Batman Fights Catman, And We All Win

Don't get too cozy with the line-up of characters in Gail Simone's new ongoing Secret Six comic, about second-string supervillains who get caught up in shady deals. There will be death and mayhem, and nobody is safe, she warned in her panel at New York Comic-Con this past weekend. We'll finally get the Batman vs. Catman showdown we (well, I) have been waiting for.

Freed from working on corporate-owned characters, Simone cranks her inventiveness up to 11. What other comics might help get you through Hump Day? Glad you asked. More »

All this plus monkey assassins in a story that spans the globe and shakes Diana to her core!
