UDON Entertainment

Street Fighter Ultimate Edition, it’s oversized and complete collection of UDON's Street Fighter comic series! 15 issues of Street Fighter collected into an Ultimate Edition, packing 450 pages including bonus stories and variant covers.  Published as monthly comics by UDON, the first 15 issues is later collected into digest size which is cheaper but also smaller than the normal tradepaperbacks to really enjoy and appreciate Street Fighter.  Of course, I personally purchased the digest and also, Darkstalkers Digest too. 

The opportunity to get a bigger and better version presented itself and of course, I got it from Amazon.com minus Ultimate Edition Vol. 2 which I should be getting soon enough too.  The only complain is that it is glued, and quite bulky minus the Hardcover which normally you get from purchasing Omnibus or Absolute Edition from Marvel / DC.  Got to handle with care for the book when reading to avoid possible pages slipped.

For artworks, it is more anime type rather than American comics but not overly anime to really turn off those used to American comics.  The fighting sequence is fluid and dynamic to captivate your gaze, of course the fan-service is there for SF hardcore to pick-up.
