As far as I know, it still Amanda Waller as Mockingbird sending the Secret Six on missions. This time, to stop the other Secret Six from annexing Skartaris in the name of the United States.
This makes perfect sense to me, as conquering a territory that can only be reached through a dimensional portal located wherever that portal is at doesn't seem feasible. Communication would be a pain, and Skartaris would need representation, which means you've got to find a scantily clad barbarian type who is willing to travel to Washington D.C., and possibly even wear a suit or dress while doing so. There's the vast amount of new species that will have to be catalouged and likely protected, since they aren't found anywhere else, versus the desire to exploit its resources. There would be squabbles over whether to use Skartaris as the dumping ground for nuclear waste, or prison convicts. Hey they already tried sending them offworld, why not inside the Earth? That's going to tie up the legislature. It's more trouble than it's worth.
I'm curious why Waller is sending one team to stop this from happening, while Spy Smasher sent another bunch to make it happen. Interdepartmental rivalry? Spy Smasher could be off her gourd, acting without authorization. She strikes me as a "Whatever I deem necessary" type. Like DC's version of Henry Gyrich. Waller would seem to be the one with official backing, since the bunch she's sent is being offered full pardon, but it's possible Spy Smasher has similar backing, but from different officials.
