Capcom Comics Line Planned 8
Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to an IGN article discussing a new range of US-bound Capcom comics. Produced by Dreamwave, who are well known for their new Transformers comics, the Capcom-licensed series will include Megaman, Darkstalkers, Maximo, Devil May Cry, and Rival Schools in the first wave, which start debuting in August. Dreamwave also has a preview gallery up on their site.
My problem with a Darkstalkers comic... (Score:3, Insightful)
And they're going to explain why they have this rivalry.
Okay, great. Except...
THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE GAME.
The game is where the ass-kicking belongs (and rightly so!). Before the game (as in this comic), there was no ass-kicking. They were getting to the ass-kicking, but rest assured, it had not come down to fisticuffs.
Just bizness, as Demitri would say.
If it doesn't involve Morrigan fucking some poor sap, and then blackmailing them (or killing them), it's not worth it. How else could she have managed to get Berial taken out so convienently! Alas, Dreanwave is too pussy to break with the Comic code, so we will have all that beautiful art by Lou Kang [dreamwaveprod.ca] go to waste at the safe edge of sensuality and controversy.
So, in conclusion, American Capcom comics = Gay (at least this one).
If you want background story, download some MegaMan RPG roms and watch the Darkstalker OAVs. Oh, and Devil May Cry does not deserve to be a comic. It's such an overdone topic in that medium that it makes me want to vomit.
Christ people.

Of course, no one will read this follow up post, and I've got Karma to burn, so I'm just going to flame on.

They're a real up and coming company. They actually make comic books worth reading again. I think a lot of people got turned away from comics as it 1) became too commercial with the first few Batman and Spiderman movies, 2) They started to show off art and tout the great artists that each company had versus spending time on the plot, 3) Comic companies fell into dire straights as they fought each other trying to compete, and 4) Our generation got older.
Mind you there are a few gems of writers out there t
