Technically if you count the days between Issue 2 and Issue 3 there’s about 40 days between them ( but this is only technically speaking.)
ok here’s my shout out on this topic…
I’ve complained a little about both of these problems in the past, i didnt like it when the art wasnt so shit hot towards the end of the street fighter series ( i forget which exact issues ) , but i also dont like waiting ageeees for the issues to come out.
Obviously, i woudl love the high standard the alvin is producing to come oout monthly, but - if i really had to pick , and ok maybe this isnt an ideal solution, but if i had to pick between by monthly comics ( which is almost what they are ) with the shit hot art - or monthly comics with a lower standard - well , the bottom line for me is the that the art is most important, so i’d go for the bimonthly shit hot stuff!
Lets face it, there isnt too much to the story, and nobody is getting massive surprises in any of the issues - i’m not saying i dont enjoy reading it, i love it, but the art is paramount for me. And this sf2 series has so far been top notch.
So , Udonko ( much better name dude, udoneko just wasn’t catchy 
…keep doin what yer doin - if u can get alvin to speed up awesome - if not, ok fair enough 
good job Udon! Your comics are works of art that sit beautifully in my street fighter collection!
thanks for the explanation for the delays udoneko. while i do think the gap between 2 and 3 was way too long, i’m glad you took the time out to explain why for us. considering the quality of the art so far, i’m actually totally okay with a 1.5/2 month turnaround between issues. so yeah, so long as the quality stays as high as it has been and sf can avoid the extra long delays, i’ll definitley keep buying it
having said that, do you have any ideas when the next issue will come out udoneko? i suppose a 1.5/2 month turnaround from april 3 should mean mid-may/early june, but it’d be nice to hear for sure.
also nice to see you posting frequently on the boards again udoneko
What he said.
And I LOVE the variants.
I’ve done my best to get a few friends to read the collected editions. Three friends have already burned through my back issues and I got each of them #0 and #1 and keep asking me when the next issue comes out. If this series doesn’t start coming out on a more constant basis their interest is going to be lost…That just three people you have already lost because of long waits. As fun as SDCC is, I’d much rather have the comic on a regular basis. I’d seriously consider switching artists. I like Lee as much as the next guy, but if he can’t produce 17 pages in 30 days perhaps he shouldn’t be drawing comics. There are many talented artists who could do equally well that can also do it in a timely manner.
I always figured it’s because the SF comic, or maybe comics in general usually, aren’t enough to live off of so these guys are just doing the comic as a part time job. I’m not sure if I agree that the comic is extremely high quality in terms of art as others do. It’s a nice comic, but it’s not like the extra time is making it the best comic book released every 2 months or anything. Maybe this idea is just doomed to failure. I’d actually like to see Udon create their own characters and run their own comic. People haven’t mentioned it in this thread, but a lot of the time delays come from having to get approval from Capcom. I don’t know exactly how much time that adds on, but with a big company like Capcom, that can add on anywhere from 2-3 weeks to Udon’s work, especially if they have to change things.
Personally, I liked the Darkstalkers series more than the SF, and I would rather have DS than SF. DS was really high quality stuff. I think it was ranked pretty highly by non-SF fans, meaning in the comic industry overall. I’d like to know what the sales were on that. It’s a shame that DS looks to be abandoned. I know another post somewhere stated the reasons why, but still.
Just be glad Udon hasn’t done a Pat Lee on us.
it is true that these days comics need to branch out to other medias to survive, look at marvel even,s elling copyrights for movies etc.
If you doing comics part time then yea its problay more profitable.
Again these days to make serious money you need a franchise series, cue the toys,books,anime.
Like I say I hope the SF2 arc gets done, if they dont make it to 3s strike I wont be too upset.
I’d be gutted if we never made it to third strike. I can’t wait to see the Third Strikers more fleshed out.
I reckon Udon is doing really well for a brand new publisher. It takes alot of work to get things up and running smoothly. And I have no quams about waiting more than a month for each issue.
