Light week for me as well. Haven’t been as thrilled with _Secret Six_ as I was with its predecessor miniseries.

Rather “meh” this week: Trinity ('nuff said), Secret Six, and Maelstrom. Although I’d read a Supergirl series by the Maelstrom writer – even though he _did_ turn all the Apokaliptians into buffoons (jarring contrast to what Morrison is doing with them now, too).
