トライガン: Deep Space Planet Future Gun Action!! 2

トライガン [Trigun] (3 volumes) #2

by Yasuhiro Nightow, 内藤泰弘

BANG BANG!!!

Dark Horse continues its parade of new manga with the second, super fat volume of Trigun! Set in some kind of post-apocalypse western future, Trigun continues to knit a goofy yet mysterious story about a nice-guy gunslinger with a dangerous past and a huge bounty on his head.

Everyone is after Vash the Stampede, but no one can put a bullet in him. Adding to the comedy is the pair of ladies working for an insurance company who must put a stop to Vash's destruction, though they certainly don't believe this amiable prankster is the vicious destroyer. It's a fun read, and super thick, packed full of silliness and action.

From the the talented & twisted mind of Yasuhiro Nightow (1967-), here comes another volume full of huge guns, signature characters, wild shoot-em-up action, and funny writing. Celebrated for both his writing and art style, the Japanese manga artist is well known for his magnus opus 'Trigun' (1998). Beloved by many, it has also been adapted into a hit anime series and film. He is also behind the design of the characters for the iconic video game and anime series 'Gungrave' (2003-2004).

3.5, not as good as the first volume (i glazed over the fight scenes a bit), but saved by Meryl doing complex emotions + the plant design (so extremely cool and beautiful).

thinking about the panel with his wings. the way Vash can square his empathy with the plant's necessity... how it's so clearly beneficial when the plant is taken care of and treated with reciprocal care and kindness .... ooogh that's some good shit right there. somebody do that to him now, please

Vash, Cheryl and Millie find their adventures riddled with danger as they attempt to save a hijacked sandstreamer and protect a small garden from vicious bandits - but even when the dust settles, the haunting presence of someone from Vash's past threatens to end his peaceful journey permanently. Nightow keeps the humour and action fast-paced with another entertaining entry, a fun time despite its shaky illustrations. Could there be anyone stronger than Vash on this planet...and what happens once they decide to make their big move?

I’m glad this series is getting just a little bit more of attention thanks to the remake of Trigun Stampede, it’s a huge like for me to be honest! I love Vash’s character a lot. Although the story goes pretty fast in the manga due to how short it is.

Man, I love Vash.

I wish he could bash me upside the head and tell me that we'll survive.

It would be enough.
