Review Secret Six #5
‘Faces of Evil: Deadshot’
Writer Gail Simone
Penciler Nicola Scott
Inkers Doug Hazlewood & Rodney Ramos

Where were you the day that evil won?

From that very statement DC has decided to run a month long quasi-event through their main titles called ‘Faces of Evil‘ with each of the associated titles focusing on a villain that is key to that title’s hero.  One would imagine this would be a difficult task for a title such as ‘Secret Six‘, a title based on the adventures of six villains.  Gail Simone makes it look easy.  This is one of the most consistently well written series at DC and has yet to disappoint.  The art is crisp and consistent and the dialogue maintains an even flow of menace, mayhem, and humor.
