The story blends action, comedy, and light fantasy, following Mikan's quest to become a legendary outlaw while dealing with the mysterious powers of her enchanted revolver. This collection likely wraps up or advances the ongoing narrative from the earlier volumes in the series.
In "The Entrance to Hell Is Right Next Door," Jo and the others reunite with Mingchao as they uncover a hidden tunnel leading to Bedloe's Island—home to The Syndicate's secret headquarters. Along the way, they stumble upon a clandestine workshop where Eto Guns are being mass-produced, hinting at a far-reaching conspiracy. Written by Tow Nakazaki and Katherine Schilling, with art by Nakazaki and inks by Tatsuo Toda, Yumeshi Suisei, and Nobumasa Gotou, the issue blends tense discovery with eerie atmosphere, all rendered in a distinctive visual style. The cover, penciled and inked by Nakazaki, captures the unsettling tone of the journey ahead.
In "The Entrance to Hell Is Right Next Door," Baskerville and his crew storm a hidden drug lab beneath Manhattan, unearthing a labyrinth of tunnels that serve as the Syndicate’s secret smuggling route—just as the city’s frontier spirit meets its most twisted underground.
In "A Torrent of Bullets," Jo and Mingchao race through a hidden tunnel beneath Bedloe's Island, uncovering a secret workshop where Eto Guns are being churned out in alarming numbers—just as The Syndicate’s grip on the frontier tightens. With the past echoing in every shadow and the weight of forgotten alliances pressing in, the duo must decide how far they’re willing to go to stop the next wave of violence.
In "Idea Round-up," Mingchao and Fino riff on unused concepts for Eto and Zodiac bullets, spinning wild, off-the-wall scenarios with playful energy. The humor shines in their brainstorming session, spotlighting the creative chaos behind the scenes of a series that never got to use them.
