STREET FIGHTER UPDATE

Ken Siu-Chong, writer of UDON's Street Fighter comic book, told The Continuum he is looking for a mix in his approach to the title.

"I've always been a Street Fighter fan," Siu-Chong said. "I'm trying to balance the story from the original continuity from the video game, staying close to that, and throw in a few twists."

Street Fighter #1, due in stores this week, has already sold out at Image Comics, and a second printing will be available on Sept. 10.

Street Fighter's first story arc will last six issues.

"After a year we'll go into the big tournament," said Erik Ko, chief of operations for UDON, adding that the studio has the license for three years.

Ko said plans are for at least the first 12 issues of Street Fighter to continue with Powerfoil covers featuring individual characters. Adam Warren is providing a cover for the second issue.

Here's how Image describes the first issue:

"Ryu makes a solemn journey from Japan to San Francisco to deliver grave news to his old friend and sparring partner, Ken - that their master has been murdered by an unknown enemy. Meanwhile, Guile, fueled by his need for vengeance as much as his sense of duty, delves into Interpol's investigation of Shadaloo, the criminal organization responsible for the mysterious disappearance of his comrade and closest friend, Charlie."

IDW COLLECTS I AM LEGEND

IDW Publishing is bringing a horror classic back to bookshelves in November: the Steve Niles/Elman Brown adaptation of Richard Matheson's novel of fear and vampirism, I Am Legend.

The story of the last man on an Earth overrun by the undead, I Am Legend has seen life as a novel and has been adapted for movies several times. Niles adapted the novel for a four-volume graphic novel more than a decade ago, with art by Elman Brown. The original issues are collected here for the first time in one deluxe volume. These books have long been out of print, and the time is right for today's readers to get bitten by I Am Legend.

"It will always be one of the biggest thrills of my life that I had the chance to adapt I Am Legend," Niles said. "It was the first book I ever read and loved and remains of my favorite horror stories to this day. Thank you, Mr. Matheson!"

Richard Matheson's I Am Legend is a 248-page, black and white trade paperback graphic novel, on sale in November at a price of $35.
