Gail and Grant Morrison are a couple of the writers at DC I still revere. I started my serious collecting with Villains United as one of the books. But Secret Six is practically the only book by her I collect.

#22 was a great end to Catman's arc and didn't pull any punches. Gail's twist ending was a nice surprise and also just 'fit' incredibly well with the spirit of this series. Blake was both semi-noble and semi-horrific (to me at least).
Also, Ragdoll really had a solid scene there standing up to Deadshot! Like a little brother standing up to his big brother (but with the Secret Six more menacing approach).
This arc was a pretty dark, rough arc on the characters and readers and yet, compared to so many other overly dark comics I read, I think it succeeded on every level. First, it fits the nature of the series and the characters. And second, Gail made it all very poignant and made it matter. Other writers should take note.

The Six set in the Old West! Shooting, killing, be killed-ing - and each on of the gang recognizable in character.
Part of me wants this to be a done in one tale, not related to the ongoing drama, but jsut a simple story about the crew.
