Villains United

Villains United by Gail Simone and Dale Eaglesham.

Villains United was a miniseries leading up to the big DC event "Infinite Crisis". The book is also a precursor to Secret Six, as the main characters here are the main characters in the ongoing series "Secret Six".

There are many things I like about this book. It has a great cast of characters, it has humor and it has great art. However, I don't like that the story seems to be just build up for another story and not a stand alone book.

The story is that Luthor wants to create a society of villains. Six C-list villains refuse to be on the society and they form an alliance. From then on, the fun begins with adventures involving these six characters. Since they are villains, anything can happen.

I like this book, but I think DC fans that know about Infinite Crisis would like it more.
