Villains United Special #1
Gail Simone, Dale Eaglesham
DC Comics
$6.75 ($4.99 US)
**** (out of five)

The last piece of the puzzle before the end of Infinite Crisis is a doozy.
While the ultra-hot limited series Villains United showed us the creation of the powerful Secret Society of Super-Villains, their plot to swell their ranks immensely comes to fruition in this highly anticipated special.
Meanwhile, the “heroes” of this book, the Secret Six (or five since Parademon croaked in the final issue of the limited series), decide to pick a side ahead of the climactic battle between good and evil — and what they choose may shock you!
This book is required reading before you pick up Infinite Crisis #7, but writer Gail Simone and Canadian artist Dale Eaglesham make sure its more than just plot exposition in a pricey package — this one’s got it all.
