creepy, occult, paranoid sort of horror that was big in the "Satanic panic" era (e.g. The Exorcist, The Omen, Rosemary's Baby). It works wonders here: a secretive cult right beneath the nose of civilized society, mixing hedonism and demon worship, fanatically bringing forth untold horrors. It's all effectively unsettling and gripping stuff.
Between all of that stuff, there's still a sense of humor to the series, engaging character beats, and a distinct personality to the book that helps it feel real and grounded amidst the horror. Really strong stuff here. Keep it up.

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

I liked this. Action scenes are something that I have trouble writing so I appreciate seeing it done well, and this was definitely done well. Everything flowed together, everyone had a part to play, and there were plenty of character moments thrown in there for flavor. Good stuff.
Something else I appreciate is that this is a smaller sort of problem to deal with, but no less threatening. It's easy to get a sort of event fatigue/sequel creep when every crisis is an escalating, world-ending threat. It's nice to switch it up with something like a bank robbery instead of an alien invasion or an angry God or something. This is a smaller issue, but still one that needs to be dealt with.
Overall, good stuff. I'm looking forward to what comes next.

I'm a big fan of team books (in case my DC2 bibliography wasn't an indication) (also, don't dig into my older work. A lot of was written while I was in high school and isn't good), and a big part of that is character interaction - not just seeing a menagerie of powers, abilities, and talents being put to use, but also seeing how different personalities work together or conflict with one another. It's juicy drama. Young Justice absolutely nails this aspect. I appreciate the reintroduction of the cast and seeing the various degrees with which they view their mentorships, the team, and their teammates gives us a wide array of perspectives to play off of. I'm really looking forward to seeing how they perform in the field together.
Also nice to see the Terror Twins in action. I've got a soft spot for characters from the show (though I think we might've each given them different surnames?).
Great job, looking forward to what comes next.

This is what I'm talking about. I've always enjoyed a prison break, be it the titular TV show, or the ridiculous Christopher Lambert franchise, Fortress, I love seeing folks come together to get out of a place (yes, I know, my references are extremely specific, and there are much better prison break films out there, but c’mon, I’m a product of my millennial upbringing). The idea for this story came from prison stories like Oz or the previously mentioned Orange is the New Black. It just seems a fertile environment to tell stories in, one defined by constant danger, tribalism, and inertness. Plus I thought it would be a good place to explore Toad's character since it's somewhere both familiar and hostile. Thanks, man. Character is definitely at the forefront of any story with these folks because it's just so much fun to throw them into these kinds of hopeless situations and see how they handle it. As for the various plot threads, I'm trying to make this story feel continuous - episodic, yes, but still serialized enough that it all feels connected. I'm glad to see that's working and hope I can bring it to a satisfying conclusion. I'm going to go on a tangent about backstories here, so bear with me: About a week ago I saw Solo: A Star Wars Story, and while it was a fun diversion and all, it was a pretty empty movie, made more for fans to go "I understand that reference" than to build mythos or tell a groundbreaking story. I think a big reason why it wasn't terribly complex is that there's not a whole lot to Han Solo as a character. I'm not saying he's a bad character or poorly written, but he's very much an archetype. He arrives in Episode IV fully formed, has a character arc, and goes from there. A prequel about his backstory can't accomplish much because it'll just end up with a guy who's a selfish scoundrel at the start of A New Hope. Say what you will about the Episodes I-III, but at least the backstory of Darth Vader - a super-evil cyborg space wizard who brought down an entire religion/military unit - is big enough that there's a story worth telling somewhere in there. That's how I feel about the Six. These are characters in the extreme, yes, but that doesn't happen overnight. No one begins their life as a murderer or an assassin or anything like that, and the journey to that point feels to me like a story worth telling. Toad is an odd figure, yes, but there's that delectable contradiction of his scummy affectation and his legitimate loyalty towards the Circus of the Strange and Professor Pyg is particular. How he became someone so weird is something I wanted to get into, and since no one bothered to give him a backstory, I got to make up my own, which was pretty fun. That means a lot. New Outsiders has always been one of my favorites on this site. I didn't aim to put the spirit of that series into the Six, but I'm flattered to read the comparison all the same. I don't know if I can match the madness of Grant Morrison, but I'll give it my best. Thanks for reading and commenting! -UDC

