I think Al is right, they are going to Skartaris.
I read the Ostrander issue tonight and thought it was a solid done in one. A little rushed, but like Lash said, it was nice to get a solid story in issue. It was definitely a Suicide Squad-esque story.

I read that one last week and was a little disappointed. The moral of the story is the Secret Six are bad-ass and you don't want to fuck with them! No twists or anything, just pure-out S6 domination of the badguys after initially being caught unawares.
If Johnny O. does more one-offs in the future, I hope he'll stick with Deadshot-centric stories like he did last time. I'm sure given more room he could spin a yarn as good as Gail, but as a fill-in, I'd like a more character-focused story. Maybe something with Amanda Waller or Father Cramer guest starring, perhaps?

Father Cramer would be awesome to see. When was his last appearance? The Spectre in the 90's?

Seems like Geoff Johns may have used him at some point in JSA, but I can't swear on that. Definitely one of Johnny O.'s signature characters who I'd like to see turn up again.

No, I also zoned out for a second and have no idea what's going on. I don't think that's good for a comic like this--it needs to be accessible!
(I still love the series, but c'mon, what new reader would pick up this storyline and stick around?)

Not really worried about new readers at this point in time. The book has a pretty stable fanbase. True, you need it to constantly grow to replace fans that leave, but its doing fine right now, so I can let a skip/break slide.
It actually reminds me of the old Wild Wild West tv show where you were always brought in in the middle with a minimum of exposition delivered in the middle of the storyline. I like it.

Um, Father Creamer was in the Ostrander issue of Secret Six last year that dealt with Deadshot starting to lose it (just after the Battle for the Cowl stuff).
And, the two Six teams are in Skataris because Mockingbird/Waller sent her team (Deadshot, Scandal, etc) to stop Spy Smasher's team (Jeanette, Bane, etc) from annexing it as part of the US (for still somewhat murky reasons).

Ditto. This is probably the first Secret Six storyline I haven't loved.
