"I prefer creative."





Excellent.  Her previous Secret Six is one of my favorite comic runs.  Gail Simone lets Catman loose in a fresh ‘Secret Six’ in DC’s New 52 | Hero Complex – movies, comics, pop culture – Los Angeles Times: "Now the secret can be revealed: Gail Simone is relaunching “Secret Six” in the New 52, and at its core is a mystery with an answer that she said all DC readers will want to know. The fan-favorite writer, who recently wrapped a well-regarded run on “Batgirl,” will introduce the new gang of rogues to root for in an ongoing series set to premiere Dec. 3, and she promises the same sort of “black humor and edginess” – and unpredictability – that won her previous run on the title a passionate following. “It’s so fun to write these characters that are really poor role models,” Simone told Hero Complex in a recent phone interview. Rather than “brightest heroes or the darkest villains,” the book lives in the gray area between, with “private detectives, mercenaries, bounty hunters, failed heroes,” she said...  the writer framed the story’s setup: It opens with six strangers trapped in a room and unsure how they arrived there. “They instantly do not like each other, and they instantly do not get along with each other,” Simone said."
