The Boxer Vol. 12 ends one fighter’s story while starting a whole new one

As Yu rains down blow after blow on J, one question rings out in his mind–why?

Why was he born into a living hell?

Why did no one save him?

Why is he alive?

With K watching in twisted excitement and Carmen, Injae, and many more watching on in fear, Yu alone has the power to find his answer.

And only J can deliver it unto him.

if he doesn’t die first.

The Boxer Vol. 11 dives further into Yu’s tortured childhood

IS THIS ALL THERE IS TO LIFE?

The dark basement room was all he knew growing up.

Eating the same meal, sleeping on the hard floor, and nursing his wounds day after day after day.

But when an outsider wanders into the boy’s small world, something new trickles into his life–hope.

However, hope is a fickle thing, and as it’s stripped away, the boy from the basement stares down his final opponent inside a boxing ring, nothing left to live for except crushing anyone who stands in his way.

Covering chapters 96 to 102

The Boxer Vol. 10 changes things up and gets philosophical as it debates the meaning of life

How did a man like K become so hellbent on seeing the pinnacle of human superiority? How did a boy like Yu lose the light in his eyes? Two very different paths converged in space and time and led to this very moment―a moment of life and death, human and monster, power and omnipotence. As Yu and Aaron circle the drain, a god may be born…or a life may be taken!

Covering chapters 87 to 95

The Boxer Vol. 9 emphasizes the monster that K is and the monsters he wants to create

Yu has almost conquered the boxing world, and all that’s left is to defeat Aaron Tide and claim the heavyweight belt. But before their long-awaited match, Tide’s sudden retirement throws a wrench in that plan. Despite the setback, K continues to prepare Yu as if the fight will happen. He knows the inner workings of Aaron’s heart ―and he’s sure that this isn’t a battle his former pupil can simply run away from. And a surprise visitor to Aaron’s front doorstep could be the push he needs to enter the ring for one last brawl…

Covering chapters 78 to 86

The Boxer Vol. 8 is another amazing volume with some small flaws

Yu’s bloody beatdown against Fabrizio is interrupted at the end by the appearance of an unexpected guest, the boxer J. This legend is not only making his grand return into the world of boxing, but also to Yu, asking him to remember when they first met. K seethes at the sight of his grand finale ruined, but his line of sight isn’t against J―yet. He wants Yu to challenge his last pupil, and possibly the greatest boxer in the world―Aaron Tide. But before Yu can do that, he must first get through a gauntlet of even more fighters.

Covering chapters 68 to 77

The Boxer Vol. 7 is another amazing entry in a series that gets better with every release

“GET YOUR REVENGE IN THE RING.” Coach K’s words echo in Yu’s ears, the image of Carmen’s unconscious body still fresh in his mind. Dirty tricks had always been a possibility―the Santorinos were known to use underhanded tactics like bribing referees and doping to gain an edge in their matches. But attacking Carmen took things too far…and Yu is going to make Fabrizio pay. When the day of the middleweight championship arrives, the audience quickly realizes they have bought tickets to a showdown between a man and a monster. Yet the true monster may not even be in the ring at all…

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

The Boxer Vol. 7

Wednesdays are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in

Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

Aria of the Beech Forest Vol. 1 (Yen Press) – The first volume is great and a fantastic fantasy series kids will enjoy.

Biker Mice From Mars #1 (Oni Press) – The classic animated series is back as a comic!

The Boxer Vol. 7 (Yen Press/IZE Press) – The amazing series continues with a brutal boxing match that shows us who the true monster is.

Dark Knights of Steel: Allwinter #1 (DC Comics/Elseworlds) – A new fantasy take on classic DC characters. We’re intrigued.

Destro #2 (Skybound) – The first issue was interesting expanding the world of G.I. JOE by showing off even more familiar characters. We’re intrigued to see who else pops up in this first issue.

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #308 (Skybound) – The series has been strong with action, paranoia, and a lot of chess. Add in great artwork and it’s one to not be missed.

The Last Wardens #1 (Mad Cave Studios) – A long-lost brother returns from the Vietnam War and he’s plagued by a mysterious and monstrous mutant and also being hunted!

Man’s Best #5 (BOOM! Studios) – Every issue has been great of this sci-fi series. We’re expecting the finale to be no less.

Namor #1 (Marvel) – Namor has been out of the spotlight for a while and this series feels like it’s going to put him right back in the spotlight with a new take.

Paranoid Gardens #1 (Dark Horse Comics) – Loo is a nurse at the most bizarre care-center in the universe. The staff are not entirely human, and the cases downright unearthly. Aliens, ghosts, superheroes, and more creatures plague its hallways as both doctors and patients and the hospital itself seems to be somewhat self-aware.

The Powerpuff Girls #1 (Dynamite Entertainment) – The classic animated series is back as a comic!

Ultimate X-Men #5 (Marvel) – The series has been fascinating, standing out as a horror take on the classic X-Men.

Witchblade #1 (Top Cow Productions) – It’s been quite a while since the series has been on the shelves and we’re excited to see what this update will bring and change.

Your Letter (Yen Press) – The best thing we’ve read this year.
