Secret Six #4
Secret Six #4 picks up with our rag-tag group being taken down by Jeannette. Following the advice of Dreamer, Jon Kent gets himself and Catman out allowing the rest of the issue to focus on this unlikely pairing. Thomas Blake hanging out with Superman's kid is certainly not something I would have expected from this, or really any DC comic. The pairing does help flesh out the story by helping Jon get a better understanding in general of how the Secret Six work, and more importantly Blake's relationship with Deadshot.
The comic also includes a flashback to Catman (at that time still wearing the best costume of the character's career) when he and Deadshot were just working as a duo. This story helps illustrate what Deadshot owes Blake and why Catman is sticking around to help Jon, not out of any loyalty to anyone captured by Checkmate but simply to see Deadshot kill Amanda Waller.
