With Belger and Haggar seemingly falling to their doom from the aforementioned villain’s tower, will this be the Mayor’s Final Fight?

The conclusion of the four part Final Fight series wraps things up in a hugely satisfying way, with seemingly endless, impressively chunky widescreen action that takes place across several stunning splash pages. Minor, often forgotten characters from the more obscure Final Fight sequels make welcome appearances, and we get to say hello to a Guy-related character who first appeared in Street Fighter Alpha 2 (though they weren’t playable until Street Fighter V!) too.

It’s all cheerfully silly, over the top fun, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. It took a long time for UDON to get around to adapting Final Fight as its own mini series (the game’s characters have popped up in the publisher’s long running, equally excellent Street Fighter comics), but it was well worth the wait.

Writer Matt Moylan clearly knows his Final Fight, even beyond the first game, which is (in my opinion) the most iconic scrolling beat ’em up of all time. Artist Matthew Weldon’s art is absolutely jaw dropping, and it does such a great job of bringing the familiar characters and settings of the game to life. The entire series has been an absolute love letter to the games, by fans, for fans. And it’s glorious.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got the sudden urge to take on the Mad Gear gang myself.
