Rooting for villains is ludicrous
The Nashua Telegraph writes up a bunch of brief "recommendations" of several items old and new, and what's said about the new Secret Six has me feeling bothered:
But in the current DCU and editorial, this is what passes for entertainment.
“Secret Six: Unhinged” (DC Comics, $14.99): “Secret Six” 1-7. Supervillains on road trip are funny, violent, evil, sexy, human. Writer Simone has us rooting for sociopaths. Brilliant!Oh really? Never mind that the Secret Six as presented now doesn't even resemble the old take on the concept by E. Nelson Bridwell and Martin Pasko, I think there's some serious questions to be raised on if the audience should be rooting for a bunch of lethal sociopathic villains, or if said supercrooks should be depicted sexily, or even humanely.
But in the current DCU and editorial, this is what passes for entertainment.
