I’ve been waiting for this ever since I picked up Volumes 1 & 2. Kind of pricey, but definitely worth it.
any word on issue 5?
My guess is that it’s the Ryu cover one that Midtown is getting.
Should be. Midtown had no image of the cover available on their site, but it should be that cover. I think the Gouki one was an SDCC exclusive.
like serial, when’s issue 5 coming out? that’s the only update i’m interested in. i heard alvin finished the issue a long time ago, i wonder what’s the hold up. =[
4 issues in a year is pathetic. there is no excuse.
so where is issue 5? is the series being released quarterly now?
I am a big fan of Udons Street fighter series but you know I can say I dont agree. I cant stand here and defend udon because your absolutely right
I am sad to say!
these issues coming out so little has to be hurting the company, and if the artist finished a while back then perhaps its a money issue that they are struggling with
which makes me even more sad because I love thier books
the comic needs to be on time and to come out a a regular basis4-6 weeks times
What ever they need to do , they need to do it.
no impossibles no ifs no buts
its sad, ive talked to the employees of my favorite comic shop about it on more than one occasion, they have several people whose “main” comic was SF. now anytime anyone asks when the new issue is coming out its like they just told a joke.
i wish Udon would issue some sort of an explanation at least, you know? if theyre gonna cancel the comic, so be it, but if not, well…
its a shame , i had pretty much given up on even looking for the new issue of SF when i went in, and for that reason i completely missed issue #4. and of course, my store doesnt even really take the book seriously anymore and didnt bother to order anymore copies.
Udon, if one of your representitives is reading this, by any chance, please shed some light on whats happened to this book.
i’ve completely given up on this book ever being monthly. i’d like that, but unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be possible at this point.
really, i’d just appreciate some sort of update on when the comic may come out. if it’s bimonthly, fine. if it’s quarterly, fine. i’d rather know that it the next issue will come out in february next year than sit around waiting with no response from udon.
Coming soon, in 2009…STREET FIGHTER II #7 BY UDON!!!
I think they’re on a quarterly system. I remember when they went on the…what was it, 6 month hiatus, it was to allegedly get about 5-6 comics done at once, and then just put finishing touches on each one for release or something. That obviously didn’t happen, so you have to wonder what they did with that time, and why the defenders were swearing up and down that this was what was happening at the time.
I’m sure you can drudge up the old posts, but anyway, here are a few reasons I can come up with off the top of my head:
A late comic is late until it’s released, but a crappy comic is crappy for all time!
This is hard work, and sometimes we don’t feel like doing it.
If you think you can do a better job, go make your own comic.
You don’t have to buy the comic if you don’t like it, we owe you nothing.
Did I miss any?
ahahaha i see alot of those 2 statements as well. 0_0
That hiatus had nothing to do with the comic. That was when they were collaborating with Capcom on the art for Capcom Fighting Jam, and the controller tie-ins that went to Blockbuster. Erik Ko was very enthusiastic about it on these forums.
I don’t know where you got that rumor about 5-6 issues. I don’t recall ever seeing anyone post anything like that here.
On topic: is SFL #2 really supposed to come out this week?
Ah there we go, now lies to cover it up. Just what I expect. First is the shaming language for anyone that was skeptic at the time, now after it passes and the skeptics were shown to have reason, it’s just time to put in more shaming language and just lie about it! You people are so predictable it’s funny.
ya it was definately said more than once that it was so they could get a upper hand on the whole comic issue being late thing
sad that wasnt the case
I am a big fan of you guys UDON !! but enough is enough get this back to a monthly basis.
Or at least have different artist working on the next 6 issues why the current artist is working on this arc. THen when the next 6 issue arc comes out have the current artist working on the next, start alternating your artist if you have too
I loved the art on the first two TPBs so if you have to use one of them,
I love Andy Laus stuff
ONe thing I have learned in my 3-years of trying to read and collect comics:
Nothing decent ever lasts. Good book stay good for a year, tops… then the artist gets changed, or they cancel your book to relaunch it as a shitty title for kids (coughyoungjusticecough), or they stop working on it for whatever reason (money, time, whatever).
Yeah this is pretty fucked up now… Udon, get your shit together. If youre gonna take this long at least announce the book as a quarterly or bi-monthly or something.
What I said was no lie; between SF #9 and #10 there was a huge delay because of Udon doing art for CFJ (or CFE, whatever it’s called). It was the first really long delay they had.
Now that I think about it though, you’re probably talking about the time after the first series run, so we’re talking about two different times. I wasn’t even checking the forums when that was going on. I WOULD apologize for not noticing that, but your response leads me to believe you didn’t bother to read it anyway.
Yes, I’m talking about that series break. Maybe next time YOU shouldn’t be jumping so quickly at the bit when you’re not sure what is being talked about. You should still apologize, but I don’t really care. If you’re going to insist on being an asshat, I’ll just think of you as such. Just a quick tip in life, treat people the way you expect to be treated, even over the internet. If you’re a nice person, some people will try to push you around, but other nice people will be nice to you. If you’re going to be a dick to people, then the people that would try to push you around won’t, but the truly nice people will probably stand up to you. Now me personally, I’d rather just be nice to everyone, and if someone tries to be a prick I’ll just destroy em, because then I’m nice to the truly nice people.
