This issue starts with a romantic interlude between Tommy, and Tiegel, in a cozy hotel. All goes well until a gross misunderstanding leads to big row between them. As Tommy gets out from the hotel, he bumps into Natt, who tells him that a lady wants to see him. That lady is Frances Monaghan, Tommy’s big sister, he ne never knew he had! Katie tells Tommy that his mother, Kathrin "Katie" Monaghan, didn’t abandon him, but that she was murdered!

Tommy goes into the orphanage where he grew up, and finds out that Sean Noonan and Sister Concepta that raised him are having an affair. They all meet up at the bar where some earth-shattering revelations take place! Tommy ends up going back to his roots, in Ireland, with his sister, to find out more, and end this once and for all. In the way we learn about Tommy’s mother, and her tragic story. Tommy and Frances end up in Katie’s place, but somebody is watching them. The issue ends with Sean and Sister Concepta saying that they didn’t tell Tommy and Frances everything, "Jesus, how could we?". This means that some more earth shattering revelations, and action will take place next issue! I can’t wait.....

All in all, this is the least humourous Hitman issue I have read so far. Don’t get me wrong, this is a very good tale, and a good read. It has to do with a very tragic story, and Garth Ennis treats it accordingly. Again, the dialog is great, the language used totally true and believable. Garth Ennis does a great job with his characters. Sean and Sister Concepta shine and show a new face. We can see that the relationship between Tommy and Tiegel is going nowhere. Garth Ennis is also very good at showing us Frances and Tommy’s common points, even giving Frances some of Tommy’s wit.

This issue is a great chance to see John McCrea in his more subtle moments. There are no shoot-outs in this issue, but some great character development. He manages to show us clearly that Frances and Tommy are related, by drawing Frances having the same style as Tommy, the same haircut, but more gentle and female features. The black and white sequences in which we learn Katie’s story are great. A very special highlight is the point where we see Tommy’s dad. Garth doesn’t say that he is Tommy’s dad, but we can see it clearly via John’s artwork, that displays how these two people are so similar, and yet different. The colours and the inks are also very good. Carla Finey shines in the "revelation", and black and white sequences, while Leach’s inks fit John’s pencils greatly.
