It’s the final volume of the manga so Viu along with his rope master buddy Will and cute but deadly knife thrower Colice better hustle if they hope to beat the stampede to the legendary Gun Blaze West! All three are intent to get there and to do it their way or the highway! It doesn’t matter how many smarmy varmints or shady gun handlers cross their paths, they plan on sticking not only to their guns but also their convictions in their search for the place to find out which of them is the best fighter of them all! Hats off to the kid, Viu sure takes a lickin’ but keeps on truckin’. They run into all sorts in the final volume. But not everyone is a bad egg. J.J. is a cool cat with suave gunslinger ways and might not be a bad sort. A group of them have chosen to be pals until they have to fight should they reach GBW. Using the tickets (the clues on their artifacts), Viu and the gang all find the place that should point the way – but it’s blocked! And it isn’t blocked by just anyone. It’s blocked by the gargantuan Armor Baron and he’s suited up in an armored outfit like a knight. If they want to get to GBW they have to defeat his horde of knights and him in order to move forward. Viu’s answer? To rush in and get it done! It’s a crazy melee of medieval times meets Wild West rough housing as each of them squares off against different fighters like Sarge Thunder Arm. But Viu has his eyes on the big prize. To get stronger you should fight against the strongest. At least that’s what Viu believes, so while his buddies square off against the minions, he takes on the Baron! It’s one supreme fight of bullets and guts! But how can you beat a guy in the old west when bullets can’t hurt him because of his armor? Viu better figure out a way because its do or die time, and for him the ‘die’ part might become all too real! The final volume is fast paced and kickin’! It is crazy zany with the knights and all fighting the gunslingers. It’s the Old West like it has never been done before! It’s a short manga series so the end comes up fast. Readers will get to find out if Viu makes it to GBW or not. And the manga throws in some more character profiles too.
IN SUMMARY:
Find out if Viu finds the legendary Gun Blaze West in the fast paced, gun blazing final volume! |
