Street Fighter Comic - needs you!

[TAS]

Our plan for now is each issue, there will be 3 different covers for the readers to choose from. There will be 2 regular covers, one that will be done by UDON in house artists like Alvin Lee & Arnold Tsang; and one done a guest artist that will be also supplying the art for the back up story (4 to 5 pages length). Issue #2, we sneek in a third regular cover with J Scott Campbell doing the art.

Arent there actually 4 diffrient covers for each issue including the power foil???

The special cover is called Power Foil, which is a full spread holo-foil enhenced printing with high gloss lamination. Each Power Foil cover will feature a single character doing a signature power move. You have seen #1 with Chun Li, #2 with Ken, #3 will be M.Bison (Vega in Japan), #4 Guile doing a Sonic Boom, and #6...... AKUMA!!!!!!!! These nice power foil covers features paintings by Jo Chen (#6's Akuma by Arnold Tsang).

What about #5?

#1 Chun Li
#2 Ken
#3 Bison
#4 Guile
#5 ?
#6 Akuma

Whos number 5, Ryu?

[Leo Sal]

All of the artwork I've seen already is absolutely gorgeous. I was wondering if, say a few years from now, you could put out a massive artbook featuring all of the covers, pin-ups, gag-stories and sketches that appear from the series.

Maybe you could do it for the 20th Anniversary. ;)

SF # 5 will have no Power Foil...... but.......

well... you will see soon.....

First you kept Hyper SF2 from us, and now this...you evil, evil people:p

[AntAu]

udoneko,

Will all Power Foils come out a few weeks after the regular versions (like for this Chun Li one) or will they be coming out at the same time from now on?

[udoneko]

We are still trying to figure out a way to coordinate with Image and the printer to get the Power Foil printed in advance so that it can go out similar time to the regular covers. The tricky part is that we get the initial sales order from Diamond and we have to immediately go to press. That does not give us any lead time as to how many copies of Foil are we going to print (as they are always print to order). Will try my best to adjust them as much as I can. One solution might have to be doing a set limited edition run rather than an open run... but that would limit the amount of copies ordered...

On another note, I just got notified by Image that they have rescheduled SF 2 to 10/15. That is 2 weeks later than the originally planned 10/01. Disappointed, they said the printer has problems opening the files we sent, which are in the exact same format as the first issue.... I have no clue why but I figure I should let you guys know so that you do not have to rush to the store next week...

So, to make up for this unexpected crap, I guess I will tell you great guys and gals here what SF#5 Special cover is about -

It will be a 2 layer Power Cel (clear transparency on card stock) cover featuring Capcom's Shinkiro. It'a a freakin nice super realistic image of Guile and Chun Li!!

We have asked some of the SF artists to work on some special covers and this is the first one that is done! More to come!

[RoninChaos]

That sounds cool as hell. It's really nice to see that somebody cares about the fans. Thanks.

[DarkBuu]

I have always loved street fighter ever since i was little and now the comic is great. I have never really collected comics b4 but i really want to stick with this one. So I wanted to know what is there to collect so far? I have 2 covers for #1(cover A and B) and 1 cover for #0(it has a certificate of authenticity and its a black and white of one of the covers for #1,also it says Dynamic Forces). So am I missing anything? Thanx for any help.

I'm pretty sure these are all the versions out right now (someone correct me if I'm wrong):

Street Fighter #0:
A) Joe Madeira Sketch (Dynamic Forces)
B) Joe Madeira Sketch with Black Foil (Dynamic Forces)
C) San Diego Comic-Con
D) Toronto - Same as Comic-Con but with Turbo colors
E) Wizard World - Akuma Leaping

Street Fighter #1:
A) Arnold Tsang Multi-Character Cover First Printing
B) Joe Mad Cover First Printing
C) Long Vo Second Printing
D) Chun Li Power Foil Incentive
E) Joe Mad Cover with Red Foil (DF)
F) Chun Li Virgin Power Cover (Dynamic Forces)
G) Chun Li Virgin Power Cover Foil Edition (Dynamic Forces)

Are there actually two different versions of the DF Chun-Li cover? DynamicForces.com lists regular and foil versions at different prices.

Street Fighter #2 (coming October 15th):
3 regular covers
Power Foil with Ken

I was also trying to collect all the covers but I gave up because it was costing me too much.

[DarkBuu]

Is each issue gonna have so many covers? I had no idea there were that many.

[udoneko]

I think what Dynamic FOrces means on the Foil Chun Li is the same as the Incentive Power Foil. Because I am sure there is no such thing as the Virgin Foil Chun Li with Foil.

And the DF Foil Logo Joe Mad cover is exactly the same as the regular one only with Red Foil on the logo.

There is actually a hidden one that may or may not be important to you guys - the newsstand edition. It bears the same cover as the Arnold Tsang multi character cover, except it DOES NOT have the "Cover B" at the Image Logo, the CDN Cover price is 4.50 instead of 4.10 (this is due to the policy that newssatnd books need a constant price while the direct market ones will change depending on that month's exchange rate), and a different bar code. Those are going thru a very limited newsstand distribution (only 4000 copies or so printed) and I am not sure which news stand carries it....

