Secret Six #1

"Six Degrees of Devastation, Part One: Exposed" kicks off the Secret Six with a high-stakes rescue mission: a rogue operative is minutes from execution in a North Korean prison, and the team—shadowy, morally ambiguous, and tightly bound by secrets—must move fast to save him. Written by Gail Simone and illustrated by Brad Walker, with inks by Jimmy Palmiotti, colors by Paul Mounts, and letters by Travis Lanham, the series launches with a pulse-pounding premise that sets the tone for a DCU-spanning saga. The cover by Karl Kerschl captures the tension perfectly.
