Secret Six

review 1: Gail Simone and John Ostrander here both do amazing jobs taking villains (mostly less-famous, obscure, even laughed-at ones) and making them both menacing and sympathetic, with dialog that sparkles and storyline that both tug at the drama and chill the blood. This installment focuses on Catman, who went under Simone's writing from a joke character in the DCU to a figure of nobility and savagery. But all the players here are done extremely well, abetted on art by J Calafiore and RB Silva. I could read this series all day, except its New 52-inspired demise makes me sad.
review 2: I still love the Secret Six, but in my opinion this was the weakest collection so far. The characters and dialog are still interesting--that's Gail Simone's strength in this title--but ... morethe plot wasn't very engaging. Also, it didn't seem to mesh well with Catman's background, at least as we've seen him before. That said, it's still a decent read, especially for fans of the series. And the crazy Elseworld's-esque tale that ends the book is worth the price of admission itself. less