Just finished "Sibling Rivalry..." Part One and Two, sorry for the delay! This was a great two-part story that packed a lot of twists and turns into a neat, careful package. The main plot was solid, with a great antagonist (David Cain is one scary sonofagun) and a good twist ending! Cain seemed a little on edge for such a pro at the end, but it was one heck of a crazy showdown. You balanced the members of the Secret Six very well, I liked how different Cluemaster's fighting style was from, say, Copperhead. Thanks, oblique! Action is something that I'm not as good at writing as, say, dialogue or exposition, so it's something I tend to overthink and try to use as an expression of character as much as a mode of conflict or a (hopefully) thrilling escapade. As for Cain, he was a lot of fun to write - the sort of wetworks professional that the Six (consciously or no) aspire to be. And yes, he seemed a little put out by journey's end, but in his defense, he had had a very long day. One of my favorite things to read and to write are characters whose outward appearances and mannerisms are a stark contrast to their inner selves. Timur falls into that category, acting as dumb muscle in his criminal career but actually being a lot more capable, intelligent, and emotionally complex than people give him credit for. Nash is on a similar trajectory, more trying to live up to a projected self-image than anything else. Their conflict felt like something that had to be confronted sooner than later, both as a means of making the team dynamic work better and as a way to remind them both (and the reader) of how dangerous it is living under the thumb of the Voice (which is a weird phrase to use, but whatever). I'm glad you liked what I came up with there! As for Hammer - yeah, there'll be some fireworks if he and his brother ever reunite. Stay tuned. I think that'll be fine. My plans for the Twins don't require them to stay in Gotham for too long, so if they took their show on the road, it wouldn't upset the balance. Plus it's not like Team Penguin is short of muscle at this point. Again, stay tuned. -UDC

I haven't read a lot of Hellblazer myself so I'm not as familiar with Constantine's supporting cast, so this was a good intro to them. Chas as the sort-of everyman/grounding element and Zed as someone on the same level as John but with one foot still in reality made for some fun characterization and interplay, and I look forward to seeing more of that in the future. Likewise, Nememiah makes for a good X-factor in the mix; I get the sense that there's more to her than what we or the blokes are seeing. The mystery is an interesting one, the bar fight is fun, and that cover really is an absolute treat to behold. Good stuff all around.

You’re welcome, It’s always great to meet a fan of the International team; speaking of which, what is one of your favorite characters so far in the Secret Six??? They all have their quirks that make them fun to write, but I think I'm enjoying Toad the most. I picked him for the team as a counterpart to Ragdoll from the original team (i.e. "the freak"), but in writing him, I found a good amount of Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad - both are characters who are unashamed, even proud, of who they are, even if who they are aren't exactly good people. Outside of the team, Penguin is always a treat to write. I love the contrast of his upper-class affectation and crass, violent real self. -UDC

The whole Bialya plot was excellent, brought back memories of my childhood reading Justice League Europe and International Thanks, man! I was also a big fan of the International team growing up. One of the first GN's I ever read was the first trade of Giffen's JLI and that's probably had more impact on how I write team stories and banter than I realize. -UDC

A great conclusion to a surprisingly tight arc. I feel like we could have spent a number of issues with the team in Bialya, with the tensions mounting across the board, but you delivered a punchy, concise little adventure with implications for the rest of the DC2. Thanks, Charlie! I'll be honest, I always thought I was better with two-issue arcs than three, so that's how I did this one (and that's probably how most of the stories here will be). I really do love writing these interactions. These people are so broken in tragic and hilarious ways. It's just so much fun to bring out the worst in them. They're complicated folks, which makes them really fun to play around with. I guess I'd better get working on it, then. -UDC

