In this stand-alone issue of the totally riveting new series by Bob Hall, the story continues to follow the 'Westies' in Hell's Kitchen. This time, though, the focus is on the stripper, Kandi Kane. It's a love story -- only in Hell's Kitchen, love may be different than you'd find in the nice, safe suburbs of America. For comics with the jaw-breaking wallop of a set of brass knuckles, Armed and Dangerous continues to delight the lovers of dark crime genres everywhere. And this issue is a good jumping-on point for people who've yet to try this adult, two-fisted comic delight.
