Secret Six #3 - DC


Ok this is a messed up book. But it's a good messed up. First we have the whole team being attacked individually. It appears that someone is trying to assassinate them, one at a time. Everyone except Blake, that is. Dollman is in the hospital, and Knockout looks like a burnt pop-tart. Scandal is shook up because she's in love with Knockout. Deadshot has remained pretty much unscathed. The Hatter is, well, he's the Hatter. And as I said, Blake has been completely left alone. Well, in this issue, we learn that Scandal is actually Vandal Savage's daughter. And he has plans for her, to make him an heir. Which is why, Blake has been left alone. That's who his genetic choice is. Scandal trys to refuse this, but in doing so initiates another attack against Knockout. By Dollman none the less. It appears that while he was in the hospital, Dr. Psycho planted a post hypnotic suggestion, which he activated. So, in order to save the woman she loves, she's going to have to go along with daddy's plans. So let's go back to the Secret House and let the seduction begin. Only one problem. The Doom Patrol. The site where they thought they were coming up on Lady Vic, was actually a trap by the Doom Patrol. ???? You got me. Don't know where this twist came from. As I've said in the last couple books that Gail Simone writes, she is quickly becoming a master of her craft. She's doing an excellent job with this book. It's only a 6 issue mini, but I can't see how'd they let it stop there. So next issue, it's the Secret Six vs the Doom Patrol.
