Secret Six #10 (Ongoing)

is the name of three distinct, fictional comic book teams in the DC Comics universe, plus an alternate universe's fourth team. Each team has had six members, led by a mysterious figure named Mockingbird whom the characters assume to be one of the six themselves. The current ongoing series, nominated as volume 3 and started in November 2008, features Catman, Deadshot, Scandal, Ragdoll, Bane and an original character named Jeannette. One thing going for this series is the writer herself, Gail Simone, and the chemistry she has with her artists, such as Nicola Scott and Doug Hazelwood in the current issue. They can craft entertaining, oftentimes funny tales out of what would otherwise be a pedestrian plot around their characters, as in issue #10 which starts the book's second extended arc, "Depths."

Where have all the forgotten heroes and villains of the DCU been? The Six are blackmailed by someone claiming to be their old boss, Mockingbird, into a brand-new mission taking them into the heart of the metahuman slave trade! And former Wonder Woman Artemis returns in the most brutal Secret Six story yet! Find out why Wizard Magazine says, "If you're not reading this book, you should be." --
