Stealth, Mallah's very much alive and appears on the last page double spread (complete with bandaged ear).
Well, this goes against Cheshire's most recent portrayals in the last TITANS series, but this Cheshire is SOOOOOO deliciously evil. Still not keen on the danger Lian is in.

Cheshire appears to be very 'Cheshire' right here--what a evil, horrible villain! Despicable, but this makes her so much a better character.
The reveal about Deadshot and Catman: another thing I didn't see coming, and another great, very fitting twist!
But wow!!! Pariah and Lady Quark! DIRECT Lead in to Crisis? Does Luthor somehow remember now? Is he trying to do something involving Crisis (restore the multiverse? Use the Anti-Monitor? He must have some help, right...?)
So who is Mockingbird? Pariah makes mention of another Apex Predator on Earth, worse than Luthor, which most likely is him. It can't be a let down though, which basically eliminates the usual suspects, Ra's Al Ghul, Brainiac, Darkseid, etc. I'm a bit stumped now...

Jillikers! Totally forgot to mention the apparently-retconned-out death of LADY QUARK! YAY, she's back! Although I think she should have given Sinestro more a run for his money.
As for Pariah, the "weepy" comment made me giggle. I hope HE bites it in Infinite Crisis!

The 'weepy' comment totally reminded me of Lardy and his Hot Summer Nights execution of Pariah
I'm all for Lady Quark miracously being alive again! I once christened myself as the Lady Quark of LW for a time!

Hmmm- if Mockingbird is actually Cheshire, then she wouldn't be quite as eee-vil as she seems at this story's end. Which would be a neat twist, though I agree her despicability was delicious.
Hope #6 ends this mini with a bang.
What about Ragdoll!!!?? Gotta admire the commitment there, in a way.

Did people see the original Ragdoll in the group attacking the Secret Six?
I just hope that I am not disappointed when we do discover Mockingbird's identity. Hmm Ra's could be cool. That would make Talia a spy in the Society

Ok, last I saw Lady Quark was dead, but wasn't Shimmer from the Fearsome Five also a goner recently? And where's Gizmo? What, we can't have more than one evil midget in a comic or something? And the last time I saw Psimon he was getting his head blown off by Brainiac back in the Crisis. Heck, the last time I saw Mallah, he blew up in Doom Patrol when he revealed his love for the Brain! (Ewww) Oh well. I don't mind seeing any of them again!
Speaking of the Fearsome Five - isn't that Dr. Light's old team? Since all of the players of the first Crisis seem to be coming back for part two, I wonder if we'll see Psimon try any tricks in taking over this Society.
Cheshire's double-cross was a really unexpected twist. I was beginning to worry that the Six were starting to appear a bit too goody for being villains. Same with Deadshot. His revelation really brought out the fact that even though we might be rooting for them, they sure aren't the good guys.
My only problem with the series, though, is that there isn't enough focus on the six leaders of the Society. I'd really like to know what would motivate a quasi-hero like Black Adam to work with a mercenary like Deathstroke and a serial rapist like Dr. Psycho. In fact, as much as I like the Psycho appearances, just what the heck is he doing with this group? Each of the others seem more civilized and orderly, but this guy is a freakin', twisted sicko. And just who the heck is Talia anyway?
Great series. Can't wait for the last issue, though I have to think that things won't go well for some of these characters. I predict a slaughter of the Six in issue 6 with only Deadshot and Cheshire making it out alive.
BTW - Mockingbird looks like he has a bald head and sort of pointy ears that stick out. My first guess would be Universo, but obviously that just ain't it. Lessee, who else is bald and has funny ears. Could it be...

well, there was a confusion that Lady Quark were supposed to come back alive in the LEGION series a while back but was cut off abruptly by the crossovers with Zero Hour.
Also Harbinger is expected to come back somehow so according to Jeph Loeb or someone who mentioned "wait and you see, there is a reason Harbinger will play a role.......".
Monsier Mallah and the Brain were brought back alive due to unrevealed circumstances in issues of Young Justice around #50.

Still think Monkingbird is the Joker, he also is an evil genius and could pull this off. But Sivana is an interesting possibility.
Cheshire needs to pay a price here. I hope it's painful.

Thanks, Quislet. I think I knew that but not being a regular Batman reader, forgot it. So what's her story? Is she picking up right where her dad left off? She doesn't strike me as the really evil villainess type.

I think Talia is an example of a person who doesnt choose sides, but goes where the mood - or man - strikes her.
