I have always liked reading the Secret Six, but sadly I really did not like this issue, in my mind the Battle for the Cowl issue would have been better than this filler, as that pretty much is what this issue is. The double date that happens was pretty lame IMO, sure there was a bunch of humor in this issue but most of it came from someone who isn't even part of the Six. But the humor isn't why I read this comic, sure it's a nice addition but not the focal point. The only nice thing about this issue was Ragdoll's "Dream" which I admit was very funny.

Also the lack of Catman and Bane from this issue was also displeasing as they are my favorite characters in the Six. 2.5/5

Just when you thought things couldn't get any more Insane in this storyline, Geoff Jones yet again weaves this story in a way that I was never expecting it to go. I have to say I did enjoy the story, things may not be looking so good for the marvel family as of right now, don't want to spoil anything in this review but I will say this, I was sad with the final outcome of Black Adam, really love the character but he has used up his use for now I think so a break would be nice. And who is this shadowy newcomer at the finale?

On another point, with the way the JLA is right now, it's nice to see the JSA larger than ever. Love the characters in the group, great storytelling by Geoff Jones.

Well this issue brings the Get Out of Hell Free Card storyline to a close with a giant battle on a bridge in Gotham City between The Secret Six and all the C and D list Villains that have been chasing them, its all rather chaotic.

The best part of this issue is when Bane sees Scandal Savage in mortal danger and regrettably takes some Venom, It was rather amusing seeing him Jump through the roof of a Limo and break Komodo's fingers mid flight, he then proceeded to do his signature "Your Back my Knee" while shouting out " Did you forget who I am? I Broke The Bat! And I will Break Him a Thousand Times!!" It was cool to see what bane sees when he's juiced up, as everyone in a Batsuit modified for the apporpriate figure. Scandal comments that while He may have Broken the Bat, Batman somehow broke him.

The Birds of Prey showing up for like 2 pages I felt was unneccessary.
 
The ending of the issue is a little rushed i felt, don't want to spoil much, but it is a little amusing, as the Mad Hatter does make an appearance, if not for being a bumbling scizophrenic the character could have potential, but then again he did design the helmets for Final Crisis.

Overall not  a bad issue, fight was good, ending could have been a little better, wasnt bad, but not exactly what I expected.

i really enjoyed the first issue of Joker's Asylum, the concept of what Joker does on the game show and the repercussions it causes make you really sit dwon and ask "who's the villain in this situation," As lets face it, all he really does is hijack the game show and cause a little mayhem, but no one is hurt in the process, evil yes, but not as evil as the reactions to his appearance.  My only complaint about this first issue is the artwork,  Alex Sanchez may not have been the best artist for this kinda story.
