The Bad Guys in Mission Unpluckable

Wolf, Snake, Shark, and Piranha attempt to free ten thousand chickens from a high-tech cage farm, but lasers, a tarantula, and Snake’s appetite complicate the rescue. The mission forces the team’s heroic ambition into direct conflict with the reputation—and instincts—they are trying to escape.

Read it after The Bad Guys so the group’s reform project is already clear. The huge rescue and internal distrust create more sustained pressure than the first volume’s smaller good deeds. The Furball Strikes Back shifts the danger outward to a guinea-pig scientist seeking revenge; Mission Unpluckable is the better choice for testing whether the team can trust one another.
