We're Getting A Final Fight Comic This July

I’m surprised this didn’t exist yet. I don’t regularly read comics, but i do have an Udon omnibus with a collection of Street Fighter comics in it. And a ton of their art books.
The have a talented stable of artists and that’s Udon’s main draw for me.
I’ll have to check out the free crossover in May.
Digressing heavily, i had udon for the first time in my life last week.

The Final Fight remake is due this year according to the Capcom leak from a few years ago.

I always thought Final Fight would make for an awesome gritty action film. Something in the style of movies like The Warriors, Road House, and Assault on Precinct 13.

@OldManHermit Roadhouse lol … “I used to [play Capcom games with] guys like you in prison!” I loved that movie! The warriors too. I don’t think i ever saw Carpenter’s original Assualt on Precinct 13. I need to watch that sometime as i love his horror films, and some of his other stuff, like Big Trouble In Little China and Escape From New York.

@OldManHermit
Pretty sure Okamoto mentioned that his game was somehow inspired by Walter Hill's Streets of Fire. So in a certain way, this film already exists.

@Diogmites Haha, It's so corny, but I still unironically enjoy Roadhouse. It basically is the film version of a beat 'em up game. There's even a big fat guy with suspenders and a baseball cap, which I'm pretty sure is an enemy type in Final Fight.

Precinct 13 is great. It has that same sense of isolation as The Thing and Halloween. A bunch of characters trapped in a singular setting trying to survive, good stuff.

@SlangWon Ah okay, I've heard of Streets of Fire , haven't actually seen it though. I shall give it a watch.

@OldManHermit That 80s corniness is endearing to me too, and i feel it’s not replicable in modern films.
I remember there’s a fat dude with a baseball cap and suspenders in the Streets of Rage games.
I gotta watch Roadhouse again and i will definitely get on Precinct 13. It’s been on my watchlist forever, and i needed a little kick. Also, i really dug Streets of Fire when i was a kid, though haven’t seen it since.
The Thing is great! ✌️

Poor Mighty Final Fight being forgotten, when its actually better than I expected it to be.

@Chocoburger I recently discovered that game just before the 3DS eShop closed — it's so much fun isn't it?

@Andee Yeah, and you can pick between 3 characters unlike on SNES. All it needed was a two player CO-OP mode.

If the Street Fighter vs. Darkstalkers crossover was anything to go by, I don’t have any high hopes for how UDON’s going to handle a Final Fight & Street Fighter crossover…

My favourite Street Fighter comic is still the Masaomi Kanzaki series from the mid '90s — it only features the original 12 characters, but it had a very focused plot, and a really crisp, expressive art style - I find most of the current UDON comics look a little too pristine and shiny
