destdest 's review for:

Underground, Volume 1: Fight Club by JR De Bard, Saturday AM
3.0
adventurous tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Artwork is beautiful in a gritty way; Bard is very talented. Medical terminology, mixed martial arts, and boxing terms are woven throughout the story in a way that’s understandable and seamless.

The opening of this story is so ridiculous. It's like your typical shounen anime on steroids with how quickly things go from 0 to 100.

We’ve seen this underdog rising through the ranks story before many times, but it wasn’t boring. The major plot elements were established quickly. I would read volume 2, but I'm not personally invested in the premise.
