Black Lagoon, Band 06

ブラックラグーン [Black Lagoon] #6

by Rei Hiroe

BANG! BOOM! BANG! Wer behauptet, Nonnen und Hausmädchen könnten kein Maschinengewehr bedienen, wird in BLACK LAGOON 6 eines Besseren belehrt. CARLSEN MANGA! lädt nach und schießt den sechsten Band des spektakulären Actionhits direkt über die Ladentheke!
Gerade als Revy es sich mit der Nonne Eda am Altar so richtig gemütlich gemacht hat um ein paar Gläschen zu kippen, sucht eine verzweifelte junge Dame Zuflucht im Gotteshaus. Die unschuldig wirkende Blondine wird von ihren Auftraggebern verfolgt - denn sie hatte nichts Besseres zu tun, als beim Nuevo-Laredo-Kartell die Matrize zur Blütenherstellung mitgehen zu lassen. Und schon geht es rund in den ehrwürdigen Gemäuern!
Bleihaltige Balleraction der Extraklasse!

this is becoming a favourite series of mine now.
gotta love Revy. great character!

Basically, Black Lagoon works best when it leavens the action elements with a hefty dose of black comedy and a bit of philosophy, and works worst when it reverses those.

This was a wild ride. First we have a counterfeit operation going bad - barely surviving attack by the mafia Jane, leader of counterfeit outfit hired by the mafia finds herself seeking refuge in rip-off-church (nuns with guns) affiliated with the Revy. This was a wild ride, lots of action and lots of chase.

And when this story ends we are introduced to the bomb assault in Venezuela that will trigger return of Roberta, our beloved commando maiden. Executed by professionals bomb attack killed off her employer and she is now bent on revenge. And by revenge she means starting inter gang war in Roanapur in order to flush out the assassins.

Art is great and story is perfect action trip.

Highly recommended to fans of the series and newcomers (although I recommend you start from the beginning).

Forgotten how much I love this series!

[Kati · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great fight sequences but too much talking. I do like it when a manga has a story, but the story and the conversations have to be interesting. Pages after pages of politicking and/or a very detailed description of counterfeiting? That's rather boring. Also, there was very little interaction between the characters of the Black Lagoon. I love Revy and Rock's bickering of which there was a severe lack in this volume. Revy and Eda were hilarious, though. And the twist with Eda? I so didn't expect that!

I think that this book was quite good, a little confusing but still understandable.
