Image Comics, 2019
This collection brings together two story lines from earlier volumes. Gang-banger Timo and transgender assassin Ezerae (from Vol. 2) have continued to take vengeance on the mob that killed their mentor. They are relentless and almost preternaturally skilled (of course having strength and rapid healing from The Beauty helps with this). Detectives Foster and Vaughn from The Beauty Task Force finally cross paths with them, and they recognize their M.O. But before they can even think about arresting them they must fight together against the assassin's latest target and the army of henchmen that arrive to defend him. The assassins get away, so there is one final surprise. An exciting installment, although it is hard to see how all of the series narrative threads can be wrapped up in the final volume. Things will have to move fast!
