Gunsmith Cats: Burst Omnibus Volume 2

Gunsmith Cats: Burst Omnibus Volume 2 continues Kenichi Sonoda’s action-packed crime-busting saga. Rally Vincent runs Gunsmith Cats, a Chicago-area gun shop, with partner Minnie-May Hopkins while chasing bounty jobs to pay the bills. This omnibus collects chapters 22–50 of Burst plus the finale “Faces of Chicago,” delivering a dense, 500-page collection in the 2000s unflopped format read right-to-left. The story pits Rally against fast cars, fierce mobsters, and old rivals: an illegal V8 race with high-stakes bets; Bean Bandit, Rally’s wily nemesis; and Iron Goldie, a memory-shattered foe whose designer drug formula adds danger to the shadows. As Goldie’s past resurfaces, Rally’s skill, nerve, and loyalty are pushed to the limit. Sonoda’s retro anime-influenced art and pulp-noir tone fuse stylish femme fatales, high-speed chases, and Chicago-flavored grit, reaffirming Gunsmith Cats Burst as a cult classic within the larger Gunsmith Cats universe.