Forget what Eldor said. Never let Al go!!! I don’t care if it takes him 6 months(ok that’s stretching it)to complete a mag, hang on to him. He is right up there with all the top artists. We could have that crappy art from the mockery that was SF in the 90’s. Oh god, that was a travesty. Just thinking about it makes me sick. I would love to have SF monthly but if more time is what it takes that’s fine with me. I guess it does mean DS has taken a more indefinite back seat though? I really liked this mag too, yet if I must sacrifice it to have Sf, so be it.:nunchuck: :rock:
This man is a moron.
It’s the same fate as family guy…when Udon gets situated on Cartoon Network then they’ll sell a lot and yes, UNCANCELLED…'cause on Fox Udon would die from inconsistency, too many different times to look, fans not knowing when the show will air…just random inconsistent fox
the longer we wait, the more it hurts us all. trust me on this one. :sad:
Yeah, that’s probably true also. Mattel would constantly give shit to the guys making the He-Man comics from a couple years ago.
The way comics are today art like that never gets out…Unless it’s Rob Liefield drawing it, I still don’t understand people who buy his stuff…I like Alvin, I’m just not as willing to wait on him as much as some of you others are. I also know so many untapped talented artists who are capable of doing the same level of quality (and faster I might add) who would kill to work in the comic field. Alvin is good, but he isn’t exactly Alex Ross.
Hey lemme try bitter angry fanboy Internet guy…
“did your mom like her mother’s day present I gave her last night”
How was that, was it juvenile and pointless enough to qualify? :looney:
I don’t actually like Alex Ross that much. He’s not crap by all means, but the main thing I dislike about his stuff is that everyone looks chubby. Apart from that, he’s pretty damn good. I did like the Jim Lee/Alex Ross collaborative piece though. VERY nice!
Angry fanboy would be the dork coming onto a message board crying because a comic isn’t out soon enough for him and then having the balls to give his “2 cents” about how many pages he thinks a professional artist should be required to do in a month.
If you think art like Liefelds never gets out, you might wanna spend your time browsing other titles in the comic store while you’re counting the minutes until the next SF issue comes out.
This is how you guys wanted it.
Before you were crying because the art wasn’t “as good” and you all wanted Alvin to do it full time.
Now you got what you wanted and you’re still not happy.
Talk about pointless and juvenile.:rolleyes:
Here we go, Apathy sometimes you really just need to learn to chill and give some respect to people. The angry fanboy act is getting old. Has anybody started bitching you? Not before you started on them. Just because you’re hiding in your room behind a keyboard doesn’t mean bigging it up makes you seem tough.
Anyways yes the art needed to be consistent because it was getting way too noticable and lots of people here were complaining. Now sod all people here bother talking about the comics and I’d wager that’s due to the inconsistency of release dates causing loss of interest. Udon does indeed need to learn to work both out if it wishes to make it big one day. They need to learn to be able to pace themselves better or I wonder how they will manage. I wonder how many people will be reading by the time of SF3 at this rate?
Don’t be ignorant.
Yes, everyone online who takes issue with something another person says is DEFINATELY
A.) Angry :mad:
B.) Hiding :shy:
C.) Trying to be a badass :badboy:
You’re so original it hurts.
I guess this is the part where I’m supposed to proclaim that I’d say the same thing to your face, and then set up a place and time to meet so I can, right? :rolleyes:
As lame as your stock reply is, I’d actually like to see you back up the “angry fanboy” comment.
Feel free to PM me or hop on AIM.
I don’t mid a break on Udon’s behalf every now and then. Preferably more then than now. A month break I can deal with once. A two month break after an arc’s end I can take. So right now, there are still ok but they are in my red zone.
Please let’s expect the consistency in quality and release! I know they’ve got it!
I IMed you before and you never responded, so shut the fuck up. You’re a pussy, and the only reason you can post this nonsense is because nobody has found a way to punch people through a computer screen. Whatever, I was okay with the comic before reading your shit. You accuse people who actually like the comic and want it to do well. So fuck you, I’m dropping the comic. It hurts Udon more than it hurts you, but he shoulda banned your ass from this forum months ago anyway, so whatever.
