Manga Report: Gunsmith Cats Omnibus Vol. 2


Yay! More gun-toting, fast-car-driving, miniskirt-wearing goodness with the Gunsmith Cats!

Unlike Volume One, which seemed to have several filler chapters, this collection hits the ground running with the conclusion of the Cats' hunt for Grey.

We then get introduced to a new villain, the drug-dealing lesbian dominatrix Goldie. I think the Russian hitwoman in the anime was supposed to be based on Goldie, but if she was, the makers of the anime got it wrong.

Goldie's brutal and doesn't care who gets hurt if she makes her bank. She releases a dangerous psychotropic drug onto the streets of Chicago, and then sits back to reap the proceeds. When the Cats interfere with her business, Goldie decides she doesn't want to punish Rally, she wants to *possess* her.

And she'll do anything to get what she wants.

Rally's in her stickiest situation yet, and Minnie May's calling in favors to try to save her. But even if she makes it out alive, Rally won't ever be the same.
