More from a recent Dark Horse Comics news release:

“This series is a non-stop, action-packed, nostalgia-filled love letter to those buddy cop blockbuster movies of the 1980s and 90s with huge chase scenes and even bigger hair! For those who’ve never ridden shotgun with the ladies of the Gunsmith Cats gunshop, be prepared for the violence and action of Hellsing mixed with the blatant organized crime of games like Grand Theft Auto. Anything could happen in 1990’s Chicago, and it usually does!

Rally Vincent runs Gunsmith Cats—a gun shop in Illinois, with her partner, demolitions expert and former call girl Minnie-May Hopkins. But Rally’s “real” job doesn’t pay the bills; her hobby does. Her hobby is bounty hunting: bringing the most wanted men and women in the Chicago area to justice—dressed in her sharp suit and tie and driving her Shelby Cobra GT 500!

But Rally and Minnie-May have their work cut out for them in Gunsmith Cats Omnibus Volume 1, with corrupt lawyers and cops, fetish-fueled hitmen, and crazed cocaine kingpins bringing the copters, the big rigs, and even the anti-tank guns onto the streets and the freeways of Chicagoland in a windshield whirlwind of double-crosses, car chases, and shootouts!“”

Gunsmith Cats Omnibus Volume 1 is set to hit bookstores on February 4, 2025, and comic shops on February 5, 2025.
