Chicago in the 1990s provides good business for two bounty hunting women in Gunsmith Cats Omnibus Vol. 3

Posted on by

Dark Horse Manga celebrates the irreverent manga Gunsmith Cats with new Omnibus editions, bringing the beloved series to new readers. Gunsmith Cats is a story about a gun shop owner and her demolitions expert (and former call girl) partner-in-eradicating-crime and their quest to turn their “hobby” of rounding up the most wanted men and women in Chicago into a lucrative career–all while looking sharp and driving her Shelby Cobra GT 500! Gunsmith Cats Omnibus Volume 3 comes from retro anime legend Kenichi Sonoda, translated by Dana Lewis and Toren Smith, and retouched by Studio Cutie. 

Custody battles can get nasty—but rarely as vicious as the situation Rally and Minnie-May are caught up in. Michael Stone, the famed hypnotist and stage magician known professionally as “Mister Smart,” jumped bail on a hit-and-run, which made him Rally’s business. Kidnapping gets added to the rap sheet, as Smart is set up by his estranged wife on a false charge of abducting his daughter, Jeena. But this is much more than a family dispute, as behind the personal drama is a scheme to use Smart’s skills to rip off $20 million in mob money, with Jeena’s life as the penalty if he doesn’t pull off the trick!

Then, Rally’s trouble-prone pal, master thief Misty Brown, gets into more trouble than ever when she decides to steal Bean “Roadbuster” Bandit’s beloved car, Buff, on a whim. Not only is Bean a tad upset, but Misty is now in terrible danger, and not necessarily from the Roadbuster—because certain ruthless people want to lay hands on the cargo he was transporting. Sure, it was only blank sheets of paper, but there are thousands of them, and it seems they’re the same special kind used by the U.S. Mint!

Hop in with Gunsmith Cats Omnibus Volume 3 when the 648-page (5.75” x 8.25”) paperback arrives in bookstores on August 5, 2025, and comic shops on August 6, 2025, for $29.99. Pre-order now from TFAW, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or your local comic shop or bookstore.

Sanho’s popular manhwa webcomic Purgatory Funeral Cakes is available in English for the first time

Posted on by

Dark Horse Books presents Purgatory Funeral Cakes Volume 1, a new, heartwarming manhwa translated into English for the first time. Written and illustrated by Sanho, translated by Danny Lim, and lettered by Michael Heisler, this story about love and loss arrives in Fall 2025.

Baker Mago and her ghostly assistant Miro make specialty cakes for the dearly departed. Each cake is made custom—tailored to the lost individual. Still-living loved ones share their memories of the deceased which serve as inspiration for the flavors and style, creating a truly one- of-a-kind cake. First, a mystery novelist spends her time volunteering at a hospital to read to patients and meets a blind young woman who grew up in the hospital. The two bond over mystery novels, inspiring the Mystery Novel Crepe cake, a cake made with crepe layers like the pages of a book. Then, the daughter of a vampire reminisces over her daytime life and the hours that separated her from her night-bound mother, and the moments they shared in an evening primrose field inspiring the Evening Primrose Cupcake. The love and care put into each cake will surely bring comfort to both living and dead in this heartwarming story of love and loss.

Purgatory Funeral Cakes Volume 1 (224 pages, paperback, 6” x 9”)will be available in bookstores and comic shops on November 18 and 19, 2025. It is now available to preorder from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Things From Another World, and your local comic shop or bookstore for $19.99.