Other stuff to look for -

GamePro Sepptember issue has a special insert preview.
GamePro October has an exclusive Sagat 4 page short story (I think it is still on the stands for this week before they switch to the November issue next week?).

We have made one postcard and 2 posters for promo purpose. The post card bears the image of the San Diego SF#0 cover, as well as promo poster #1. Promo poster #2, what I called the "SF Gets MAD!" poster, features the Joe MAD art as the main focus with all other covers of issue 1 & 2 on it.

Newtype USA Magazine, the November Anniversary issue, will be featuring a 4 page exclusive Cammy VS Dee Jay story!

[DarkBuu]

I think it would be great if someone kept an updated list of what books there are and links to pics for each cover, this would be great for someone like me who wants to collect all of them.

Waaay too good.

What's Bengus' real name? If you guys get him to do something I'll tattoo "Udon Rules" on my left ass cheek. Unfortunately, however, it'll be adjacent to the "Kriss Kross Is Life" tattoo I got on my right ass cheek back in '91.

---

If you bring in Street Fighter artists to do covers and things you should profile them somwhere in the issue. Mentioning the SF games they've worked on, characters they've designed (if any),etc.

Always a great source of information for us obsessed Street Fighter fans. I'll have to pick up that Newtype when it hits stores. Can someone tell me what was contained in the September GamePro preview? I got the October one but not the one for September.

Capcom Employee (Old and New) Cover Wish List!

1. Bengus
2. Akiman/CRMK
3. Senri Kita
4. Kinu Nishimura
5. Shoei
6. Harumaru
7. Anyone else I'm forgetting...

As for special back up stories, it would be cool if we could see work (Or maybe just covers) of some of the famous SF Manga Artists!

1. Masahiko Nakahira
2. Itoh Mami
3. Masaomi Kanzaki
4. I'd have to look up his name, but the Artist who did that kick Ass SF2V Manga!

You've already made me happy with Shin. doing cover #5 and Kia Asamiya doing a back up story in # 3. I swear you guys are more dedicated to Street Fighter than Capcom is. Keep up the good work!

[Ultima]

What's with all these damn variant covers? Isn't this what helped kill the comic market in the 90s? WHY are we going through this for such a new (to comics, relatively) and untested commmodity?

[TiamatRoar]

Yea, this large amount of different covers kinda seems to be getting out of hand, here...

[TAS]

7. Anyone else I'm forgetting...

Edayan.

The guy who did the art for

Rival Schools/Project Justice
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo Revival

Also like to see Falcoon do a cover (or at least a back up story)

Falcoon's site (WARNING THERE IS NUDITY IN SOME PICS)

http://falcoon.hp.infoseek.co.jp/index.html

[kingofkod]

yeah the multiple cover thing is pretty lame. A holofoil for the first one shoulda been all they made i think. The 2 covers for each issue is really kinda annoying to me too but it's not that bad. Heh back in the day holofoil was for #1's and special cool issues and stuff, now they seem to be spamming them again like the early 90s.

[MegaZangief]

I really like the multiple covers, but I just wish there was like an official listing of all the different covers. Plus it is kind of hard to get all the covers, right now I am struggling to find the SF #1 Red Foil Cover... But keep up the good work, I am VERY pleased with your performance.

[AntAu]

I would love the multiple covers idea if I could afford to collect all of them but I'm a teenager without a regular job during the school year and I can't afford to spend eighty bucks on different versions of the same two comics. Honestly, it kinda makes you more reluctant to get into the series as you already feel like you're missing out on something from the very start. As a whole, I'm very excited about the future issues but I'm only gonna be buying one of the two covers each month and a few power foils that I really like (can't wait for that Akuma). Keep up the good work.

[guado]

at my local comic store they had 3 different versions of issue #1 (thats the only on curently out right?) they were selling 3 kinds one of guile chun-li kn and ryu on the cover, a red foil and one more (my mom picked it up for me because i was at the doctors so she didn't discribe the third) she said one was 3 bucks one was 8 and the other was 12. i just got the cheapest one (im kindda a penny pincher) so i think it was just the standard one and it is a second print (says on the basck). do the other versions have extra stuff with them or is it just a different cover. and does issue 2 come out on the 5th, 15th or is it already out? thx

There's actually more covers than that. Two first prints, the red foil, the second printing, the DF chun-li, power foil chun-li, and the newstand version. All should be exactly the same besides the cover. Issue 2 will be out on the 15th.

[k_dog77803]

The thing that sucks is that I cant find the regular cover at any store. My local comic book store only have the alternate covers which sucks cause I really want the normal cover (that one has Elena on it!):(

Unfortunately, it seems that almost all the first printing of issue #1 has been sold out. You can try looking for the Newstand Edition, which has the exact same 50 Character cover as the regular cover.

