The final collected edition of the fan-favourite series, The Darkest House collects the two-issue crossover with Doom Patrol, before collecting the final six issues of the series. The crossover sees the Secret Six and Keith Giffen’s incarnation of the Doom Patrol go head-to-head once again in an all-out epic brawl of humorous proportions before the trade wraps up with a final story, in which the Secret Six literally go to hell in an attempt to rescue Scandal’s love, Knockout.

Does Gail Simone manage to give the team the send off they deserve? Or did the New 52 prematurely end another one of DC’s best titles? Read on to find out.
