Secret Six #1

Gail Simone reunites with the morally complicated world of the Secret Six in this 2016 DC Comics volume collecting the team's return, with cover art by Dale Eaglesham that frames the whole affair as a giant, snake-filled game of Snakes and Ladders — complete with a giant disembodied nose at the center and several mysterious figures peering in from the edges, asking "What is Secret?" It's a fittingly surreal and unsettling visual for a book about people who operate in the shadows, rendered with sharp, vivid detail by Eaglesham. With interior art by Ken Lashley, Friends in Low Places promises the kind of dark wit and unpredictable ensemble storytelling that makes this team so compelling.
