About the series
Gail Simone and John Ostrander led this 36-issue DC series, with art from J. Calafiore and Nicola Scott, following a rotating cast of morally ambiguous antiheroes—including Bane—as they navigate uneasy alliances and high-stakes missions. Running from 2008 to 2011, Secret Six carved out a distinct niche in DC’s landscape by exploring loyalty, violence, and redemption among characters who operate far from traditional heroism. Its sharp, character-driven storytelling and willingness to embrace its villains’ complexities made it a standout ensemble title of its era.