And Elena will be on the cover B of issue 3 by Kevin Lau.

Issue 3 is originally scheduled with a guest cover and back up by Kia Asamiya. However, due to health problems, Asamiya Sensei has to postpone his schedule and we are replacing his story and cover with a NEW back up and cover by the much talented Kevin Lau. You will see KEN VS Zangief in this 5 page back up. And Kevin did a all girls cover!

[udoneko]

Check out the SF#3 cover art:

Cover A by Alvin Lee & Ramil Sunga! (http://www.d-boy.com/sfpreview/sf03covA.jpg)

No Kia Asamiya in Issue 3? Ah well, the other covers look good too. I hope Asamiya gets well soon.

Juni and Juli continue their proud tradition of still taking up the least amount of space in a group pic combined.

Yes, Joe Mad is still alive, and he is doing a BACK UP STORY on top of that cover you see for issue #1.

There might be online stores that carry them. But we will not be setting up a store to actually sell each issue because that will directly compete with the retail shops and history tells us that those guys wont like that...

Thanks!

I purchased issue #1 and I love it. Please keep up the good work.

Hmm... it's kinda wierd seeing Delta Red Cammy on all these covers when she's still Shadaloo Cammy in the storyline. Understandable that the artists would want to draw her more, though (she seems universally more popular overall than the Shadaloo version).

Hey ShinMilkManX

I noticed that your icon has Yellow from Robotech/Mospeada on. You know that we are currently working on a new Robotech Comic series that will feature Yellow as the main character? Amano will be doing covers for that too!!

Sweet! I love that Kevin Lau cover!:D I hope I have better luck finding that cover.

And I'll keep looking for the Newstand Edition of #1.

[verbel]

When is issue 2 supposed to be released?

[Sano]

chimitaru - Juli is a Brunette and Juni is blonde.

About Juli, will she be portrayed as a member of T.Hawk's tribe or will she be German? It doesn't bother me too much either way, as long as we get to see the other 10 Dolls at some point.

Mospeada/New Generation is my favorite Robotech Story Arc. I was a huge Rand fan and since I saw that entire Arc before the other two, it was probably one of my first exposures to Anime. I haven't been to thrilled with Robotech Comic Adaptations so far so I hope your adaptaion will make me see the light, so to speak.

I don't know, maybe for this comic that's true but a LOT of the Japanese fanart and doujinshi art I've seen usually involves Cammy in her Shadaloo outfit (unless it was done before her first appearance in said outfit). It seems that Delta Red Cammy is more popular in North America, but Shadaloo Cammy is more popular in Japan. Go figure.

[TiamatRoar]

In Capcom's favorite character poll, it's Delta Red Cammy that's ranked up near the top while Shadaloo Cammy's pretty far down.

[LiquiTed]

Yeah....when is issue 2 released . I was assuming it was this past week but even the local comics store doesn't know when it will be out . I've finally picked up all 0 variants but still need one more 1st variant but so far I love this comic . the story-line is mediocre but the artwork more than makes up for it....keep up the good work .

On a side note....I picked up a copy of megaman 1 at the comic shop and noticed on the back cover an ad for upcoming Darkstalker and Rival Schools comics to be released.......

[k_dog77803]

Hey udoneko I'm sorry if you have already talked about this but I dont really feel like going thru 20 pages of posts. Will every SF character get their very own limited foil cover at some point? Or will it only be the uber popular characters that get foil covers?

[guado]

where can somebody find a copy of issue 0?

Thats cool. I am a bit of a Mospeada purist though so I will look before I commit to them. If the story is cool and not over Robotechified I might grab those.

Do you think your going to add a fanart section, like how some other comics do, like a page within the comic for fan stuff. It would be nice to see some stuff like t-shirts, keychain and etc....
Well, the comic has been really good so far, keep up the good work.....

At your local comic shop
Ebay
Mile High Comics
Dynamic Forces

The list goes on.

- Everyone Else

I saw all the SF#4 covers today, and I'll try to upload them later (they all look really cool)

I also saw the Kia Asaymi Chun Li cover for issue #3, but I guess that wont be coming out till Kia gets better, or finishes the back up story (which is about Ryu and Ken training)

where i live street fighter really ain't dat popular, mostly sports here so i won't find it in any local shop near bridgeport but ill try ebay (y didn't i think think of this:confused: ) but is there a website wher i can get it from DIRECTLY.

[Zamuel]

The comic store I go to got only one DF SF#0 and went straight to me with it on Wed. 20% discount for me!!! I too hope that some of the foils do some of the lesser characters. I can't really afford the foils--and I think the M.Bison and Guile are sorta average--but I will jump to get one of T.Hawk, Juli+Juni, or nearly anyone from the SF3 games.

I won't really miss not having Kia on and as much as I like Chun and Cam, I'm not looking forward to Adam Warren either. I do wish the man good luck in getting healthier, though. I like this new cover though R.Mika is looking a tad suggestive and Makoto was left out.

