Comic Book Review: Outsiders #6

by Matt Sernaker, Managing Editor

Get ready for a game-changing issue as Outsiders goes meta! Like conceptually meta and meta-human meta. From writers Jackson Lanzing & Collin Kelly, Artist Robert Carey, Colorist Valentina Taddeo, and Letterer Tom Napolitano comes Outsiders #6 from DC (now available at your local comic store).

Official Synopsis:
WELCOME TO… THE PLACE BETWEEN PAGES?! Welcome, Outsiders. Welcome to a pleasant small town, sitting just outside the periphery of memory. Please, do make yourselves at home—there’s much to do, and all the time in the world to do it. Take a stroll past long forgotten faces, visit places that no longer are, and leave the worries of your endless existence behind. At long last, you have nothing to fear. Welcome to the Place Between Pages. Welcome outside.

Lucius Fox’s inspiration for starting the Outsiders is revealed, and this new story will take the team on their most interesting adventure yet: to the “Place Between Pages”. This meta look at the fabric of the DC Universe opens up more interesting questions and provides some powerful commentary on the nature of their world. But how and why did our heroes get brought to this location, and what does it mean for Drummer? 

Outsiders #6 is one of the most original single issues that we have read in a long time. The creative team demonstrates their love for the mainstream and obscure elements of the DC Universe, and the setup for the next issue has some massive implications. In addition to the incredible narrative, the art, coloring, and lettering was stellar throughout the entire issue, working in perfect harmony to make this title our pick of the week. We truly hope that the team continues to explore these aspects of the DC Universe, because it was genuinely impressive. 

Rating: ★★★★★
ComicsOnline gives Outsiders #6 – 5 meta adventures out of 5.

(Managing Editor/Director of Media Relations) Matt interviewed MacGyver once (true story), and was invited on a submarine to the Arctic. It hasn't happened yet, but Matt hopes that some day he will get the call and he and Richard Dean Anderson will go off and have a wacky adventure.
