Secret Six #29

The full roster of DC's most dangerous mercenary team stands united beneath the team's looming skull-and-six emblem on this 2011 cover by Daniel LuVisi — Bane, Deadshot, Black Alice, King Shark's replacement, a jester-costumed figure, and a masked female operative, all radiating the kind of cold menace that makes the Secret Six so compelling. Gail Simone's run on this series has consistently delivered morally complex antiheroes in impossible situations, and with a story titled "What Luthor Has Wrought," the stakes here clearly reach Lex-level dangerous. It's a striking ensemble portrait that captures exactly why this team occupies such a unique corner of the DC universe.
