Product Description: Based on the top-selling videogame! Includes the 9 page prequel that was previously only available in the Convention Exclusive Street Fighter #0!
Excellent read If you are a SF fan, you will enjoy the artwork and stories in this first volume. I enjoyed Volume 1 and 2 more than volume 3, and much more than Volume 4. This begins the battles and adventures of Ryu and his goal to develop as a fighter. It also follows all of the other characters from the SF II and SF Alpha era and merges them. SF Alpha is a precursor to the SF II. It is a quick read with excellent artwork and an interesting story, and although there are some small parts of the story that are boring for a few characters, most of the story and battles are worthwhile. Do a search to find sample pages of what the artwork looks like. The book is in digest size, which is smaller than the comic book sizes. There is also an Ultimate SF book available which collects the entire four volumes and shows them in larger-than-comic-book-size pages if you can find that version. I recommend this book to all fans of SF, and to any non-fans who know of SF but have never tried to learn the backstories.
GREAT NOVEL FOR ALL STREET FIGHTER FANS! If you grew up playing Street Fighter games and wanted to know more on the stories of the characters, then THIS IS A DEFINITE MUST PICK UP AND HAVE! Great illustrations with a great storyline to stay true to the characters of the game and brings them to life. Really thought out well and structured greatly. CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT VOLUME, VOLUME 5! :)
excelent this books and the others are really good, I ordered this book with 4 more and all were delivered in less than a week!!
excelent work, excelent art, WOW
I LOVE STREET FIGHTER
Beautiful The art in this series is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! It's well worth the price tag just to look at all the pretty pictures. But the storyline is excellent as well. If only these guys could be in charge of creating a Street Fighter movie since all the previous ones have been average to suck.
Street Fighter Vol. 1 Round One: FIGHT!
Though I still have fond memories of playing Street Fighter II for the Super Nintendo back in grade school, I'll admit that I don't quite remember the game having any plot to speak of. Well, I just finished the comic book, and, my opinion hasn't changed all that much.
As you might expect, the series tells the story of a Ryu, who--SUPRISE!--gets into street fights aplenty. The honorable brawler finds his beloved sensei slain in his own dojo and sets off to find the killer, running into all manner of classic characters along the way. (Including Guile, the bombastically American super-soldier, who was my personal favorite back in the day. SONIC BOOM!)
Don't get me wrong, the Udon Crew obviously loves the original games, and has created a fitting homage to them (complete with manga-styled visuals). The only problem is that you'd have to be the age I was when I first bought a SNES to enjoy the story.
