This is, quite simply, one of the best third acts in the history of third acts.
It’s not just a big Butch Cassidy shootout, it’s a series of rapid reveals, each cascading from the one before.
I can’t emphasize this enough: Villains United is the PERFECT miniseries. It should be used as a blueprint for how to tell a comic book story with humor, character development, a perfect plot, appropriate pacing…When Gail Simone gets it right, she gets it RIGHT.
