Product Description:
Villains United is one of the four miniseries that lead up to DC's Infinite Crisis.Lex Luthor uses the events of Identity Crisis (as well as the threat of unstoppable force) to persuade nearly every super villain to join his "society," which is led by a core group of himself, Deathstroke, Talia, Black Adam, Dr. Psycho, and Calculator. But a band of relatively obscure villains--Cat Man, Scandal, Cheshire, Deadshot, Parademon, and Ragdoll--organized by a mysterious figure named Mockingbird and calling themselves the Secret Six, defy Luthor, leading to all-out war.It's action-packed and includes some fantastic full-page shots, and is fun for people who like to pick out people from criminal lineups.If you can't recognize everyone, the trade paperback has a guide to the characters as well as a summary of events leading up to the six-issue series (but not the 2006 one-shot issue published during the run of Infinite Crisis).Written by Gail Simone (Birds of Prey) with art by Dale Eaglesham and Val Semeiks. --David Horiuchi

What if villains team up to fight evil? I know it's been done before, but how many stories out there haven't been? Regardless, this series ended up being a surprisingly good read. I remember looking at the cover and browsing through the compilation and thinking...oh man this is going to be cheesy. But to my delight I really enjoyed the character development and the few twists the authors threw in. Basically, Lex Luthor creates a team of super villains to take on the super heroes of the world. ... Read More

When the one-shot "Countdown To Infinite Crisis" came out back in 2005, a couple months after the Identity Crisis (DC Comics) finale, it started a pattern that would continue on with a host of DC's biggest projects and events over the next year or so - taking big, immediate-appeal concepts that often hit across the DC Universe, and then often having these events spearheaded by characters who were certainly less-than-obvious picks. Countdown To Infinite Crisis officially ignited the post-Identity ... Read More

While I enjoyed the "Villains United" mini-series (featuring the debut of the "Secret Six" anti-heroes), I felt that the "Infinte Crisis"-mandated beats cut into some of the characterization and stopped the story short. Thankfully, Gail Simone returned in 2007 with Secret Six: Six Degrees of Devastation, a brutally funny and mature take on the super-villain squad that spins wildly out of control.

DC kicked in a major storyline, one that affects the DC universe afterwards. It started with Identity Crisis and the horror our heroes created. And then there is a lot of stuff leading up to Infinite Crisis--which includes this collection. What we have here is the villians getting together to form a society--some join willingly, some are forced, some are just killed. And against Luthor, Black Adam, Dr. Psycho, Calculator, Talia al Ghul, and Deathstroke, who lead this new society, are some villians/almost ... Read More

Action packed! Fun book, interesting characters. Tons of villians. This is the best of all the Infinite Crisis lead ins. If you were a fan of Gail Simone's Deadpool/Agent X stuff, you can't miss this. Villains United is just plain cool.
