☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume continues the high-octane exploits of the Lagoon Company, a crew of mercenary pirates operating out of the crime-ridden Thai city of Roanapur. The collection features the conclusion of the 'Greenback Jane' arc, where the crew gets entangled in a dangerous counterfeiting scheme, followed by the start of the 'El Baile de la Muerte' story arc, which plunges them into a deadly island battle royale. Written and illustrated by Rei Hiroe, this edition collects chapters from the original Japanese manga series.
"El Baile De La Muerte, Part 13" delivers another pulse-pounding chapter in Rei Hiroe’s gritty, high-stakes saga, where loyalties fray and violence simmers beneath Roanapur’s surface. With a Colombian drug lord targeting Roberta and her countermove drawing in Major Caxton’s squad, the city’s underworld erupts in a deadly game of cat and mouse—while Revy brokers a dangerous truce with Shenhua to survive it all. The story unfolds with sharp, kinetic energy, drawn and inked with precision by Rei Hiroe and collaborators, and features a striking cover by Hiroe.
In "El Baile De La Muerte, Part 13," Mr. Chang maneuvers through Roanapur’s shifting underworld, seeking alliances with the Church Of Violence and Hotel Moscow to pull Major Cazton’s unit out before Roberta closes in—each move a high-stakes gamble in a city where loyalty is currency and every promise could be a death sentence.
In "El Baile De La Muerte, Part 14," the deadly game in Roanapur heats up as a Colombian drug lord targets Roberta, setting off a chain of betrayals and hires. With Roberta enlisting a local hit squad to eliminate Major Caxton and Caxton himself sensing the rising tide of violence, Revy steps in to broker a fragile deal with Shenhua—taking out both squads before the city burns.
In "El Baile De La Muerte, Part 16," Revy moves into the fray alongside Shenhua, Sawyer The Cleaner, and Lotton The Wizard as tensions ignite in a deadly standoff. Meanwhile, Mr. Bren’s squad begins to unravel the truth, realizing their mission may have been built on deception.
In "El Baile De La Muerte, Part 19," Garcia makes a desperate move, abandoning the group to confront Roberta directly, hoping to reason with her amid rising tension. As Abrego’s squad closes in, both Roberta and Garcia find themselves trapped in a deadly standoff with no clear way out.
In "El Baile De La Muerte, Part 20," Roberta’s violent act shocks Garcia into silence, but his presence only deepens her unraveling. Already high on amphetamines, she spirals into delirium, confronting Garcia with a terrifying certainty that he’s a hallucination she must destroy to prove her own reality.
In "El Baile De La Muerte, Part 21," Major Caxton’s escape from Roberta sets off a high-stakes chain of events as Sister Eda brokers a tense deal with Rock to rescue him from Roanapur’s chaos. With tensions rising and danger closing in, Balalaika readies herself to step into the storm—where loyalties will be tested and the next move could mean everything.
