It's all but impossible to describe the action of Secret Six #2 without giving away the whole game, so I won't. Suffice it to say that Gail Simone has surpassed our expectations and surprised us once again. The story here has little resemblance to the previous Secret Six title. There is less overt comedy and little in the way of costumed action. This book is decidedly more creepy, being closer in execution to a modern horror comic than a superhero title and that is to its benefit.
The artwork itself is born of this same horrific aesthetic. The visuals here are dark and gritty, masterfully drawn by Ken Lashley with assistance on the inks by Drew Geraci. The color palette chosen by Jason Wright is chosen well, leaving everything looking muted and mysterious.
