Secret Six by Gail Simone Omnibus Vol. 1 collects one of DC's most beloved cult runs — a book about villains that has more heart than most hero comics. Born from Villains United, the Six are a rotating band of C- and D-list rogues who take the jobs no one else will and, against the odds, become a family: Catman, Deadshot, Ragdoll, Scandal Savage, Bane and more. Gail Simone balances brutal action, dark comedy and real emotional stakes, and the run is famous for turning Catman from a punchline into a genuine badass. Art by Dale Eaglesham, Nicola Scott and Jim Calafiore.

Gail Simone’s Birds of Prey works because the team feels dangerous, funny and human before it ever feels tidy. Oracle, Black Canary, Huntress and their allies move through espionage, bruising fights and impossible loyalties with a voice that made the book one of DC’s most beloved team runs. Vol. 2 keeps that chemistry alive and raises the cost of trusting each other.

DC New 52 Villains Omnibus gathers one of DC's most unusual publishing events: Villains Month 2013, when every ongoing series was replaced by a one-shot starring a villain. Orbiting the Forever Evil storyline — in which the Crime Syndicate conquers the DC Universe — each issue delivers a secret, origin or fate for a major antagonist, from the Joker and Darkseid down through the whole line. An anthology by Geoff Johns, Gail Simone, Charles Soule, Jeff Lemire and many more, with art including Jim Lee. A complete, one-book record of the event.

The complete Batgirl Returns run collects Barbara Gordon's return to the cape and cowl in Gail Simone's defining series. After years as Oracle — the information broker and strategist who defined her post-injury career — Barbara Gordon reclaims the Batgirl identity in a run that addresses trauma, recovery, and identity with genuine emotional intelligence. Ardian Syaf provides dynamic, expressive art. Simone writes Barbara as the most complete character in the Batman family — smart, brave, complicated, and genuinely funny.

Gail Simone turns Birds of Prey into a team book with bite: sharp dialogue, espionage tension, damaged trust and women who refuse to be reduced to support roles. Oracle, Black Canary and Huntress give the series its pulse, moving between covert missions and emotional fallout with a chemistry that still feels fresh.
