Ovde nema sta puno da dodam posto je sve manje vise na istom nivou ko i u prethodnoj knjizi. Puno nasilja, eksplozija, predivnih tehnickih crteza kola i oruzija i povremena golotinja. Prica kao prica nije losa i drzi paznju.

U svakom slucaju kome se svidela prethodna knjiga mogu slobodno da navale.

It's the same as the previous one. The plots are a little more complicated, but not better. Just as fun, though.

This one’s pretty dark. We get more disturbing insight into Minnie May’s relationship and past. They age her up again in this volume, doesn’t make her past any less disturbing. (She’s probably inspired by Jodie Foster’s character in Taxi Driver.) We get some insight on failures that haunt Rally. There’s a big bad drug dealing lesbian dominatrix with a thing for mind control and kidnapping sex slaves. The stakes are high, Rally finally gets into serious law trouble that she can’t charm her way out of. Roy’s deeper connection to Rally is briefly mentioned. Rally is described as looking Indian which wow, awesome.

Cool getaway driver, Bean Bandit, pops up for a good chunk. People test his unbreakable professional driver rules. (Ha! What a character).

There’s a noticeably Huge decrease in gimmicky gun disarming hand shots by Rally this time around. Maybe she wants less Gray’s coming after her for getting limbs blown off? Sonoda mixes it up.

There’s a little comic strip at the end by Hideaki Anno poking fun at Sonoda.

Gunsmithky jsou manga pro každého: jak pro zapřísáhlé otaku, pro které jsou zajímavou exkurzí do doby, kdy manga poprvé dobyla Ameriku, tak pro komiksáky, kteří mangu nečtou a přečtou si maximálně tak jednu ročně. Perfektní akční jízda, která ve druhém svazku mírně prohlubuje příběh a postavy a kdy se budete zaručeně těšit na pokračování. www.comixzone.cz/view/1895-gunsmith-c...

I know why I loved this series now 😍

[Alvaro Matteucci · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's like eating a bucket of wings. You can't stop until you're done, even if you know it'll be bad for you and you'll end up feeling dirty.

It's got very good art, very poor characterization (I don't know if it's the translation or the original material's fault) and some pretty disturbing ideas about sex.

Definitely not for everyone.

Druhá kniha dějově i kvalitativně navazuje na první knihu. Pořád je to napínavé, akční, drsné, humorné a má to kapku erotiky. Druhou knihu jsem četl hned po té první a v jednu chvíli jsem měl trošku pocit, že je to pořád to samé. Ale přidaly se drogy a celé to najednou dostalo úplně jiný odstín. Pořád je to hodně zábavné a nemůžu jinak než hodnotit to stejně jako první knihu.

[Will Brown · Rating 3 out of 5]

The epic car chases and showdowns with the Mafia are great, but the back half of the omnibus is bogged down by Minnie May's awkward awkward love life and an absolutely absurd plot involving drugs, hypnotism, and a rapey dominatrix. What's good about the last volume is still good here, I just wish the authors kinks didn't get in the way.

[Chris · Rating 4 out of 5]

Major improvement from the first volume. Biggest thing is made everyone older so all the sex is way less creepy. Better is there is more depth. More backstory, new arch bad gals, and LOTs of new guns. This is just a fun quick read.

very good

- Very interesting plot with super cool scenerios!

[Ben · Rating 3 out of 5]

Second verse, same as the first.

[Jack · Rating 3 out of 5]

Rally Vincent is so charming that I am willing to look past the shortcomings of this series. The action bits are great and the fan service stuff (and what seems to be the author’s weird kinks) is so ridiculously over the top it wraps back around to being funny.

[Johnathon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another fun entry in the series as Rally & Minnie-May deal with an old enemy trying to escape prison while a new one emerges with some very powerful drugs as a weapon. Kenichi Sonoda delivers some great action & knows his firearms (though the most unrealistic part of the series is that two girls could run a gun store in Chicago), along with some fun humor. However, the gratuitous nudity of the women in the book takes away what should be a an awesome action series starring two badass girls. Overall, still a fun action series though not quite a classic.

[Karl Kindt · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fun action with cool guns and sweet cars.

[Nicolas · Rating 2 out of 5]

Exactement les mêmes qualités et défauts que le premier tome : jolies filles, gros flingues, dézinguages à tout va ...

[Adam Šilhan · Rating 2 out of 5]

Nejvíc mě na jedničce asi bavilo to, jak je jiná oproti tomu, co jsem doteď četl. O to dvojka logicky přichází, navíc mi přijde už méně bláznivá a více hloupá.

[Đenis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ďalšia šialená akčná jazda Rally a Minnie. Ukončenie príbehovej línie s Grayom a nový príbeh proti špičke z talianskej mafie a hypnotickej droge.
