Short but Sweet!!

...just like Minnie May. This is volume 5 or the series and concludes the story that started in the previous volume. However, it's not Goldie's final appearance. The back cover of the previous volume suggested that Goldie is an assassin, but here she is described as a boss. Both titles could be true, but she doesn't appear to take orders from anyone. Goldie is an expert killer. Kerasine came up at the end of Goldie vs. Misty. Now we see just how bad kerasine really is. Goldie manages to get a strong hold on Rally and causes her to get into serious trouble. Rally is strong, but she may need some help. Once again we see a little more of Minnie May's past. It will be a little longer before we begin Rally's past. ...but not in this volume. The fight in the graveyard is great. ...and weird! The ending had a nice twist too. This is for mature audiences. The storyline is a bit intense, and there is some nudity.

Serious head trip

Gunsmith Cats: Bad Trip picks up where cliffhanger of Goldie Vs. Misty left off, with Rally being forced into Goldie's service. The prospect of Rally's abilities used for evil is frightening, but fortunately she's stronger than she's given credit for. As usual, the art is gorgeous, the action is intense, and the storytelling is always engaging. Nudity and violence abound. Plus, despite its size as one of the shortest GSC collections, the plot is full of twists and surprises, and one of the most bizarre, hallucinogenic shootouts found in Gunsmith Cats or anywhere else. Rally's dug herself into the deepest hole she's been in yet--Bad Trip is as hard core as the series has ever been. Don't get it if you haven't read Goldie Vs. Misty, though--they're basically companion volumes. I highly recommend the entire series.
