The story
The story starts where #1 left us with Joanna held at gunpoint. As a professional Joanna deals with the situation keeping her cool. Turns out the guy holding the gun is her latest employer. And sneaking a gun past his security into his compound was a test of her skills. Obviously, she passes with flying colors. Now, after testing Joanna the client feels comfortable in offering her the actual job – sneaking a gun into prison, to get a hit on an old enemy. Agent Barrows tries to convince Joanna to join the side of the “good guys” by playing on her emotions. However, this plan bears no fruits. What follows is Joanna`s plan and the consequences of working for “bad guys”. Do not want to go too far into spoiler territory, but the plan works out brilliantly. However, what happens next was not to plan.
A warning this issue has some very explicit scenes, so probably would be wise to read when you are away from prying eyes.
The Art
Ang Hor Kheng definitely knows what Charles Ardai had in mind with Joanna Tan and the supporting characters. The art continues to amaze me. The cover by Kendrick Lim to me works extremely well. Showing you exactly what you are in for an eye-popping tale of a femme fatale willing to do what it takes to get the job done.
Verdict
Gun Honey is an unstoppable force. Although having some minor issues, it seems things work out for Miss Tan quite easily and without struggle. In saying that, if you want a polished hard-hitting action-packed story led by an extremely sexy main protagonist then Gun Honey is right up your alley. Joanna Tan is in a league of her own, willing to do whatever it takes to finish the job. Gun Honey issue two continues in the brilliance of the first issue, despite some shortcomings that can very easily be overlooked. Issue 2 is a must-read.
