Blanka seems to finally be involved. I wonder how he’ll be introduced into the story. I guess the release date for issue #2 is December 28, 2005.

So, is SFII #1 in stores yet? Anyone get it?

Gojira · November 14, 2005, 7:10am

I don’t think it’s out yet. Maybe on 11/16, but that’s not official, just my guess.

System_1 · November 14, 2005, 9:40pm

I’ts not out on 11/16, but we have not yet been notified whether it will be the 23rd or the 30th.

hate to be the bitch that says it but…

I really thought that one of the reasons behind the huge ass long break was so that Udon would not go 2.5 months in between issues anymore.

I guess not.

If you’ll be the bitch that says it, I don’t mind being the bitch that seconds it.

What gives?

PaRt2 · November 17, 2005, 6:13am

and I will follow. My Comic Book guy is yet to see it and I just went in there today and he was going over his shipment and nowhere in site. Although, I did pick up Issue 12A from the last series.

I know it’s only the 16th but what gives?

yeah, i say, for a good comic we can all wait a little…or a month
patience is good…if the reward is great.

System_1 · November 17, 2005, 8:23am

The point wasn’t that i wanted it right this minute.
I dont like having to search around and guesstimate when the comic is coming out only to be wrong.

Issue #0 came out in the midst of SFMonth, and although the issue was fine and didn’t seem rushed at all, i now have the feeling that it was released even though the guys weren’t ready to actually start the series again.
Add that to the fact that I found SF month to be damn near useless, and you can see why i would be displeased.

Udon took a long break. Which was fine. So if they were to say ‘hey guys, the comic will be coming out every three months now. get ready to get your faces rocked. no joke.’ i would be more than happy. And i’m assuming that three monts is enough time to get a serious and consistent schedule going.

And look, all i’m saying is that not being able to follow a schedule is hurting them bad. Not knowing when the comic is coming out makes me forget about it…and i’m sure i’m not the only one.

CyanideAssassin · November 17, 2005, 1:31pm

If we could get a definate date, that would be great. If the guys at Udon arent sure when its going to be out, it would be great if they could say that. I just want some sort of idea…bla bla bla you get the point.

SFMC · November 18, 2005, 8:35pm

Yeah I made 2 trips hte past weeks just hoping that it will show up on the shelf. I can wait another 2, no hurry.

What i do agree upon is a definate release date.

Here’s a rant from a web comic author which I think may apply to this situation:

The main problem was the format and update schedule. Instead of posting all of the comics in one story as one self-contained set, I’d just post a page at a time, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This is not a format I recommend for webcomics.
I mean, let me put it this way. If you took your copy of Spiderman or Kare Kano, and then read one page, put the book down, waited a couple days, read another page, waited another couple days, and repeated like such, do you think you’d get full enjoyment from the book? It’d actually be really awkward, wouldn’t it?
If you take a story that was meant to be read in sequence, and spread it out like that, it has a way of ruining the intended timing and context of the story, and making it a little harder to follow than it should be.

…

People who didn’t like the Android Story may be surprised if they try reading it now in archived form. I’m not saying it was a great story; it still has all the problems I mentioned before. But it certainly works better when taken all at once.

This is a problem that will likely spring up with the Street Fighter comic (if it hasn’t already) due to all the delays (except with chapters instead of pages being the things far spaced apart). As all the comic issues are generally part of a single story, the simple fact is that if they end up getting spaced too far apart (such as say, getting delayed for months on end), more and more readers will eventually start to forget about it, or forget about what happened in the last issue, and “it has a way of ruining the intended timing and context of the story, and making it a little harder to follow than it should be.”

Over an exceptionally long period of time when you’re trying to reach out to as many readers as possible, this… probably isn’t a good thing.

“I mean, let me put it this way. If you took your copy of INSERT YOUR FAVORITE NOVEL HERE, and then read one chapter, put the book down, waited a couple MONTHS, read another chapter, waited another couple MONTHS, and repeated like such, do you think you’d get full enjoyment from the book? It’d actually be really awkward, wouldn’t it?”
