  Plot
  Sharkey and Extra-Billy are on the verge of neutralizing Cody Blue and Thena Khole when they are suddenly attacked by local police. The authorities are after Extra-Billy, as—prior to meeting Sharkey—he had robbed numerous high-profile figures in that system. Thena is moved by Sharkey’s plan to use the bounty money to pay off the solar energy debts on her father’s home planet, but Cody remains indifferent; the reward is simply too massive to care about anything else.
  
  They are overwhelmed by the news that both have been infected by Jonlinn Terauts, leaving them with only days to live.
  
  Sharkey and Extra-Billy face incineration—the standard punishment for thieves who have stolen as much as Extra-Billy has.
  
  Ea ch installment has featured nods to our planet's pop culture; this time, Thena delivers a fun, critical jab at the MCU.
  
  Thena and Cody are then confronted by Quinton, their larva-like butler, who betrays them for the bounty; he and his accomplices work for a bounty-hunting agency. Cody strikes a deal with them, offering half the money stolen from the Queen of Enough. They agree, largely because the alternative punishment awaiting Cody and Thena was being eaten by the Queen at a banquet—a common form of retribution for her—and they would rather die from the disease.
  
  This crossover offers a more dramatic take on the adventures of these thieves and the bounty hunter. Mark Millar cleverly continues to play with pop-culture references while highlighting relevant social and economic issues, all wrapped in a science-fiction setting.
  
  Art
  The art style is classic, harkening back to 1970s sci-fi and action pulp comics. It employs a warm color palette, lending the work a beautiful vintage feel.
  
  Summary
  Extra-Billy's secret ruins Sharkey's plan to capture Cody and Thena, who are terribly betrayed by their butler more
