toxictattoo for letting me know about the small article in this issue again about Gungrave. I REALLY need to work on getting one of our scanners hooked up so I can scan the damn pic in. Its not the greatest that they used but its a cool up close piece of the casket and Grave's back.

A bullet made of more than lead
No one can stop the Grim Reaper once he launches into action. With "Ceruberus," his pair of handguns (named after the guard dogs of hell, Cerberus), anything in his path simply gets mowed down by his overwhelming destructive power.
This Grim Reaper wasn't always a harbinger of death. Before his resurrection, he was Brandon Heat, a man born and raised in the dirtiest slum of a seedy city. Yasuhiro Nightow, who did the character conception for both the original game and this work, describes him as "clumsy and simple-minded, but tough through and through - obstinate." In the first half of Gungrave, we follow this "clumsy" man as he ascends to the pinnacle of power, is betrayed, falls, and is then reborn as the bullet-blasting Beyond the Grave.
A wide range of emotion is packed into the hot lead of Grave's deadly bullets. Along with the remaining bits of his gentle humanity, those bullets also express the ferocious anger of a man betrayed - his resentment and desire for revenge. Anger carries him forward, as inexorable as a river of hot magma. Where will it take him?
Nightow says, "I get excited thinking about how much emotion I can load into each shot fired during the battles in the second half [of the series]." There's deeper meaning to the rain of bullets fired by this Grim Reaper, and that's what Gungrave intends to portray. These bullets carry a heavy load as they fly across the sky and punch straight through to the hearts of the audience.
It's too late for anyone to stop the Grim Reaper. All we can do is surrender.
The little blurbs on the pic wasn't really worth typing up but I liked this one the best.
Character of Grave
You can imagine how reckless Grave is by seeing him single-handedly taking on Millennion, a huge organization that controls the underworld. "He matter-of-factly takes on the worst jobs," Nightow says, "but he's kind enough to stand up for the weak."
