Richard Aldana, the mysterious stranger who entered the Games in the first volume of Last Man, continues to defeat all of his competitors, despite his outlandish refusal to use any magic, and to rely solely on martial arts. With young Adrian fighting at his side, he's beginning to look like a likely contender for the Royal Cup. But in a breathtaking twist, everything changes: this world is not what you thought it was, and Richard Aldana is certainly not who he claimed.
What's strange about this volume is that it doesn't rely on you having read the first two volumes. It sums up what's happened in the story with very quick story elements and believable dialogue. I know I sound mad, but you could read this volume on its own and understand and enjoy every page of it. And I think that's incredible because clearly it's not an accident, but something the creators were aware of. I still recommend reading the first two volumes because they're both great on their own, but if this world sounds more interesting to you then feel free to start here. Otherwise, this is just another really impressive addition to the Last Man series and a bright spot in the dull year that 2015 has been for comics. Read Full Review
