The nameless mercenary duo find themselves out of the frying pan and back into the fire in this issue.  When seen last, the Big Guy was faced with having to defeat a monstrous ape creature of Rancor-like proportions.  In true Skullkickers fashion, the monster is dispatched at the very start, highlighting the humor of this book.  The rest of the issue brings the laughs and action, and hints at a connection between the real assassin and the noblemen.

How do you end a miniseries that involves some of the most infamous London characters of both the literary and real world?  With an epic showdown at a sewage pumping plant, of course.  This series is drawing to a close with the identity of Jack the Ripper having been discovered, and Dr. Jekyll and Inspector Thomas Adye of Scotland Yard barreling down on the fiendish villain.  By the end of this issue, you’ll be questioning who the good guys are, if there are any to speak of!
