Inglorious Rex Volume 3:
Fighting Spirit

Inglorious Rex 3: Fighting Spirit is a 48-page graphic novel by Shane Davis. Rising star MMA fighter Alex Stone steps for the first time into the world of Rex Fighting - where 20 tons of genetically-manipulated clones are hitched to the neural systems of their human pilots, twisted together in no-holds-barred, high-stakes cage fighting.

Now, Alex and his Rex, 232, finds themselves crowned the newest Rex Champion. His path is a rocky one as he struggles with his newfound duty to the city, and it all comes to a head when former girlfriend and fellow Rex Fighter Annatomic challenges him for his title. The stakes cannot be higher, until they find themselves facing the annihilation of their home by a powerful new force. Does he have what it takes to defend the city and protect humanity's future?
