Colin Smith meditates on the final trade paperback of Gail Simone’s Secret Six. “In Secret Six, the reader was perpetually compelled to feel compassion for the book’s fundamentally dysfunctional and irrevocably dangerous cast. No matter how much harm they were shown inflicting upon the world around them, we were still encouraged to note the fierce similarities as well as the appalling differences between them and us.”