And I too want to see a fan art section. Letters, too.

Its not a foil cover, its just a cover of Chun Li doing a kick, and the backround behind her is all white.

Why don't a couple of you guys that have kept good track of everything that's happened with this comic write a FAQ? Maybe TAS or TiamatRoar or AntAu? Just write up the basic stuff about how many covers there are, who the artists are, what happened to the Kia Asamiya cover that was supposed to come out with issue #2, when each issue shipped, and so on.

It's not at all difficult to find hosting for a 3K document but i'll be glad to host it. Then whenever someone has a question, just say "Read the FAQ" ... that's how we handle things in #gamecombos and it's mostly been working out.

There already is a Thread in the Fan Fiction Section here at SRK discussing the Comic Book Storyline created by BBCampbell himself.

As long as your in the Fan Fic Section, read my CFAS Fan Fic! Another shameless plug... Maybe someone at Dreamwave will read my Fic and learn how to handle Megaman correctly!

[Maj]

Yeah but most of the repeat questions asked here aren't about the storyline. They are about technical details and keeping track of everything. I was thinking more of a collector's FAQ so that serious collectors could know what they are missing and that casual readers could get an idea of what everything is without having to research it for days.

I was considering doing one as I've already spent alot of time looking up information on all the different versions. Too bad I realized that there was no way I'd be able to afford to collect all of them. I'll see how much time I get over the next few days to throw something together.

this isn't true, as a comic book geek, i know. the one with chun li kicking is
a) 2nd print
b) has a background of other characters.
as for the foil chun li book, it is fucking cool, i have it and the regular non foil chun li cover. but the foil is badass fo sho.

also, is anybody looking for a Street Fighter 1 Joe Madureira Cover Red Foil Dynamic Forces variant cover?

Any chance that Makoto could be added to the SF#3 cover considering it is "all girls" and Makoto is missing? She doesn't have to be huge (actually I don't expect her to be and still fit)

He's not talking about the one you mentioned. The Asimiya one is for issue #3 and it DOES have Chun Li kicking. Go to a comic store and try to look at last month's "Previews" guide.

edit: I hope I didn't sound harsh with how I worded that...

[udoneko]

I am not sure who to talk to about this... Majestro's PM box is full... so I figure I will post here to see what you guys think -

We are to update the SF site in the next 2 weeks. Our first version of the site, while looks good, is too much of a pain to update. So for the last month or so, I have been working with our web guys Kenneth and Calvin to get the site streamlined and it is almost ready to launch.

We are gonna have a interactive section, where we would want to possibly include a forum. Given that I vist here often, and we are all here already, I do not feel right that we are to start a new forum and everyone has to jump around 2 places to check things out, repost different stuff here and there, etc.

How about if you guys are kind enough to do a SF Comic section in the SRK board, we will make it the official SF Comic Forum here?

Then that way, there will be more room for different topics and FAQ and stuff. Coz right now, the only active thread here about the comic is thi sone, and it is getting very hard to find the info needed bcoz its getting to be a 21 page "everything goes here" thread.

[Maj]

Hrm, interesting idea. I'll see what i can do and get back to you tonight. Dealt with PM box btw. Sorry about that.

I like it. Talk with inkblot.

[inkblot]

Ta da. Udoneko, let me know if you want a different description, or whatever.

[northernlight]

Zamuel, no it doesn't sound harsh, haha. but anyway, someone mentioned the chun li foil, and someone else said it wasn't a foil, so i just assumed they were talking about the #1 issue. but i guess they were both talking about different issues. i know of the chun li kicking one, with the white and sky blue background. but when they said it wasn't a foil, it was just chun li kicking, i assumed THAT person meant the 2nd print of the first one, which is also chun li kicking (though not AT the reader, like the issue #3). :D

[guado]

does anybody have a pic of the sf#2 covers also are thier any plans to re-release or relese another cover like the 50 character one that was my favorite but i was only able to snagg a 2nd printing cover

[chimitaru]

could any of you post me a link to the new chattting headquarters i still havent been able to find my way through this site. udoneko will all the other dolls of cammy be appearing in sf and i just saw previews to street fighter 2 and my cammy well "killer bee" has a whole page and a half to herself thankyou udoneko!!!!!!!!!:D :D

[SFMC]

[HaiDuongRiceMan]

[SagaraSousuke]

I must say that I'm impressed with the artwork for SF. The fight sequences in issue one really captured the feeling of the SF anime(movie not tv). Ken's kicks in particular impressed me the most as it was dead on to his sprite.

[chimitaru]

streetfighter 2 was much better than the first one but it seems like streetfighter can only get better and better.

[Puss Puss]

What do the covers of issue #3 look like? We have #4. but no #3?

[SFMC]

Dude i just raided my comic shop like 2 weeks ago to tell them to order more sf comics and I think it worked. That and me and my buddies hounded them by calling through phone also. We took turns so I guess it worked.

