Suicide Squad is a government mercenary group with a rotating membership, they are basically doing jobs for Waller and they get something in return (shorter sentences and suff).Originally Posted by ohmshalone
Secret Six (the Simone version, there was a completely different SS in the 70's) are a band of supervillains, the group was formed before Infinite crisis in the Villains united title (that was basically the origin of the team) and as victorxd1999 said they are villains for hire and they have their own code of ethics (and when I say ethics I'm thinking about very loose morals).
I never read Suicide squad but the Taskforce X episode in JLU was awesome (which was basically a Suicide squad episode) and the new Assault on arkham animated feature was really entertaining (and bloody) too. They should rerelease the Ostrander run in chunky trades, I heard it is fenomenal.
On the other hand I've read all of Simone's Secret six and it is BRILLIANT! The whole team dynamic is just f@&ked up, Bane is hillarious and the Catman-Deadshot buddyvillain duo is my favourite team up of all time I think (Catman! Bloody Catman! and he is a badass!)
Oh, and King Shark of course:

Suicide Squad by Ostrander is amazing! As is Secret Six by Simone. Both are amazing and definitely worth the read

Just another case of someone being an idiot to pay such an insane price on a book. Originally Posted by Legion564

Are all copies of New 52 Batgirl Vol 3 supposed to be sealed? I just got it from Amazon and it wasn't sealed yet all the copies I see locally are sealed.

Not sure yet, but probably not. It follows the pattern of Dc's regular hc's perfectly, with a cheaper tpb coming 5 months after that Originally Posted by Thesanmich

Sadly no, it'll be like Night of The Owls, Death of the Family or the Trinity War collections. Originally Posted by Thesanmich

Did anyone pick up the recent Cinder & Ashe collection? I ordered it, haven't heard much bout it but there's one extremely negative review on Amazon that details how poorly it was reproduced and now I'm regretting the purchase.
Also put in an order for the Twilight reprint, hope that doesn't go the same way.
