Panel Discussion - Scans from Secret Six, Final Crisis: Resist, and House of Mystery

Most Subtle Gore - Secret Six #3
As if living in a crate wasn't enough to make this guy creepy. It took me a moment to even realize what happened in the two top panels. A pretty effectively shocking murder without even showing much blood. To make matters worse, he doesn't even bother to hide the evidence-he just hobbles away with her girly umbrella. That's cold.

Best Ensemble Acting - Secret Six #3
Oh, he's trying so hard to be threatening here... complete with a subtle sideways glance to see if his intimidation is working. Followed by the lightning kicker that seems to have worked on the poor purple bug guy (any clue who he is?... anyone?). Cheetah, on the other hand, couldn't be more bored by the whole affair... even the Tesla coil effect on her hair doesn't seem to faze her.

Most "almost makes you want to be a Furry..." - Final Crisis: Resist

So in the course of a week, Cheetah has traveled from near-obscurity to one-of-my-favorite-DC-villains status! An impressive feat; but with Secret Six and Final Crisis: Resist in the same week, it's hard not to love her. Of particular note is her *ahem* cockiness in the last panel.

Most "Isn't that precious!" - House of Mystery #7
This little guy is almost as cute as the kitty in last week's panel discussion... oh wait-he isn't spewing blood... so that makes him much much cuter! You get em' little guy!

Best Writer's Revenge - Secret Six #3
Upset by the gruesome murder of Kyle Rayner's girlfriend, Gail Simone started a website called Women in Refrigerators almost 10 years ago. Well, now she's the one in charge, and she gets to say whose remains get stuffed into a small space! You go girl! For comparison, here's the original offending panel:
I'm thinking of starting my own website called "Flight Crews in Lockers." For too long, comicdom has been far too cruel to flight crews.