[antant]

sorry if someone has already asked about this, I wasn't patient enough to read through 23+ pages of forum.

Anyway here's my question, is there a plan to make a graphic novel of the street fighter saga once the comic story line is completed...

AND any chance there will be an artbook showcasing the sketches and covers of the various artists participating ?

Image comics doesn't do subcribttions. It's one of the drawbacks to independant publishing. Personally I would'nt rather have another studio or publisher.

If your lucky you can have a local book shop hold the title for you. Most of the good ones I know of do it (not huge stores). I think you should at the very least be able to call your local store and have them pull an ish or two.

[=dave=]

- does anyone how to get a 1 page ad in an issue of a street fighter comic book?

- also, i wanted to point out that i bought several copies of 0 and 1 and after going through them decided not to continue with this series. i simply didnt believe the quality of the artwork and storyline were up to par with other series. perhaps it's simply too much of the same old thing. anyways, not trolling, just speaking my mind.

[Jahnli]

I can't believe it - here I am doing my humdrum thang at Wall Street, a respectable member of the rat race, when I decide to duck into my local comic store due to rain. I see this Holo of Ken on the stands and I'm like WHAT?? I decide to give the series a try (they had a cheapo version of #2 and a 2nd printing of #1 there, bought em both) and I'm very pleased! It really brought back the memories of my SFII:CE days, taking quarters from the chumps out there for hours with Chun li, and facing down my nemesis, Dolphin Man, and his damn Guile-flash kick! I wonder if Dolphin Man still wears that stupid Miami Dolphins leather jacket out there somewhere. Anyhow, I just found out that there is a Holo of Chun Li for the #1 ish, so I'm off to EBay. I Googled Jo Chen and found this site, so thanks Udon for bringing me back to the SF fold. Long live Chun Li's cheap flying knee!

[udoneko]

Hey Jahn Li!

I am glad that you give our book a try and you like what you see! We will do our best to keep up the quality and not let you down!

[ltron2020]

since there is now indy hero clix, there should be street fighter hero clix!!!!!!!

Is there any chance you could get Jim Lee for a guest aritist of Scott Cambell? And what about a Thanks Giving Cover or a X-mas cover. Thanks

[TAS]

Is there any chance you could get Jim Lee for a guest aritist of Scott Cambell? And what about a Thanks Giving Cover or a X-mas cover. Thanks

There's already a thread about the guest artists and artists people wanna see titled "Guest Artists"

Udoneko mentioned that he wanted Jim Lee do a cover and back up story (but thats all he said)

You can probaly expect Campbell to do one too (now that he's done a cover)

And I doubt there will be a Thanksgiving or Christmas cover, considering that last months issue #2 was the November issue, and #3 which comes out really soon will be the December issue, and we've already seen all the variant covers up to (and including) #5

[UFOff]

Hello Udon,

just wanted to say, "Great Job!" with the new series. Looks to be pretty interesting and the art is excellent.

Glad to see that it looks like all the characters aren't equal fighters. I mean, it's nice to see that Vega completely destroyed Honda in that match in #2, and it didn't end in a lame draw or something. Even if I was a Honda fan I would have liked it, I think. It's a weird thing to be appreciative of, but I guess I just have too much Avengers/JLA on the brain.

Speaking of crossovers, will there be one with Street Fighter/ something else? In a world that's produced Archie/Punisher, anything is possible.

P.S. Sorry if it's been asked before, just haven't had time to read the whole thread.

[guado]

hey anybody know whats going on, no stores that i visited today or called are stocking cover A. whats the deal?

[Hellspawn]

No prob. I'm the reasone that my store has SF. I make em' get all the noice covers too. 10$ but its damn worth it. And I'm glad there is a comic forum here, now I can talk about an other one of my passions.

[[cRimS0m_[FiSt]]

anyone actually got the street fighter comics that r done by capcom? the one dat came out a while ago? i can't find it anywhere in my town.

[Seifer Reilly]

New here.... but anyways i think i got the street fighter comic made by capcom... but im also wondering if they should make a King Of Fighters comic.... that would be sweet!

[nortlee]

Street Fighter Comic - needs you!
Dear friends -

I wanna say thank you on giving us all the support and input on the Street Fighter project! This is a rare time that I would actually need your help!

The initial order numbers of SF #1 just came in, and the amount the comic retailers has put in is UNREALISTICALLY LOWER than we expect.... I have to say, if these are the final sale numbers, we might not be able to keep this alive for much too long....

The state of comic book retail nowadays is not healthy. I am pretty sure that with these numbers, this book will get sold out very soon. And a lot of people who wants the book will miss out on it. Yes, it will become an instant collectible like the SF#0 and become hot on EBAY, but that is not going to help in the long run. I want to make sure everyone who wanted a copy can get it a the cover price. The problem here seems that the Comic Book Shop Owners do not have confidence in this project.

