Synopsis for "Strontium Dog: The Moses Incident (part 5)"[]
Johnny and Wulf land on the Island of the Living Dead with Moses' body. A flashback explains how the Lyran sorcerers imprisoned Malak Brood and his brothers on the island, with the weight of their sins attached to their ankles in the form of balls and chains. Malak freed himself from his cell by killing his brothers and absorbing their life force. He went on to kill all the other prisoners on the island and reanimate them as zombies who would do his bidding. However, he absorbed the sins of his brothers when he killed them, and with each subsequent killing his ball and chain grew heavier, so he reached a state of stasis: absolute master of his domain and its inhabitants, but unable to actually leave the island because of the weight attached to him.

When one of them tries to drown Rogue, Venus charges into battle with her dagger shouting "No, not my Rogue!" Missiles hit the Nort ships. Bagman says it must be the Souther navy. Rogue is left with a dilemma: should he tell the Southers what Venus did?
