The Kitchen #1

Jan 2015 · DC · 2.99 USD
“Sharpen Your Teeth”

"Sharpen Your Teeth" kicks off The Kitchen #1 with a sharp, simmering premise: in 1970s New York, three women—Kath, her sister Raven, and Angie—step into the power vacuum left by their imprisoned mobster husbands, only to find the underworld is far less forgiving than they expected. Written by Ollie Masters and brought to life with bold, textured art by Ming Doyle and vibrant colors by Jordie Bellaire, the story unfolds with tense precision, anchored by a pivotal moment when Kath’s violent confrontation with Franky reveals a deeper, more dangerous web of connections. The cover by Becky Cloonan captures the story’s raw edge and simmering threat.