We have to understand that the past track record of SF books has not been good. So the store owners are not willing to order more books on a SF title. So, we have to tell them this time, it is different. This time, we are doing a REAL book that fans (including ourselves at UDON!) would be proud of holding a copy in our hand. Here is where you guys comes in.

PLEASE call all you local stores and tell them you want to see the SF book. Tell your friends to do it! Tell every SF fan out there to go to their local store to reserve a copy. Retailers normally only get enough for their pull list nowadays and they won't order too many extras. So we gotta tell them what we need to give them confidence in this title!

If you need the number for your local shop, call toll free 1-888-COMIC-BOOK (1-888-266-4226) to find one!

Thanks!

Many months later...
It didn't sell as much as expected?
I'm guessing that has probably changed now, I barely managed to get #2, & I had to get #1 off eBay as it had sold out everywhere.
Things must have improved a lot, the comics seem to sell out within 2 days in my area so I have to keep them on reserve. BTW excellent job with the SF comics I love em, I collect the holofoil covers (Cover C's).

Great job

:cool:

[Liger]

Damn my unlucky soul, some guy had SF #0 w/ the certificate, the cover which Joe Mad had Sketched (Fan of J.Mad!! and his art work with the match between ryu vs sagat was the sh!t) and other comics w/ diff covers for just 50 bucks but unfortunately i was broke.:bluu:

I dunno but I don't think so I thought Udoneko said sales were ok & they're already working on the 2nd arc which will start either next month or May I think.
Don't start making me worry man lol.

[Dr_Nick_Riviera]

ok that is good to hear.

[osamado]

Yeah, Street fighter is too good to be cancelled. I think only an idiot could cancel that title. All too good.

[Cho]

BWA HA HA *overly loud laugh*

Sorry, just expressing my happiness at this rather enjoyable comic. So downright groovy is this comic I get it even though it's an whole ocean away and comic stores are a rarity when you live in a small town - and almost as rare when ya staying in a city.

Yep, I read the thing over here in Ye old England (known mostly as England), and I've somehow managed to get every episode/comic without suscribing so far (though that will change soon I hope - the suscribtion thing - not the getting them all thing).

I first saw the Street fighter comic at Otakon when I was visiting some friends. My word it was a huge surprise to see it there, I hadn't even got a glimpse of rumours or even hinted at one may be in the works when BAM I had one of the best looks into Ryu Vs Ryu I had hoped to see. I also got to see some sketches of Sagat training with memories of Ryu haunting him but I never saw what became of them which was a shame. From then on I was hooked. I nearly had to kill to keep getting my hands on the comic but so far so good! No deaths - all the comics!

*laughs loudly again*

Of all the things that plesantly surprised me it was the inclusion of the Cheap Shots one page comics. They certainly were a welcomed addition and I hope they continue to be part of the comic. I will note though - Zangief didn't appear on the front of the Street Fighter Alpha 3 game box over here - but eh, small details like that don't mean a thing. Thankfully only three cars have been destroyed by me before I relised I wasn't getting points. Luckily I was helping in a Car Dump so no one complained. *chuckles*

While the art may now and then differ throughout the comic its never been anything less then cool and certainly always lookslike who its meant to. I hope you continue to do such a great tribute to my favorite game series which I'm sure you will if these 7 issues (including 0) show your passion for the series.

-A Happy chappy and content customer.

[HadoJosh]

I am really tired of hearing people say that the SF comic will get cancelled.

[SpanishNinja]

I'm pretty sure these sketches you're talking about made it into a small colour comic in a GamePro or EGM or Nintendo Power. I happened upon it over at the library a couple months ago. I can't remember what magazine or issue it was... I could probably find out, it's probably still over there...

[Motoki Imawano]

i just purchased my first couple of street fighter comics. the art is SICK. i will be buying everyone i see. i could only buy issue 4 and 6 yesterday because thats all the store had. but whenever i see the rest i will get them. i'm definitely collecting these.

[AAAhmed46]

I love street fighter! Im gonna keep buying it. Though i dont want street fighter to be cancelled, i also believe that it should not be ongoing(with a predetermined ending)

But i love this ceries.

[KSWakizashi]

WOW, over here in the Uk we have only just had our first street fighter comic released, and i have to say it is nothing short of amazing, i have purchased the first and when the rest get released (if ever) i will buy them the second they catch my eye :cool: :D :) :p :lol:

[DJ-B13]

I have bought like evreryone,

Every cover i could get, Only missing some power foils and the #0 issures.

Either then that i got all of them and i bought like 3 of each so i could save for later and sell to those who need them :).

Keep up the soog GOOD work and i lovehow the girls look hehehe *^_^*

Eh, I didn't know where to post this so I just put it on the sticky.

I saw a pic on a SF Comic collection vol.1 but there was no info on it. I was wondering when I can expect it in stores and for around how much. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

[The V]

The trade paper back is already in stores. It was released about a month or so ago. The cover price is about $9.99 American. It is digest sized and collects issues 0-6, but does not include the back-up stories.

