My Week In Comics 12-29-10

Here's a situation where it's good that I procrastinate on the things I write about on a regular basis, such as movie reviews and these comic books: it allows me to avoid writing about the Eagles for a while. So, here's what I picked up during the final week of 2010:

Action Comics 896: Luthor calls in help to deal with the threat from Vandal Savage: the Secret Six, a group of mercenaries/villains, one of whom is Scandal, Vandal's daughter. Family drama! Plus she's a lesbian. Lesbian family drama! (This also means there's a crossover with the Secret Six comic book coming up.) And Robot Lois encounters Mister Mind, who was last seen in the beginning of this storyline, and both of them are apparently being used by others. Since issue 900 is coming up, I would think this whole thing is nearing an end point, especially since the DC comics blog touted the 900th issue as Superman against his greatest enemy. Wait...Superman will actually appear in Action Comics?

Gotham City Sirens 18: In light of the events that occurred in the last two issues, Talia al Ghul has decided that it's too dangerous to allow Catwoman to know that Bruce Wayne is Batman, and has persuaded Zatanna to use her magic to do a sort of mind-wipe. It's odd that Zatanna is willing to do this because she's done it before and things took a very bad turn as a result.
