Review: Fire Punch vol. 3

By Dustin Cabeal

Fire Punch has been a bit of a rollercoaster. I know that’s cliché as fuck, but that is the best way to describe the giant ups and downs of the series. The first volume was amazing in what it set up and how it was executed. A character with regenerative powers being lit on fire by a man whose flames will only extinguish with death.

Review: Fire Punch vol. 2

By Dustin Cabeal

The first volume of Fire Punch was one of the weirdest, graphic manga I have ever read. Following Agni, a “blessed” person with the ability to regenerate, his sister and town are struck down by a holy crusade and another “blessed” named Doma. Doma’s ability is to set things on fire, and his flame won’t extinguish until it’s out of fuel. This puts Agni in a difficult position as he regenerates quickly. After years and years, he learns how to regenerate in a way that he can function and begins walking to find Doma… to kill him.

Review: Fire Punch vol. 1

By Dustin Cabeal

I judged Fire Punch by its cover… and the name. Even as a reviewer, as someone that’s constantly surprised by the things he reads, I still judge books by their cover. The thing I have going for me is that I don’t stop there, and still give it a shot. Sometimes I’m right; sometimes I’m wrong. I always want to be wrong, and I’m glad to say that in the case of Fire Punch, I was very wrong.