Mo, I'm really grateful that you returned to the site with a continuation of this book, and I have to say, nary a step has been missed. You have a great handle on the voices of these characters that, to be fair, have not been utilised to any real degree in the mainstream comics world. I’m a big fan of Mister Toad, and the depths of drama and familial tension you’ve delivered with the Abramovici Twins is top notch, and having read and edited the next issue, I know it only gets better. Thanks, Charlie! Part of the reason I love the Secret Six is because the idea of giving lesser-known characters their day in the spotlight is really appealing to me. I'm the sort that falls in love with the supporting cast more than the leads, so this is my chance to turn the supporting cast into the leads. That, plus the fact that there's not a whole lot to these characters means I can more or less make up their backstories whole cloth, which is fun and creatively freeing. Thinking about it, a lot of how I write links back to writing like a TV show (for better or worse): Structuring story arcs like a season, setting up individual issues with multiple plotlines to create flow, using dialogue is a primary tool of story and character progression, etc. I think I've mentioned this before, but a lot of how Secret Six is structured comes from Orange is the New Black; while I have my problems with the show (seriously with that fourth season? Seriously?!), I love the way it uses flashbacks to inform these offbeat characters and how they ended up where they ended up. That's kind of how I've been plotting out the arcs, with this first one focusing on Sickle and future stories highlighting the rest of our motley crew. As far as that cliffhanger goes, I love the idea of seeing these people who no one ever really took seriously going up against someone legit scary and dangerous. Next issue's gonna be fun, I promise you. Perhaps, but maybe I should focus on making this one more regular before jumping on another, yeah? What he said. -UDC

Well that ended pretty much how I expected it to, which isn't to say it was bad. Quite the contrary; this was a tense, exciting story with action and conflict resolution driven by characterization and character relationships, which is something different and welcome. Also, I kind of want to see a prequel series about Luthor and Brainiac as two gay dads raising an evil daughter together. That sounds adorable!
This series was a pleasure to read and you did an excellent job with it. Great work.

One of the things that occurred to me that I like about these series is that there's a lived-in quality to the world that I appreciate. The Nuclear Woman and Reactron showing up and not requiring a big to-do about their origins adds some nice texture to the tale. I'm also a fan of the adaptational mash-up here; a Silver Age Mxy, a Nuclear person from Movie IV, Toyman from the Animated Series, and Winn Schott from the TV version. It lends a certain mesh to the story that's fun for a fan like me.
As for the story itself, it makes a nice companion to issue 2; a more lighthearted adventure that contrasts nicely to the larger-than-life events of the previous story. Mxy almost feels superfluous here, but he's a fun addition and his presence is appreciated. It's still a personal story, though, and it works with Kara's (and hopefully Lena's) arc here. Plus that cliffhanger has me worried.
Good story, great cover, looking forward to the next one.

Sorry it took me so long to read this. Real life (and my limited attention span) got in the way.
Anyway, this was a strong story; a bit on the long side, but epic enough to warrant it. I never read the early Action Comics stories with Kru-El, so this served as a perfect set-up and payoff to his character. I really like seeing the layers of Lena explored; someone trying to escape her father's reputation who nonetheless finds herself dragged into it. It's interesting stuff and I'm looking forward to seeing it play out. Nice, big, fun story here. Keep it up.

Cool story. I like the idea of stripping Ra's of all his regality and eloquence and just turning him into a monster; it's something I like seeing in villains. I also dug the ending; something that bugs the crap out of me in Batman stories is the idea that he's entirely on his own, that "the mission" is his burden to bear alone. Him being with his unconventional family not only creates drama and character interactions, but does a lot of good in humanizing Bruce. Same goes for Damian; the bit at the end was a nice touch (though it does rob Talia of some agency, but that's a discussion for another day).
If there's any complaint, it's that the ending with the youth potion feels like a deus ex machina. I know Ra's was going to lose no matter what, but this feels like a weird way to give him a second chance. Similarly, the idea of Ra's being a walking isotope doesn't seem like it amounted to much beyond a way to off the rest of the LoA (unless we find out Bruce has cancer now or something).
Still, there's a lot of strong ideas, good emotion and character stuff, and solid action scenes. Nicely done.

