Secret Six #21, who wants to see the new team?
And the regulars follow Blake to South Africa where Black Alice has trouble controlling Dr. Occult's powers:
Estrogen + Entrigan = Estrogan! Get it? Get it? I chuckled.
Oh and Thomas Blake feeds the big white guy who kidnapped his son to lions, no biggie
And Great Ten #7, Seven Deadly Brothers is cool, he needs to fight Richard Dragon:
Basically the guy, Yang, was a Shoalin soldier who destroyed the town temple, but it was protected by 5 monks, one of which, Bak Mei, switched sides to work for the emperor. Yang wanted to be like him but was kicked out for being a pussy:
Yeah its really too bad Bruce has to try to be the big man and get untrapped in time.
Also Kinda neat how even though Dick is the one following in the "batman" path, They've acknowledged that Tim is defiantly the more detective / also following Bruce's path with his fight against Ras and Ras calling him "detective"

Pretty much the entire Bat family, including Dick, knows Tim is destined to be the next Batman when Bruce finally hangs it up. It's just not his time yet.
I picked up Secret Six #21 at random yesterday...anyone want to explain who the new team is and where they came from...even wikipedia is a step behind on this development.
Basically, most of the team went AWOL to track down Catman, and Bane was forced to call in a few freelancers to complete a job he'd already taken on.
I mean, other than Giganta (who I once had a very odd pubescent dream about)
who are these characters? Should I know them or no? Because they're not ringing any bells.
King Shark was a Superboy villain that later teamed up with the Dweller of the Depths and Kid Aquaman as kind of an anti-hero, before becoming evil again. He was last seen in Secret Six getting his arm torn off by.. Jeanette, I think.
Dwarfstar was a villain introduced in All-New Atom, and created by Gail Simone. He shrinks.
Lady Vic first popped up in Nightwing, and has been frequently used by Simone as an enemy of the Secret Six, both in the second mini-series as well as the ongoing. She's your basic badass assassin.
I've been lurking in the shadows. Like Batman with a law degree.
Actually, my laptop died, so I've been reduced to browsing the forums on my cell phone. It's a bitch to type meaningful, witty posts on a Droid phone with my giant gorilla-mitt hands.
That last page reveal. Holy shit. I read the issue 5 minutes ago and I'm still grinning.
Oberon Sexton is JOKER. What the hell.
ah, EF i totally shouldn't have read that before i went to the shop tonight.
damn
He was joking.

It is not a surprising reveal. Between everyone guessing who it was, and of course Morrison having to have at least one arc deal with the character, it really wasn't that large a stretch.

You should read Batman & Robin.
Scans_daily has the reveal.
I actually enjoyed Damien's conversation with his mother more than anything else in the issue. Poor bastard.

Because really, it could only be two people, and one of those people is returning in a miniseries that hasn't happened yet.
But it was still a well-handled reveal.

I'm collecting it in trade so I'm a few issues behind. I was hoping they'd reconcile at the end of Depths.
Although it has a few of Simone's pet characters so they might stick around longer.
Damien : Your "teen titans" riffraff are upstairs going through my fathers kitchen. DO something about it Drake
Oh wow, I'm buying that next week, (look at Bill on the last page)
"Really, grandfather? Ninjas? I'm insulted." Just love that smug little bastard. As far as I'm concerned, Damien needs to stay as Robin permanently.
Also I love every conversation Stephanie and Damien have had in the history of the world.

Bets on Katie getting to pick up Mjolnir?
Somebody inevitably will. Really though how cute do baby Bill and Thor look? Dawwww...
"Do you know a horse name Whitey?"

Yeah, I want this.
