Fullmetal Alchemist Volume 24 by Hiromu Arakawa
The battle in Central City really heats up as Major General Armstrong takes over the Presidential Palace. The only problem is that the Fuhrer-President, King Bradley, has just returned from his apparent death in a train wreck many issues ago (of course, his body wasn't found which is a major tipoff to anyone who's read much adventure fiction). All the battles in town merge at the Palace as the heroes gather there. Some heroes are underneath the Palace where the "father" of the homunculi (which includes King Bradley) is preparing for a huge sacrifice that will give him great power (at the cost of the city's citizens).
The action is more or less non-stop in this issue. The return of the king is exciting as he leads a counter-assault to take the palace from our heroes. By the end, the Day of Reckoning ritual seems to start, which could spell the end for the good guys or the bad guys. I can't wait to read more.
Highly recommended.
