Secret Six #2
Secret Six #2 is your basic longtime staple of comics in which the "heroes" have a run-in and fight and then decide to work together. With the previous issue dropping Jon Kent, Gossamer, and Dreamer at the House of Secrets in a cliffhanger ending, issue #2 is really just about pitting that trio against Black Alice, Deadshot, and Catman. During the various fights we learn that both Deadshot and Dreamer want to find the missing Amanda Waller (who may be with Checkmate now?), but for vastly different reasons.
Giving Catman the chance to kick some ass buys the comic a little more time to sell me on the altered costume (which I'm still on the fence about, but will admit it offers some interesting closeups with the new feel of the collared-cape and cowl). There's enough here for me to stick around for another issue, although I'm still not sure on how these pieces are meant to eventually fit together.
