Many of the Gung Ho Guns have been defeated, but more gun-wielding weirdos can take their place, like Ynwei and Yangwei, a terrible yin and yang duo. Meanwhile, Knives is hatching a plot that means trouble for Vash and those under his protection.

"YA. Graphic Novel. On the forbidding desert planet of Gunsmoke, a sixty billion double-dollar bounty hangs over the head of Vash the Stampede, a pistol-packing pacifist with a weapon capable of punching holes in a planet. Every trigger-happy psycho in creation is aiming to claim Vash dead or alive - preferably dead. And although Vash is an avowed pacifist, he won't go down without a fight. And when Vash fights, destruction is sure to follow!" -- 14...

Vash must leave his friends, Meryl and Milly behind as he walks the treacherous and bloody path prepared by Legato and prevent him and the Gung-Ho Guns from killing more innocent people.

Wolfwood, the man of the cloth with the cross, is also a gunman with a past. Like Vash, Wolfwood travels to redemption in the desert but continually finds that confrontations with one's past can be far more deadly than a duel with pistols. Will these two kindred souls walk the same path or find each other obstacles to survival?

The reckless pursuit of rewards or revenge sometimes leads away from the true goals of life. It's time for Vash to show what he can do when his past comes back to haunt him.

"A glimpse into the past reveals the history of the world, and perhaps its future. August is gone, and with it went the man in red. Wolfwood, returns to aid in his resurrection, but can Vash rediscover his purpose? Revenge does not satisfy hate, but can love of life really defeat death? Only Vash has a chance to find the answer!"--Container.
