Review/plot:
Death's Head II is accidentally on Un-Earth, and he's created an anomaly that threatens to destroy the real world, so Mys-Tech have deployed the Warheads to take care of him. We've seen the Warheads coming upon Death's Head twice already, in Mys-Tech Wars #2 and Death's Head II #5, and both times it seemed like the Warheads went straight to Death's Head II. But we see here that they actually land elsewhere on Un-Earth and have to fight their way through hordes of demons before getting to Death's Head.

In the course of doing so, they rescue a little girl.

And then they find Death's Head.

They don't fight for long, and the Warheads tell Death's Head where he is. Some of the Warheads, if not all of them, are already doubting their employment with Mys-Tech, and spelling out to Death's Head what their employers are up to doesn't help matters.

Then they wind up having to join forces to fight a particularly tough demon.

Misha winds up getting swallowed by the demon. She's been out of sorts since losing the Voice in her head, after it turned out to be Blackheart in the last arc. But, after Liger shouts for her to trust herself, she remembers a spell that she read while the female Warheads were prisoners of the cat lady, and she uses that spell to blow up the demon.

However, more powerful demons show up, and Misha's spell only works from the inside. So Misha tells everyone to form a "septugram", via which she will focus a different spell. The problem is that even with Death's Head II, there are only six of them, so they need the girl they rescued to be part of the septugram.

Despite Leona's objection, the girl is included in the spell, and she dies.

Liger tells Leona that she's not the only person who has "other reasons" for remaining in the Warheads. Death's Head II then convinces them all to go after the Mys-Tech board.
