Arguably, the key secret to the success of Street Fighter II lies behind the strong characterization applied to the central figures—anybody who is familiar with the video game likely bonds with at least one of the colorful fighters because they can find something to identify with him (or her). For the popular fighting game to carry over into the comics medium was a complete natural.
Speaking of comics and characterization, the one neat feature you’ll find within this title is that at the bottom of each and every page of story you’re given a mini-model sheet of the main fighters and the supporting cast—each loaded with background information, origin and personal quirks. For example: Ryu, the star character, loves to eat and becomes a hot head when hungry. Accordingly, he takes up lodging in a local restaurant and vows to help out the young owners while he fights his way up to win the annual grand fight.
A MUST HAVE for all Die Hard Street Fighter fans.
Read the story of the characters behind the video game!
