Two stories are contained within the pages of this Free Comic Book Day offering from Udon. It’s fairly standard stuff from them in terms of their Street Fighter comics, but with it being intended as a taster to draw new readers in, the basic stories make a lot of sense.

Particularly the first story, Lost in Thought, in which we go through a whirlwind, action-packed tour of Ryu’s doubting mind as he meditates. Though it doesn’t have anything particularly new to say for long term readers of Street Fighter, it’s a great jumping on point for incoming fans, and does a great job of showcasing Udon’s reliably gorgeous artwork.

Next up is a fun crime tale starring Juri and C.Viper, with a neat twist or two along the way. Again, it’s a fantastic demonstration of Udon’s production values and impeccable art, with a light-hearted and fun script to boot.

I adore the Street Fighter comics, as anyone who knows me will be well aware of, and this Free Comic Book Day issue is a really good way of sampling the campy fun of Capcom’s fighting game lore on the page.
