When Tony Isabella, comic legend and creator of Black Lightning among others, suggested this team-up, I had to smack my head because I had never thought of it! Every incarnation of the Secret Six took orders from a mysterious figure known only as Mockingbird after all... It's a natural! I have been enjoying seeing Mockingbird in live action on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and with word of a spin-off, it looks like we will be seeing even more of her. Perhaps if the Suicide Squad film is a big hit, we will see the Secret Six hit the silver screen as well one of these days.
To paraphrase the immortal words of Bygrinstow: "THIS is genius!"
ReplyDeleteVery clever.
ReplyDeleteThe combination of these images is seamless. Looks PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteAnd to have it suggested by a great comics pro too--that's amazing!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea. I only wish it had been the original Secret Six. I'm a huge fan of Silver Age S6; not so much of any of the post-Crisis incarnations.
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys!
ReplyDeleteLet me add my own humble accolades. The only way you could possibly top this example of superb-ness is to have Spidey meet ABC's Cobweb!
ReplyDeletePerfect! and Morse Code from Mockingbird's alias... Bobbi Morse...nice touch!

...Oh, please — that guy is such a crackpot!
@ Bygrinstow:
ReplyDeleteTake credit where credit is due you, dude. ;-)
Haha, what a great combo. I'm sorry I sold my 60s-era Secret Six issues now...and the Action Comics Weekly series that attempted to solve the secret of "Who Is Mockingbird"?
ReplyDeleteAdapting the 60s series to even a limited-run TV series would be a great idea IMO.
@Ulf: you're more likely to see a WHAT IF...? animated version of the Silver Age GOTG (31st century setting and all).
