Now here’s a book that’s worth the wait. These issues take half an eternity to come out, but that’s only because Udon works these things into absolutel perfection. You’d be hard-pressed to find a comic with more gorgeous artwork. The story-telling is also a real treat, this issue focusing on Gen and his relationship with Akuma. A very good, moving story, particularly at the end. Gen fans will love it (I’m still waiting for my Blanka story, Udon!). The back-up story is better than most, at least in the art-department. An all-around great issue. If only Udon could produce more books like this at a steadier pace (I’m still mourning the loss of Darkstalkers).
