I'll preface this with a warning: I'm not a huge comic guy. I read a handful every year and am pretty selective.

The art is, in a word, astounding. Oozing with style and flair, this book has its own unique aesthetic that helps to flesh out the world.

I've seen complaints that there isn't enough story or whatever, but honestly, the art does a lot of the heavy lifting to establish the world and characters. That's probably the way it should be. No exposition dumps or anything like that.

The story isn't going to appeal to everyone, as you'll see from the reviews. This isn't the tale of our heroes saving the world; they already did all that and this is what happens after. This is what happens when, as the title implies, there's no one left to fight. What do heroes do when they aren't needed anymore?

They start families, try to be normal, try to integrate into the world that loves them but doesn't understand them. Or brood and contemplate these questions while unsure of what comes next.

I love stories like this and always will, so I'm always more receptive to authors looking to tell different stories from the norm. The shonen jump style and influences are clear, as well. So yeah.