Hope that helps.

[Jiorn]

It does help.

Thanks.

[SF Gimp]

My local shops in Derby selling loads o SF comics, they're selling alot and I think I'm probably the main prat buying them up but the y are genuinly going well with other comic geeks n nerds.

If your concerned their aint no market for them, what about all the other crap weird asses comics they sell, I thought no one would buy that shite, so if they're selling stuff like that, then surely SF will do all right!

[Capcom fan!]

I have supporting the street fighter comic series since it first started.I have all issues plus issue 0 and i will continue to support it till it ends.Plus if you are looking for all issues of the street fighter comic go here.www.comic-central.com

[AceKiller]

I just ordered issues 7,8,and 9 from herofix. Can't wait to get them :D

[zen azazel]

a month ago (when I realized there was a SF comic out there) I ordered every single issue :) now I cant wait for

1. Eternal Challenge
2. issue 10

[ChunKLiLover]

I think theyre doing well here in the UK....maybe coz they're harder to get hold of!!!

I myself have every issuse and practically every cover done of each issue!! ( Is that a bit over the top?? )

Every now and then something comes along that re-kindles the passion you had for something as a kid.....
I think Street Fighter has done it for me!!!
I loved the game when I was younger and i have been waiting for a comic series to do it justice!!! UDON have certainly done that and theyve managed to make people forget the absolute shit series from the past!! ( Does anyone remember mailbu's comics of street fighter...I am glad that got cancelled after so many issues coz it sucked!!! )

Cheer UDON and keep up the good work!!! :clap:

[rab_uk]

yeah, they do seem harder to get here in the UK, i was trying to get some issue 10's with the cool gatefold cover for afew of my mates, and even the forbiden planet store in edinburgh was runnin short on that cover just days after the comics release...and yeah, udon are doin great, the malibu street fighter comic a while back sucked, although there was a not bad colour manga released in britain which i got afew issues of a looong time ago

oh, i have eternal challenge , the japanese version, and although i cant understand jack shit about the text :) it is chock a block with mind blowing illustrations, for every street fighter game, really comprehensive, fantastic stuff, worth every penny.....i've seen jap one in forbiden planet stores in UK for about 35 bucks, but if there's an english one coming out soon then maybe its worth waiting for if u dont already have it

[ChunKLiLover]

yeah, they do seem harder to get here in the UK, i was trying to get some issue 10's with the cool gatefold cover for afew of my mates, and even the forbiden planet store in edinburgh was runnin short on that cover just days after the comics release..

Well if you ever need to get hold of any drop me a line.....
I trade in a lot of collectables and Ive recently been buying in lots of Street Fighter Stuff for the USA.....to sell on to the wanting Uk market!

Yo, that was real cool of Erik Ko to come around to these forums. I'm not really buying the comics but i just might start now. That Ko dude is pretty cool.

[chimitaru]

actually vega wasnt trying to rape eliza, he was trying to kill her than ken interfer.:mad:


no, it was hinted that he was trying to rape her then kill her he even had her on the bed and was slowly removing her garmens!

[Hero Ninja]

I want to get into the comics because i seen the comics and they are drawn damn good and for the endings of Cap fighting evo they were drawn my udon and they looked kick ass, and another thing was that i have a great framed street fighter print and it was made by udon and i didn't know or didn't look who the company was. So i want to get the comics but but question is difference between 1a 1b etc only the comic cover?

[The V]

So i want to get the comics but but question is difference between 1a 1b etc only the comic cover?

Yeah, the only differences are the covers. The interiors are the same across covers.

[TacticalNoir]

I´m not sure if this is the appropiate place to ask this, anyway:
I live in sweden, and when I visited a comic store that specialize in selling comics from America I found the sf comic book. Volume one.
I guess this is a collection of the first issues of the sf comic made by Udon.
Since the store where I bought the comic is very far away from where I live (in another city), I rarely get the chance to visit it (I´m not even sure if I can find it again).

So I have a two questions:
1: Is Volume 2 out yet? If so do you know any online store where I can order it?

2: If volume 2 is not out, do you know any online stor where I can order the separate issues?

I really enjoyed the comic, especially the artwork. It really feels that it do the sf series justice.

[udoneko]

Volume 2 is coming in March 2005, that will collect the mail stories from #7 to 14. You would like to pick up the individual issues if you want to get the back up stories by various guest artists. One of the places you wanna check is www.herofix.com

We also did Darkstalkers, which is another game from Capcom, so be sure to check that out first.

[ParryAll]

Hey UDON guy. Make the comics available to order from your website.

[Jiorn]

Hey UDON guy. Make the comics available to order from your website.

Seriously.

My only (local) comic store has issue 12 as their latest. But I see at http://www.ruppsworld.com that not only 13 & 14 are out, but vol 2. TP as well. Nedless to say, that sucks. So I wanna buy the TP's and Eternal Challenge but Rupps is out of TP2. Pooh. And I sure as hell don't wanna pay shipping from 2 sites.

