Secret Six #15 - DC

Our nefarious group takes a side-bar this issue is this entire book is dedicated to Deadshot. It seems that Floyd is having a little problem with control recently. Not control in his shooting, but rather in controlling his urges. Basically, he wants to kill everyone. So, he's asked to meet with the Padre whom he got to know at Belle Reve. You know, back when he was in Suicide Squad. Anyways, he goes by Reverend Richard Craemer now. It seems that he's left Belle Reve. Or maybe he left Amanda. Anyways, Floyd is hoping that the Padre can give him a little insight. During their conversation we get a look at where Floyd came from, and what made him into the man he is today. I mean . . it's not very detailed, but . . it does give us some of the basic events leading up to him becoming Deadshot. By the way . . Deadshot has been around for quite a while. He was first introduced way back in Batman #59, 1950. Who knew? Anyways, the Padre works out that everything seems to rotate around Floyd losing everything . . his parents, his family, his brother . . and then a few months ago, Batman. It seems that Batman was the final straw, and now Floyd's convinced himself that he's the one that should be dead, not everyone else. I thought it was a nice little tale with my favorite member of the Secret Six. And overall . . I thought it was a great book. First of all we get a beautiful cover by LuVisi. Then John Ostrander joins the title with this issue. Besides Gail, he probably is the best authority on Floyd's character. He wrote this issue expertly. And finally, J Calafiore does the art. I've always liked his style. I especially liked his framing approach this issue. A new story-arc starts next issue, so . . if you're not reading this book . . first of all, you're crazy . . but this would be a good point to jump in. Don't worry. The water's warm. It won't hurt . . much!
