Spoilers for SECRET SIX 5 under the cut, which is still recent and thus deserves a spoiler warning.
ROBIN 55: This is Brotherhood of the Fist, part three of five. I picked it up solely because I was paying fifty cents and it had Tim, Dick, Bruce, *and* Connor on the cover.
And then it has Slade inside. THE UNIVERSE LOVES ME AND WANTS ME TO BE OBSESSED. Even if it *is* in that stupid blue techy suit of stupid. Still. It's Slade discussing guns and honor with some ninja dude in some Oriental language -- and doing so fluently, which makes my soul happy -- and... yeah. Even though he's going after Eddie Fyers, and I'm almost positive Eddie isn't dead, so he won't succeed in this contract. Alas.
And *then* Ninja Dude is all "Eddie Fyers is reputed to be the greatest gunman on the planet. Are you a match for his skills?"
And Slade gives him this 'I *know* you didn't just go there' look and is all "Judge for yourself, old man," and is Mr. Awesome Shot. Yes, Slade, we know you are badass.
Tim and Connor teamup ftw! Especially with mild quake-related snark.
And Bruce and Babs snarking at each other in chess-related terms. And then Dinah's codename and Babs' codename and are we *sure* Bruce isn't a meta?
Discussions of class by themselves and disciplines with only one member. I am reminded of a couple chats I've had with Marcelo.
Oh, Shiva. Your particular terrifying brand of affection for Tim is showing. (Confidential to Sockich: I. Um. Might write Shiva/Tim now.)
Shiva is *made of win*. And darn it, I didn't see the fight between Slade and Eddie! Time to hunt down NIGHTWING 23, I guess.
SECRET SIX 5: This, of course, will be fantastic. Now to actually open the comic.
Oh, Scandal's *rage*, the focus on her eyes in this first page... excellent. I am wanting to flinch away from her fury and I'm making odd faces over not attacking *Knockout*. Scandal, why are you not furious with your girlfriend, just Blake?
Oooooh, Knockout. "Kill him if you must." I knew I liked you, I *knew* you wouldn't cheat on Scandal if you thought of it as cheating.
Oh, Scandal. Oh, *Scandal*. Don't go home! No no no no NO. *bites nails*
*turns page*

YES. I LOVE YOU, GAIL. Sneaky, sneaky lady, you are. And very, very good.
"Have I not teeth to bite with?" ♥
Knockout's hair scares me a little. It reminds me of eighties!Kory, only not as curly. I feel the need to hide from it, much like River and Book.
... You know, until this series, I never thought of the Mad Hatter as being very creepy. Just kinda dumb. Now he's creepy. Kudos, Gail.
Knockout RULES FROM ORBIT. So human, and yet so easy to tell where she's from.
... EWWWWWWWWWWW. NO NO NO NO NO. NO PSYCHO/SCANDAL, NO NO NO.
Oh, Scandal, *honey*, "The donor matters not." I. EEP. That one sentence and I know so much of her mood right now. That takes skill.
SCANDAL ALSO RULES FROM ORBIT. "Caveman." YES.
... Yipes. Cheshire. This complicates matters. Note to self: grab issue six the second you possibly can.
BEAST BOY 3: Wow, Gar on the cover looks demonic. Step away from the Nightwing!
Y'know, Access TV, I'd believe you more when you say you're on Gar's side if you weren't busily painting the picture of him as having lost his marbles. Can anybody tell me *why* Gar is being brought in on murder charges? This issue came out about six years ago, if that's any help.
DON'T CALL HIM GREEN JEANS, TV MAN, THAT'S CYBORG'S NICKNAME. *clings to the pure love of Cyborg and Beast Boy*
Ooooh, Gar has an evil twin! Cool. Am I the only one curious to know what Slade thinks of all this, since back in The New Teen Titans they were friends?
Okay, yes, I probably am. I'll go sit in my little corner and wave my Deathstroke fangirl flag now.
BETTE! Hi, Flamebird! Wow, would I have loved to see Dick in that getup. *amused*
Speaking of! Dick, didn't you ever learn to be polite to the pretty girl who just kicked the monster in the face?
Ahahahahaha. Haly's Circus bailed Gar out. ♥ Love the sunglasses, Dick.
"Quit?... Like *hell* I will."
Okay, now I want the Spoiler/Flamebird teamup. Past the ditz and the sparkle, Bette's got serious grit. I think they might get along.
And the evil twin is Madame Rouge. I am unsurprised. And I still want Steph/Bette.
