And we're back, with another nail-biting installment of Secret Six's latest arc!
I never thought I'd be unhappy to get in the head of a Grant Morrison creation, but with UDC's take on El Flamingo, I may have to re-evaulate a lot of things.
Please take a moment and let us know what you thought of this issue!

After some required catching up on past stories; this issue was good in its horrorific usage of Flamingo and the explored background of Copperhead, I cannot wait to see what’s installed for our rogueish team.

I have to say, Flamingo is one of my favourite Morrison-era villains, and UDC does a great job with him here. When Grant Morrison launched Batman & Robin, every arc did something different and new, both story and character-wise. I know we tried to do something similar around the same time in our Bat-family of books, with the likes of the the Prince of Lies and his lackey Milo Vesuvius; the horrific, Cronenbergian Flesh-Monger and the old fashioned crazy of Gum-Moll... unique spins on Nicholas Lucian, aka Brimstone, and the rarely seen Boss Synth.. that was more an attempt to capture that mid-90s, Dixon era villainous madness that was so good before the mainline Bat-books drowned in yearly crossovers. Good times! Wish they hadn't petered out! |

Good times! Wish they hadn't petered out! I miss the Dixon era Batfamily comics; I remember acquiring my dads collection of 90’s Robin and Detective Comics (Before the crossover burnout came in and started to smother the mainline stories. Although Underworld Unleashed and Panic in The Sky were pretty good, the upgrades to Killer Moth and other bat foes were good.) What issues were the Prince of Lies and Gum-Moll featured in? (I’m all for good horrific villains) |

Bloody typo! Gun-Moll! I meant Gun!
If you head over to the BATMAN collections page, they appear for the first time (if I remember rightly) in BREAKING THE BAT.
