The 3rd, and thus far, last Kim and Kim adventure finds the "Fighting Kims" trying to be professionals. And failing miserably. Their boss has been hired to protect a famous painting, and sends the Kims to distract a renowned socialite art thief, so she won't steal it. They cook up a scheme to steal a rare recording of "Heaven is a Place on Earth" from Kim Q's dad, a very dangerous dude. It's supposed to be a fake theft that he lets them pull off, but Furious Quattro is a dick who still refers to his daughter by her pre-transition name and gender, so Kim never gets around to asking and they just steal it outright.
And get betrayed by the thief and dumped on a ship headed to a prison planet. Their eventual escape is messy, unplanned beyond Kim Q gaining enough control of the prisoner factions to make them riot, and only succeeds because Furious sent two of his guys - one of whom, Saar, was Kim Q's best friend as a kid - to rescue another of his agents (a talking corgi-man.) The Kims track down the thief, hoping to both recover the recording and rescue their boss, who got caught trying to retrieve the painting because the Kims failed to sufficiently distract said thief.
Given Xue was pretty into Kim D, who was also clearly into Xue, she probably should have just tried a marathon sex session as a distraction instead. Especially since the Kims fail. They get their asses kicked, don't recover the painting, and only walk out with their lives and the recording because El Scorcho (who Cabrera draws as either a pterodactyl-man or a dragon-man, though a name like "El Scorcho" suggests dragon), doesn't want to ruin his business arrangements with Furious by killing his kid. On the other hand, Saar is officially out of rope with Furious, so he's probably dead. Or in El Scorcho's clutches, which I assume is like being dead, but more painful.
In the second mini-series, Visaggio has Kim D's shitty ex ask what she's doing, living like this. She always had plans and goals. Now she's living in a space van, bumming money off her parents. It feels like Visaggio ramps that up, teasing the end of the partnership, as Kim D is pretty pissed at how things are going, and specifically pissed at Kim Q by the end of this story. Understandably so. Most of their problems are a result of the fact Kim Q not only can't get a handle on her impulses or temper, she doesn't even try.
When they're looking for Xue at a casino, Kim Q gets in a fight with a guy because she figures he's cheating. He is, but it causes a huge scene when they're supposed to avoid that, and means he picks a fight with her when he spots her in the crowd aboard El Scorcho's ship. She can't even pretend to get along with her father long enough for this one job. Furious is a complete dick to be sure, and we get some flashbacks to Kim's childhood that explain a lot of her attitude - the entitlement, the aggression, the inability to know when to let something drop - courtesy of her upbringing, but his cooperation was necessary for their plan, and she not only didn't get it, she didn't tell Kim D she didn't get it until they were already pulling the theft.
She pushes Kim D to use necromancy to rescue their boss, even knowing that's a really unpleasant experience, then completely fails to uphold her part of the deal by getting in the fight with the cheater. Not great, making her friend deal with unhappy parts of their past, when she failed utterly to do the same, putting them in this circumstance to begin with. Especially when you then lose all the fights you're getting them into, costing them money, hurting their rep, putting targets on their heads, getting other friends killed.
Basically, Kim Q comes off as a terrible friend in this story, the worst of kind of self-involved jerk, and Visaggio would have to do something pretty big to reverse that trend if we ever got another adventure for these two.
