Rally Vincent and Minnie-May Hopkins are back for more explosive action in the second Gunsmith Cats Burst omnibus volume, and we have an exclusive first look at the cover! See what Dark Horse has in store ahead of the new volume’s release below.
Gunsmith Cats Omnibus Volume 2—featuring story and art by Kenichi Sonoda and translation by Studio Cutie—hits shelves on March 17, 2026 for $29.99. This one collects chapters 22-50 of Burst along with the final chapter, “Faces of Chicago.”
Here’s how Dark Horse describes it:
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. And 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!
In Gunsmith Cats Burst Omnibus vol. 2, an illegal road race exclusively for V8 freaks is underway. While big-money bets from the audience are flying fast and furious online, Rally’s behind the wheel of her new Mustang II King Cobra to keep a tail on Bean Bandit. Bean’s the
favorite to win the race…but his obsessed nemesis Detective Percy is in the contest too. And Percy’s not what you’d call a clean cop—in fact he’s so dirty, he’s taking a 10% cut of the bets…plus he plans to throw the odds by having Bean wrecked by hired mercenaries armed with rocket- propelled grenades!
Then it’s back to Rally’s side hustle of bounty hunting—but before she can collect on a Mafia informer who’s jumped bail, he’s downed by a sniper working for none other than Rally’s own arch-enemy, Iron Goldie. She’s been assumed deceased ever since Rally put a bullet in her head, but Goldie’s not out for revenge—because she doesn’t remember who shot her! There’s more than just old grudges at stake; Goldie’s also forgotten her valuable designer drug formula, and her henchman wants Rally’s help in getting his boss’s memory back. That might prove a little dangerous for Rally, but the Mob’s hostage might convince her to cooperate.
