Gail Simone continues to impress. If you remember from last month, this is picking up from a killer cliffhanger. Catman's just gotten a call from his son's kidnappers saying they're going to kill the boy, but they'll give him an extra year of life for each of Catman's teammates that he kills in the next five minutes.
The way this was handled was just perfect. The rest of the team doesn't hear the man on the phone, so they have no idea what's going on. But they see Catman's reaction, and they know something is seriously wrong from the way he's looking at them. And this is a team full of really scary people, all of whom either out-power or out-gun Catman, but they are all clearly a bit scared by the way he's looking at them.
But in the end, he doesn't kill any of them. Instead, he tells the guy on the phone to go ahead and kill his son. But he will track them down, and he will kill them.
And then he goes off to start.
Another great issue, and I'm looking forward to the next one again.
