It's always nice to be sucked back into the world of The Killer, as dark and bleak as it is. With this issue, our nameless protagonist starts taking out leaders of the Venezuelan military coup that has ousted Hugo Chavez. He's doing this on behalf of the Cubans, and goes about the job in a variety of interesting ways.
As the story progresses though, it begins to become clear that he is, for the second time in this series, being manipulated by people who are more in the know than he is, namely his Cuban contact and (perhaps?) girlfriend.
This issue is less philosophical than previous ones, but that helps to support Mariano's assertion that the Killer is currently thinking with an organ other than his brain. Like usual though, this issue is filled with beautiful artwork (I love the way that Jacamon layers shadows and has light penetrate through foliage). The sniper sequences are perfectly laid out. I look forward to the conclusion of this series.
