Everything has culminated in this extra-sized final issue of the second installment of No One Left To Fight II.

With no one left to vanquish, Timur challenges Vale to see who is truly the strongest warrior in the. Friendly rivalries turn to a blood feud that will change the entire dynamic of this series, possibly forever.

Sitterson wraps up this last chapter of the second installment of this series with earth-shattering action that delivers on bombastic combat and surprising consequences that will be felt throughout the universe! It’s one thing that this series embraces its influences and does not shy away from wearing it on its sleeves. Its Dragon Ball and Street FIghter amped up to a whole other level. Usually, when reading in stories where rivals battle each other it’s often entertaining, but never quite goes in places that leave readers in shock and awe. Especially in 2022 where every rivalry trope is often recognized and done to death. That’s not to say there isn’t any entertainment value in seeing such friendly rivalries, but more often than not within the last decade, it hasn’t quite reached the heights that usually expected.

With a series like this, where a writer such as Sitterson has established himself as a student of the shonen game, he is able to look at what works and what no longer works, and implement some stakes that deliver believable ramifications that are felt and thus far, convincing. The rivalry between Timor and Vale (the Vegeta and Goku analogs of this awesome series) have culminated up to this point, where friendly rivalry becomes an unfortunate blood feud that the cast suffers from, while us, the readers are invested in. Sitterson cuts to the chase and goes all out in this book that by the time readers get to the end of the book, they’ll be stunned in amazement and shock in all the best ways. What a way to wrap up the second installment of this love letter of a series.

Fico Ossio has consistently churned out nothing but stupendous artwork full of fast-paced action, page layouts, and visually nourishing storytelling. Linework is greatly enhanced even further due to the collaborative color work of Ossio and Raciel Avila that make this book worth your bottom dollar alone. Thankfully the writing is just as good as the art and with solid lettering established by Eposito, readers are given a book that delivers on its premise and title. There’s not much that needs to be said other than that other than Image, Dark Horse has some sleeper hits that really are worth checking out, and this series is one of them. Add this to your pull list and if you’ve missed out on the previous issues, get them pronto and catch up. No better time to catch up on a series that is worth a shonen lover’s while.
