Guns, girls, hot cars and crazy action!I love Gunsmith Cats. It's like reading an action movie. :)
So Rally's still dealing with the mess from last volume, and it's driving her crazy that she can't carry a gun or chase bounties. Doesn't help that everyone keeps rubbing her nose in it, either.
But she's determined to deal with Bean Bandit. And after Rally finds out that Bean's transporting another shipment of hallucinogens, he makes her a deal -- she stops him without firing a bullet or calling in the calvary, and he'll stop running drugs.
Now Bean's so danged hardcore he's got a bulletproof bandanna, but this time the battles are behind the wheel and Rally's relying on her much abused Shelby GT 500. We get a crazy car chase through the wilds of the frozen Midwest that reads like it's hopped up on crack. It's got the feel of the best of the over-the-top Hong Kong action flicks, and it's just masterfully done.
The second story is much different, and was a nice change of pace. Rally and Minnie May get mixed up in the story of a custody dispute between a professional stage magician and his stuck-up society wife. Kidnappings, criminal doings, mistaken identities and tricks abound, and one key clue is on the collar of a doggie. An extended flashback gives us some more hints about Rally's past, and I hope sets up for some final answers.
