Gail Simone

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.
