☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Sharpen Your Teeth" marks a pivotal moment in The Kitchen, as newly released Tommy steps into the women’s world of crime and survival, helping them dispose of Nicky’s body and formally joining their crew. With Kath aiding Heather’s escape from her pimp and tensions rising over Tony Castellano’s suspicious offer to broker a meeting with mob boss Alfonso Gargano, trust becomes as sharp as the knives they’re all carrying. Written by Ollie Masters and illustrated by Ming Doyle, with colors by Jordie Bellaire and letters by Clem Robins, the issue’s cover by Becky Cloonan captures the grim, tense atmosphere of this dangerous new chapter.
In the 1970s, Kath Brennan, her sister Raven, and Angie Dillon find themselves thrust into power after their mobster husbands are imprisoned, navigating a dangerous world where loyalty is tested and violence is currency. When Kath’s brutal confrontation with Franky Castellano reveals his ties to the Italian mob, the stakes rise—and so does the cost of survival.
In "One-Way Street," the fragile peace among Kath Brennan, Angie Dillon, Raven Burke, and Nicky Lubretzi shatters when Nicky threatens to expose them for attacking the comatose Franky—demanding twenty thousand dollars to stay silent. When they can’t pay and he escalates, the women make a desperate choice that changes everything.
In "Abattoir Blues," newly released from a psychiatric institution, Tommy steps into a world of danger and loyalty when he helps Kath Brennan and her crew dispose of a body. As Kath aids her old friend Heather in fleeing her pimp, tensions rise when Tony Castellano offers to broker a meeting with mob boss Alfonso Gargano—leaving Raven and the others to wonder if the favor comes with a hidden cost.
In "Homecomin'," Angie Dillon, Kath Brennan, and Raven Burke navigate the shifting tides of power after consolidating their control in the kitchen world—only to face a new tension as their husbands, Rob Dillon and Johnny Burke, return from prison. With mob boss Alfonso Gargano watching closely and old loyalties fraying, the women must decide what home truly means when the past comes knocking.
In the tense aftermath of a violent power shift, Tommy’s brutal act sets off a chain of reckoning that pulls Raven, Angie, and Kath into a deadly game of loyalty and survival. With alliances crumbling and old wounds reopened, Raven must confront the truth about her marriage, her past, and the price of mercy—while a single deal with Gargano could end it all.
In "Everything Goes to Hell," tensions explode when Jimmy Brennan flees with his sons, seeking refuge with Alfonso Gargano—only to be betrayed and handed back to the women he abandoned. With Kath, Angie, and Raven now united in fury, and Heather’s role as babysitter adding fuel to the fire, the fragile peace in The Kitchen shatters, leaving trust in ruins and old wounds wide open.
In "To the End," Raven Burke's grip on the crew frays as discontent boils over—Angie Dillon and Tommy plan to leave, and Kath Brennan confronts Raven about Tony's murder, only to be killed in a brutal clash. A year later, Raven returns home to a chilling surprise: Alfonso Gargano's head in her refrigerator. Angie and Tommy emerge from the shadows, ready to settle the score.
