UDON’s Publisher ErikKko had this to say about the new found partnership

“We’ve been working hard to secure digital rights for many of our licenses for the past several years, and we’ve prepared a slate of licensed comics and graphic novels from our Street Fighter and Darkstalkers line, as well as selections from our manga, art book, and original graphic novel series’ that fans are really going to love. We’re especially excited to see our works transformed with comiXology’s Guided View™ reading technology and really see all the action of our comics and graphic novels unfold in a brand new way!”

Following the launch titles, UDON will tap into its back catalog with new releases coming out same day as print! This will include one of my favorite characters, Akuma, in Street Fighter Origins: Akuma original graphic novel!