Even if it cost extra cash I'd buy it straight from Udon, cuz you guys are the reason my favortie video game story is being played out so beautifully. I don't even like fiction, but I wanna spend cash on getting these books so I can read them over and over. You guys gotta make it more accessible.

But even if you don't, I'm still gonna search for, and buy, these books. Just figured it would be better for you guys to sell them to the public.

Thanks for all the good work. And thanks for coming to this site and listening to us.

EDIT: Shit. I hope Udoneko still comes to this site. :rofl:

[Spider-Man]

Are we still able to buy back issues? We don't have a local comic shop here, I have to drive for an hour to the closest train station, catch a train for two hours to the city, walk for an hour from the train station to the comic shop, only to be told by the old lady who works there that she's never heard of Street Fighter.

That's why you have to call ahead. Or order it through previews magazine ... or online ... ebay works too.

[logisamax]

[rob_keys]

Hey UDON guy. Make the comics available to order from your website.

[RoboGem II]

I just bought 2 of the goddamn graphic novels today and let me tell you I'm rather dissapointed. Dissapointed in the fact that I gotta wait awhile for the next one to come out :(

They're great, keep up the good work! Damn nice finally to see Streetifighter actually have a working plotline for a change.

[udoneko]

Why dont you get it from ruppsworld.com or herofix.com ? I know Herofix still have most of the books in cover price....

Dear friends -

I wanna say thank you on giving us all the support and input on the Street Fighter project! This is a rare time that I would actually need your help!

The initial order numbers of SF #1 just came in, and the amount the comic retailers has put in is UNREALISTICALLY LOWER than we expect.... I have to say, if these are the final sale numbers, we might not be able to keep this alive for much too long....

The state of comic book retail nowadays is not healthy. I am pretty sure that with these numbers, this book will get sold out very soon. And a lot of people who wants the book will miss out on it. Yes, it will become an instant collectible like the SF#0 and become hot on EBAY, but that is not going to help in the long run. I want to make sure everyone who wanted a copy can get it a the cover price. The problem here seems that the Comic Book Shop Owners do not have confidence in this project.

We have to understand that the past track record of SF books has not been good. So the store owners are not willing to order more books on a SF title. So, we have to tell them this time, it is different. This time, we are doing a REAL book that fans (including ourselves at UDON!) would be proud of holding a copy in our hand. Here is where you guys comes in.

PLEASE call all you local stores and tell them you want to see the SF book. Tell your friends to do it! Tell every SF fan out there to go to their local store to reserve a copy. Retailers normally only get enough for their pull list nowadays and they won't order too many extras. So we gotta tell them what we need to give them confidence in this title!

If you need the number for your local shop, call toll free 1-888-COMIC-BOOK (1-888-266-4226) to find one!

Thanks!


Mr. Ko

I am an avid buyer of SF and have been pre-ordering since issue #6. You have my blade and my cooperation.

I am shocked really. For a series that follows the games well, SF should be on the demand side of the track.

sfdevotion...in the words of Mr. Ko at CN,"this is our mission! "

...you live in Sauga?! I bug the guys at Stadium in B-town for it...also the S3 series of SF figures

Mr. KO:
The SF comic is excellent. All of your teams hard work really shows, the art is exceptional and the story is very true to the canon (I have a lot of the canon memorized if that's any indicator to the degree of my SF obsession:lol:)

I hope that you eventually make an SF3 story. The characters are very undeveloped canon-wise, which I feel gives you guys a lot of freedom to take them wherever you feel like taking them.

You keep making them, I'll keep buying them:tup:

Hey again, Erik:
As stated above: UDON's SF story-telling is hot. This is so canon, it is religious to Capcom's world of warriors tale. Fan-fiction at its finest. Even your explanation of the two sides of street fighter at the Anime Expo on your homegrounds made so much sense. You and Keith handled the crowd well. Especially that Ken-lover. Ewwww!!!!

Still crying over the Akuma print I turned down. Mom would have said it was from the devil and burn it to ashes if I hung it on my wall. Still, I got the SF: Eternal Challenge and Ken's signature on the books I thought were top teir.

I hope UDON continues upto SF 3 at least. So many questions unanswerd and Siu Chong's crew seems to be the chosen ones to answer them. BTW, how did you feel about Street Fighter II : The Animated Movie?

I'm getting em all at Cartoon Kingdom baby! Darkstalkers too, aint no ship gonna sail past dis retailer...SHIN-SHORYUKEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!

[hellhound]

Hi UDON. Other than street ifghter, darkstalkers, and rival schools what other comic titles are you doing or plan to get into?

[gabrielzero]

Now that Udon is leaving SRK , whats going to happen to the SF comics ? Are they going to stop being made ?

[nortlee]

SRK doesn't own the SF licence, he just left SRK is all.

[martinitolove]

Udon should make a Forum Page on Udon.com and banish everyone they are not comfortable posting there...

really! I'm in!
