Secret Six #27

The cover has Bane riding a miniature Tyrannosaurus Rex, do I really need to give you a reason to pick this issue up? Okay, how 'bout Catman as the new Warlord riding a giant freakin' cat through the armies led by his former teammates? In three words: Oh Hell Yeah!

The story itself is a little messy. Bane's recovery and Scandal Savage's guilt take up quite a few pages, as does the dance between Amanda Waller and Spy Smasher (which ends satisfactorily with Waller turning the tables). It's also unclear what changes the minds of Catman's squad from seemingly abandoning their mission to going right to the palace and joining the army.

By the end of issue #27 we're still left with two separate squads and only one issue left to conclude this fun, but bizarre, story arc. It's not the best issue of Secret Six, but it's a hellova lot of fun. And, did I mention it has Catman riding a giant freakin' cat and mauling an entire army. Yeah, that's pretty cool.
