First Look!
Buzzscope just posted the preview of the issue,and i think reyyy’s artwork has gotten alot sharper judging by the first 8 pgs. Can’t wait to read the rest.:rock:
so when is this Rival School issue #1 comic book coming out?? and isnt it a bad idea to call Rival School “Rival School”? cause i remember that Rival School’s name was change to Project Justice because of the columbine thingy thus capcom probably didnt want to get sue so they change the name to something akward.
it says at the top of the preview – “Available: 2006-05-17”
that’s tomorrow 
REY could always draw that way, its more of a different approach that fits his style, which is why the book will be in b/w as opposed to color. The majority of REY’s wor looks better in b/w except for the work the REY himself colors. Just a side note also, REY also has other titles out if others are interested, Under the Oni Press label he is doing, Sharknife, and PENG!, these are amazing books if you happen to catch them. His website if here.
Comics and treats GET!
It’s good to see Udon Previews again. I loved getting a sneak peek at the next comic before it hits the shelves down under. Hopefully they get more previews up so we can get a sneak peek at the next Street Fighter comic.
What the… 200 pages!!! DAMN… Batsu looks bad ass in those pages too. Can’t wait! 14 hours to go…
it’s been a long time in the making, but it’s finally coming out!!! hope you guys enjoy it-- as a capcom fan and fighting-game enthusiast, i tried to put in a bunch of stuff for fans of the game and fans of capcom. i hope you guys like it as much as other udon books, and also as a new kind of comics experience!!
:sad: :sad: :sad: …
wtf!!! 200 pages?? Is that a typo? How is that possible, especially at only $5??
the issues are 40 pages each, that must be a typo.
thedude- i didn’t mean to make u cry, sorry darling
Ah, not 200 pages. I was worried for a second that given the 200 page length this was just a one shot, thank goodness!
Great issue Rey! I like the little touches like the Ken poster and the kid playing with a GBA. Also that fight was long the way I like my fight scenes! RS is looking like it will be the Teen Titans or New Mutants of the SF comic world and I’m loving it! More please!
I did notice one mistake though. That guy who is eating the apple and talking to Hinata is weating a tie in only one panel. Other than that it’s perfect!
I also want to say that unlike a slew of non Japanese made black and white mangas this book actually has a good use of black and white and grays and a much better use of inks than other stuff. I hope the industry takes notice…
Other things - So is the Onimusha manga coming out May like the ad says?
And GASP! What be this SF Legends comic coming in August with art from Omar Dogan? Is it going to be SF story one shots with Sakura being first? Spill the secret, arg!!!
Great issue. Picked up both covers today. Art is nice. Disappointed that it is in black and white though. Street Fighter and Darkstalkers comics spoiled me.
The good: Fun to read.:wgrin:
The bad: Black and White? Blech, no thanks. If I want to read manga, wait, I don’t want to read manga.
how does the artwork compare to the rival schools shorts in the street fighter comics?
i found the style of artwork there to be kinda dumb.
The mini shorts were sub-par compared to the full bulk of this issue.
Stats:
Mini + rushed=crap
Main book + more time=worth buying
Yeah, I find the art to be really good, much different from what most comics offer. BTW, Rey has ADD and I love it.:lovin:
ok, i dont no if im color blind or not, but Rival School #1 was in black and white. if there really was no color touching, then i want my money back. i didnt pay $5 bucks for a colorless comic book cause i woud’ve gone out and got me a Trigun manga instead.
Why do every character intro always starts out with a fight scene of some sort. Ryu meets sagat follow by a fight, chunli meets t.hawk follow by another fight scenes, batsu meets hayato and another fight scene takes place, and kyosuke meets batsu and yet another fight scene happens all over again. and now we are going to get Gen vs. Ryu, WTF?
and why do rival school and SF fight scenes still suck ballz?? baki the grappler, fist of the northstar, trigun, dragonball z, etc all had good fight scenes and yet RS and SF cant even par with them. the fight between batsu and hayato was horrible, not intensefying, not even interesting, and worse of all, buring vigor attacks that are craptacular. no offense to who ever did the fight scene, but batsu vs. hayato was horrible, just horrible.
sorry guys, RS #1 didnt leave an impression on me or give me a reason to buy RS#2. Maybe if Rab has a mjor role, ill go back and get the comic, other wise, ill skip out on this series.
me agree…:arazz: arrgh
need to find some crayons
eh I thought too it was a lil over priced since it wasn’t even in color, but still it was a good read. Fight scene seemed cool to me as well, I loved the fact the issue wasn’t as short as today’s comics are and was more longer like the OG days of comics. Still though I say the price should of been 3 50 at the most. I mean you could of bought one of those shoen jump comic novels for 5 bucks.
Oh also I’d like to know when that onimishua novel comes out this month?
I’m defintly going to hit that up.=]
