Secret Six #10

First we continue from the preview...

So Bane's in the clear, good. Good.

So we continue to have the Scandal/Bane interaction skirt the line. Hurm.

Now this page I'm including for a few reasons.

1) Jeanette doing something cool.
2) Bane beating someone with their own arm.
3) We find out how Artemis is getting involved in this story.

I never thought of it that way before, but yes, that family dynamic, when you've got a team that's close, knows each other really well and cares about each other, and their interaction and the way they react to outside forces reflects that, it makes for very satisfying reading.

For instance, as much as I love Batman, I can grow weary of stories that are entirely about him alone facing off against a villain. For me, it's so much more entertaining (and perhaps realistic) to see him interacting with friends and family as well (and see them interacting with each other too) in addition to the villains. Which is why I wish there was a series like Gotham Knights again...but maybe Batman and Robin will be a start.

I'm still not sure enough about Batman & Robin to buy it yet, but some things I've seen posted here and flipping through Flex Mentallo (and remembering how great an artist Frank Quitely is when he's in his element) has made my feelings toward it a lot more gracious. I don't know if I will start following it, but that might have more to do with not having extra money burning a hole in my pocket.

Definitely motto on Gotham Knights, though. The plots were iffy sometimes, and there was at least one arc that treated Helena pretty badly, but it was always good to at least the immediate Batfamily from what I've read.

And the Black & White backups!
