Saturday, June 26, 2004UDON EXPANDS CAPCOM LINEWith the success of the Street Fighter comic, UDON is now planning to expand its Capcom comic line to include two more titles, Darkstalkers and Rival Schools. Darkstalkers, with its classic cast of horror-themed characters including Morrigan and Felicia, has had a dedicated fan base for years, spawning anime OAVs, manga and other licensed products. Rival Schools, one of Capcom's most popular 3-D fighting games, expands the Street Figher universe with a cast of new and familiar faces in a tale that is equal parts kung-fu and comedic high school drama. The two titles are planned to debut fourth quarter 2004 as monthly on-going titles. To promote the expansion of the Capcom comic line, UDON will be releasing a Capcom Summer Special comic exclusively for the Comic-Con International in San Diego in July. Much like the Street Fighter #0 of 2003, the 32-page, full-color comic will be available to attendees of the convention. The book will contain three all-new original stories from the three respective Capcom titles: Street fight (featuring a
Chun-Lo story by Ken Siu-Chong, Arnold Tsang and Andrew Hou),
Darkstalkers (featuring the origin of Morrigan by Ken Siu-Chong and
Alvin Lee), and Rival Schools (featuring Street Fighter's Sakura and her
friends Hinata and Natsu in a story by Erik Ko and Omar Dogan).
