review 1: Every bit as enjoyable as the first volume, with the added benefit of a more interesting story. The headline story, Depths, is probably helped by at least a passing understanding of Amazons. Lucky me, I have that understanding. But even without that, watching each character have individual reactions to finding themselves in the role of defenders of slavery. It's interesting to see how prisons, and the treatment of prisoners in particular, is Bane's hot button issue. As well it should be. I'm glad that this settled the issue of the Bana-Mighdal (not that it matters anymore, sigh), and I liked the way Simone did it. And I'm especially glad that she got to be the one to write it.
review 2: After the brutal carnage of the first volume, the second seems almost tame
... moreby comparison. Battle lines are drawn as the team faces both love and prison duty. Summonded to a remote island, the Six are asked to be jailers and oversee the slave mine being run. The discovery of the Amazon warrior Artemis amongst the prisoners - as well as their horrific treatment - splits the team down the middle. Forced to battle Wonder Woman, each other, and the mythical Grendel, the Six proves that every family is a little dysfunctional. less

Lots of action and fun in this volume, but it is the character building that shines through.

I love SECRET SIX and "Depths" is maybe the best volume yet of @GailSimone's series.
