I just wonder if somebody is willing to license the Udon stuff in Japan and how would it be received in the Japanese manga/comic fandom over there?
I was glad I was able to pick up both covers and plan to give them to my girlfriend for her birthday 
She is a huge Rival Schools fan BTW.
Grow up. This is a typical bs kiddie attitude, and itâs not the first time you guys have acted like that.
The sad part is that some fanboys are so blind that they will actually fall for this kind of crap (as the replies clearly show). I bet this attitude worked with some kids when you were in pre-school⌠warning them you would âtake your toys awayâ⌠:rolleyes:
All youâre doing is creating a community filled with nothing but mindless drones afraid to criticize anything you ever do.
I hope youâre proud.
Now please, you kids can all bash me and neg rep me all you want. Whatever makes you feel better, whatever floats your boat.
I think Mr. Ko was only being sarcastic about the whole black and white bit. At first, even though I forgot the news far in advance, the comics are in black and white; it is still better drawn and presented than most black and white comics Iâve seen in the Western Hemisphere.
Udon, if it is true, please please translate the SF mangas before the evil Tokyopop does and please present it in the origional publication format of the serials and not making it into âtokyopop book sizeâ unless thatâs how it was origionally published in Japan.
Gambate ne Udon!
LOL thats why Time_Stop is my hero next to zulu he never holds back always speaks the truth on what he thinks.
I have to say udoneko that comment was childish and really when you sit down and think about it you knew that yourself, however the people moaning about BW comics are also childish, but if everyone is acting that way it gets us no where.
You SF fanboys are lucky anyway, im a KOF fan you know how much I would love to see a proper well done KOF comic like SF by udon, instead KOF/SNK gets no love yet you moan about RS being in BW, thats Ungrateful, how about you get none at all, now that would really suck.
I would love to do a KOF comic⌠or Samurai Shodown. Or Capcom vs SNK.
It was sarcasm you idiots.
Also: Maybe if some of you stopped acting like preschoolers you wouldnât get treated like one?
No matter how kiddish we gotten, we still want to know why RS #1 came out in black and white. It did tick me off that the issue was in black and white, but not as much as saying i was going to kick some ass if the next issue isnt in color.
What tick me off the most about RS #1 is how horrible the characters were introduce. If they keep getting introduce in a horrible way, then forget it, they might as well just do a royal rumble battle and introduce every RS cahracter at the same time. I can get used to the black and white color, but the story and character introduction is what impress me the most and tells me if i want to buy the next issue or not. :wonder:
Yeah, I can think of a company that picked up the licenseâŚDreamwave. So what if they went under for a while? They still picked it up.
A KOF comic would be great. I am recently buying the comic from japan that was translated to english for KOF 2003. They are at vol 3 right now.
Can you imagine all the characters that could appear at any time in the comic? That would just rule.
^^
where are you getting that from?
I think the KOF2k3 comics are Korean (Unless there are some other ones that were licensed in Japan), along with the SvC Chaos ones. They are in full color too, but are much smaller issues.
The SvC Chaos comic is insane, it shoves so many characters into each issue, and quickly âkills them offâ or has the old DBZ would put it, sends them to another dimension. The 2k3 comic is looking good though, much more story to it compared to SvC Chaos.
I saw the preview for Rival schools and I am just not interested in buy it.
edit: also Udon that comment was kind of childish
I think the KOF2003 comic is from Hong Kong. Itâs okay. Still waiting for the actual tournament fighting⌠itâs a little snoreville at the moment.
SvC Chaos comic⌠that one is kinda stupid. Iâm collecting it anyway, but I just canât get into, and still Iâm compelled to give the comic book store my money for it @_@;;;;.
And all the people saying that B/W is no good. Your opinions are also valid. The feedback here is a good indication of weather it is financially viable to translate and release the mangas they are trying to acquire. Some love it, while others detest it.
Then there is also the fact that we are use to âcomicsâ being in colour and on the other side we expect manga to be black and white. So perhaps bringing over, for example, Ryu Final would go down really well with the SF community, because manga is expected to be in B/W.
Here is an idea for UDON to get more exposure to their manga venture if they choose to continue (which will lead to more exposure for their comic line). Publish through a well known manga publisher (example VIZ or Tokyopop etc). Youâll get your product on more shelves and to a bigger market.
The only KOF comic translated in English I enjoyed was the KOF Maximum Impact comic, I liked this much more than KOF 2003 and SVC Chaos. The only bad thing about the KOF Maximum Impact comic was that it was only 8 issues long and we didnât get to see the outcome of every single fight during the tourney, everyone was shown but not everyone fought. But it was great seeing Terry and Alba team up to beat down Duke for the final battle.
It came to the stores very strangely here in the US, one week issues 1, 2, 3, and 4 (all standard comic book legnth) were available on the same day. Two weeks later issues 5, 6, 7 and 8 were out on the same day.
Itâs not so much the color issues that bother me, as much as the actual art quality, which seems to be terrible. That cover is just hideous, and the cover is supposed to be better looking than the pages. After seeing what the original designs supposeably looked like, I donât know how they turned into that. Honestly, Hinataâs face looks fucking retarded.
Im going to have to check that KOF MI comic out sounds good sano.
Hey everyone udoneko has done a runner I guess the SRK effect has got to him, I need to see what RS looks like because alot of you are saying it looks really bad, I guess thats what did it for him in the end, Im not sure him going is going to help because all the people moaning are just going to lose interest all togther now, that is only going to hurt sales in the long run, some how I dont see this working out so well, problay means the end of RS maybe SF might follow.
You see this is what happens when your ungrateful.
I would love for you to do so.
CvS would be an eye opener IMO .
Capcom v Snk sounds good on paper, but I can tell you right now you will be opening a can of worms when it comes to fans, what do I mean you say, well if terry gets beat up by ken or vega etc your going to have terry fans in an uproar saying no way should terry lose to them.
Me I wouldnt really mind as long as it wasnt Completely stupid say dan defeats ryo etc.
I would think first there would have to be an SNK comic, KOF mainly before thereâs a Capcom vs. SNK comic. That way we could judge the characterâs strengths and weaknesses in those books and then decide who would win against who in the comic book world. In the SF comic characterâs strengths are just a bit different than they are really, Dhalsim is much stronger and so is Vega(cape) after heâs reawakened, it might be like that with KOF too.
The best comic for Capcom vs. SNK would be if you take SVC Match of the Millenium on the Neo Geo Pocket, un super deform everybody and go with that since it had more of a story than the rest of the vs. games. Or you can go with âamalgamâ and have any character that has ever appeared in one of the CVS/SVC crossovers and run with that. Just my 2 cents.
