They’ve all been through a lot recently even before the events of this issue.
So how are they doing?

There’s not a whole lot you might do to shake that label.

We’ve seen Green Arrow being welcomed back with open arms into the Justice Society.

I’m happy that we finally have someone to really firmly stand in that niche at DC.
We have plenty of girl bosses.
We have Diana Prince and we have Lois Lane.

What about the girl failures?
Some would say unhealthy.
What’s it like for you as a writer getting to really own and steer this character?

I’m always asked, do I want to write other characters?
And I’m like, of course, but this is what I want to be doing now.
I do have such a deep connection with her, and I think she’s so freaking cool.
I do have a five year plan, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
And that is the true meaning of Secret Six!
Secret Six #1 is out now from DC.
We also talked with Nicole last yearabout Suicide Squad: Dream Team.
