Villians United No. 1

I was jazzed to get a hold of Villains United because writer Gail Simone said Cat-Man is a central character.
I rushed out after work and snagged a copy.
Overall, I liked it.
I was of course pleased with Cat-Man's role. (Though it is "Cat-Man" with a hyphen! Not "Catman.")
I was also glad to see that he's continuing his connection with Green Arrow. Last we saw him, Thomas "Cat-Man" Blake was working undercover for The Shade. He had attended Oliver Queen's funeral. When Ollie got better, Ollie hunted Cat down and the two "chatted." (Shortly after that, Cat-Man was apparently fed to Monsieur Mallah. I'm very interested to see how that turned out.)
I really liked the art. I love crisp art like that.
I wish all the villains that were presented were clearly named. I hate it when they expect us to know everyone by their appearance. (Even worse, we were expected to know people by just what their face!)
I'm curious to see if Cat-Man ends up in a new costume. I'm also interested to see if he gets his "magic" cape back. His "magic" cape is kind of a crutch for him, and one of the reasons I like him so much.
I do have questions though:
  • I thought Parademons were a military force on Apokolips, not a individual character. Which is right?
  • Who's this Ragdoll fellow?
  • Anyone have a clue on this "Static" person who was ordering around the "Secret Six?" I suppose its the person they called Mockingbird, but who is Mockingbird? (I suspect it's Luthor, why else would he leave Cat-Man alone?)
  • Where's the Joker? No villain team-up is complete without the Joker.
