When I first picked up this issue, I'm thinking, Ok all we're gonna get this issue is an explanation of who did what and why. I mean, first we go through Mandalay a poem by Rudyard Kipling. Zoe and Kev are standing over Danny's grave, and Zoe's reading it because it was Danny's favorite. Meanwhile, the tiger is standing over the only surviving member of the strike against them. Actually the ninja girl survived too, but Kev and Zoe chased her off after she killed Danny. So then, for about the next 6 pages, Kev is talking to the shite about this Rashid guy who was after them for having a copy of the tape. He really doesn't even have any reason for wanting to take them out other than that they're a loose end. Danny convinces him to take him to Rashid's house, more like a compound, near Tahoe, so they can talk and try to put an end to all this violence. What he doesn't know is that Kev loaded about a ton of C4 into the back of the truck he drove in. Which, while Kev is waiting outside the gate, takes out the house and most of the men. Whatever's left, Kev's happy to go in and clean up after. Including the Ninja. He then takes Rashid down to the beach and puts a bullet in him for every one of his blokes that got taken out because of this nonsense, 16 total. He then rides of into the sunset with Zoe. He says he wants to go, "where there ain't no ten commandments". Awesome book. But then with Garth Ennis writing it I expected nothing less. I think this is the third Kev mini? I may be wrong. But, they're all awesome. And I'm sure they're all available in TPB by now.
