Secret Six (Volume 3) #28
Written by Gail Simone
Art by J. Caliafore
Diemos is defeated and everyone returns from Skartaris (well except for Lady Vic) and the Six may be working at least part-time for Amanda Waller now. It looked like King Shark was sticking around too but I am not sure. I loved the final scene with Giganta’s revenge on that rat bastard Dwarfstar…priceless!

Hmmm so an alien has landed in Skartaris and the new Warlord, Joshua/Tinder has to fight it and somehow his unborn sibling is healing him magically. Interesting stuff.

Grell is linking this all with 2012 theories and it is very interesting. Who is returning? And are these aliens talking about Skartaris or the outer Earth? I wish this series could continue longer as Skartaris is a beautiful place with a lot to offer in storytelling judging by some of the visuals in this issue.

You can tell that Grell wanted more issues to finish his story as this was kind of a rushed ending but I think it was a great way to end the book. He does not bring back Travis Morgan but instead has the new Warlord and the rest of the gang seal off Skartaris from Earth to stop an alien invasion. At least that is how I understood it. I loved the message to the general at the end telling the story of Skartaris. Who knows when we will see Skartaris again? But this was a great little ending to Grell’s epic.

The Warlord takes off to fight his newly reborn archenemy Deimos in this issue and we learn about what Warlord believes happened to his son. It is interesting. Grell’s art seemed a little off here I don’t know it was like rushed at some parts, otherwise I have nothing to complain about.

This story is pretty rushed for something of such immense importance. Really it seemed like panels were missing or something. I don’t really get what exactly happened with Tinder – but it is revealed that he is in fact Warlord’s son. Travis Morgan is killed in this issue and I assume Tinder aka Joshua will become the new Warlord.

The new Warlord faces a monster from outer space that has crashed in Skartaris. This was all set up but it was cool to see General Lane…or at least I think it was General Lane. All I know is that this book could really benefit by being more connected to the rest of the DCU.

I love that this issue features a guy with a video camera interviewing people about the life of Travis Morgan – The Warlord. It serves as a great plot device to update new readers like myself. The half-naked people and sex can be a little distracting at times, but oh well I suppose it is part of the appeal of the book and the world of Skartaris.

Art by Grell and Chard Hardin
I have to say that enjoy Hardin’s art much better then Grell’s. Grell’s art seems…well…old and seventies. Hardin’s style is just easier on the eyes. I am liking this arc a lot as we discover more about the Warlord’s past.
