Secret Six #9

In "A Debt of Significant Blood," the Secret Six descend into Gotham City with a mission that blurs the line between legacy and ambition—two of their own believe they’re next in line to wear the cowl, while Ragdoll, driven by a singular purpose, sets out to become the new Boy Wonder. Written by Gail Simone and illustrated with sharp, expressive detail by Nicola Scott—whose dynamic cover pencils and inks capture the issue’s intensity—this 2009 DC story explores what it means to inherit a myth, one that may not be theirs to claim.
