Is each issue gonna have so many covers? I had no idea there were that many.
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!
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.
Thanks Erik,
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!
- Bengus
- Akiman/CRMK
- Senri Kita
- Kinu Nishimura
- Shoei
- Harumaru
- 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!
- Masahiko Nakahira
- Itoh Mami
- Masaomi Kanzaki
- 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!
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?
Yea, this large amount of different covers kinda seems to be getting out of hand, here…
Edayan.

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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Check out the SF#3 cover art:
Cover A by Alvin Lee & Ramil Sunga!
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.
Well, one of them will actually show up in issue #3 before a lot of those girls on the cover!
