About Heroes

While most people that are reading DC now are excited about the upcoming 52 and One Year Later titles...there is a book I am really hyped out about. Now, DC already stated that their 52 title will be $2.50, but as of May all their titles will be bumped up to $2.99. This of course gives me more of a reason to quit buying monthly DC books and just get some trades. But I will damned if I miss my monthly dosage of this book! Gail Simone got to play with a group of villains last year in Villains United (my favorite Countdown tie-in) now she gets another chance to mess with these villains. That's right, I am talking about the Secret Six six issue mini-series. So far returning characters include Ragdoll, Catman, Scandal and Deadshot, but in this interview she speaks about two new characters joining the ranks. If this is anything like Villains United, DC can gladly take my hard earned cash!

Another reason that I am excited to hear about this book, is there might be a chance of a reprint of the 1960's Secret Six title. I remember being 10 years old and going to a yard sale with my mom, now at the time I was heavy into Marvel, but when I ran into a box of 100 random comics for 5 bucks, I just couldn't pass up. I'm sure the original book was no inspiration for this new incarnation other than its name, mainly because it was more of a spy covert missions book. Never the less, I wants my damn Showcase Presents: Secret Six!