So, I have the pleasure of editing this title (probably quite badly, I have to admit) and it’s great to see a new issue out. It’s been a few months, but I like this book, it’s not high concept but it’s high quality, and I think that’s really good. Taking characters from across media platforms, cartoons, comics an video games, and driving them together in a cohesive manner is a rare commodity these days, and UltimateDC acquits himself really well. Thanks, Charlie! And thank you (and our other readers) for their patience with this series. My writing's been delayed the past few months by a mix of distraction, writer's block, and some real life stuff (nothing bad, just time and energy consuming) and I appreciate you sticking with it. This issue is my attempt at writing a Brian Michael Bendis story. My favorite issues of his Avengers run were the stories in between arcs, where after saving the world from some big disaster, the team would sit around a table eating lunch and say, "That was crazy, wasn't it?" I like those stories because it gives the heroes room to breathe, a chance to see what they're like in their off time, to humanize them. I hope I succeeded in doing the same for the Six. As for the Harjavti storyline, it's one that's been in my head for a while and it feels good to finally get it onto the page. Charlie's Justice League arc featuring him and the Bialyans has provided an excellent map for how to work this character and the arc that features him, so thanks for that. Exciting things are indeed coming! I'm looking forward to putting them together and showing them off to ya. Thanks again for reading and commenting, and for editing this series. I really do appreciate it. -UDC

I liked this. I'm always down for a good Suicide Squad story, and this did not disappoint. If anything, I would've liked more, but the action was solid, there were strong character beats, and that's a hell of a cliffhanger ending to leave me wanting more. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.
If there's anything I'd change, it's to just take an editor to this; add a few missing words, clean up some sentences, etc. Overall, though, this was a good read and I hope you keep it up!

This issue features a fight scene that was both dynamic and easy to follow. I've never spent much time thinking about the writing of characters-in-battle, but I found myself being really impressed in what was done here. A lot of my fights are ENERGY BLASTS and SUPER PUNCH but this was choreographed, there was a rhythm to it, and I found myself excited to see what was happening. In fact, the entire issue was one long fight scene, but it felt well segmented, exciting, and just... good. Really good. I remember making a note of "Mr Toad is the breakout character of this book" when I was editing the book, and everything just worked. I'm rambling but it was an issue I recommend, and I think it's going to go down well with the readers! Good work, mate. Thanks! I'm way more comfortable writing character and dialogue than I am with fight scenes, so this issue was something of a challenge to me. I'm glad with how it turned out, though. My goal was to show the Six as capable despite appearances, but still rough around the edges - overconfident and not entirely together as a team. And yes, Toad is turning out to be a blast to write. He's the rare character who is completely unashamed about who he is and what he does. Also, I've gotta give big ups to Filchum for that AMAZING cover. Perfectly captures the vibe of the book and the character designs are spot-on. Great work. -UDC

First of all, that cover is glorious. Well done, Mr. Howard.
I liked this. Great start to what I'm sure will be a strong story. Kara feeling the burden of her legacy is some juicy meat for a story and you really dig into it. Plus it makes a nice parallel with Lena and her own fatherly issues. I'm also glad Kara has a support staff with Lena and Karen and a fresh start in Ivy Town. I don't know where this is going but I'm eager to find out.
And then there's the action, which is appropriately big and exciting and well written. Brainiac makes for a good bad guy to handle and the fight with Amazo was...interesting. I'll be honest, Kara using her voice to reprogram electronics feels like a Golden Age thing, where Superman got a new power every week, but I suppose that's one of those things I'm gonna have to roll with. Still, this was overall a pretty strong issue; engaging, entertaining, and most of all, human, which I think was the point of this. Nice work. Looking forward to the next.
