  • 6.3 Secret Six - Whitewater

    Before the Secret Six got their own ongoing series, author Gail Simone kept the flame alive by inserting them into her final arc on Birds of Prey. The Six get a new member, a new love interest, and naturally, things go sideways FAST. This arc is not only a lot of fun, but has major, lasting changes on the Six - so join host Ben as he breaks down Birds of Prey 104-109.

  • 6.1 - Secret Six: Villains United

    The Secret Six is my favorite personal series from DC Comics - but before they got their own book, the Six were gathered here. Join host Ben as he breaks down the plot of a secret cabal of super-villains to overthrow the world - and how they get stumped by six in-fighting, murderous, selfish, emotionally stunted losers.

  • 5 Deadly Class vol. 1

    In 2014, author Rick Remender launched a comic book based upon his own youth in the 1980s combined with some comic-book-flare. That book was Deadly Class, a series about a school for assassins, and it was so well received that it became a show on the SyFy Channel in early 2019. But out of all of Remender's work - it's the book I like the least. Join me as I breakdown Deadly Class volume one as I try to figure out why.
