Besides death and taxes, the only other certainty in life is that comics based on computer games are always shit. Unless… is Super Street Fighter 2, Volume 1: New Generation – could it be? Is it… good? No. Not at all. Like death and taxes, it’s shit. Round 1 - FIGHT!
Bison’s dead, Shadaloo is no more except a new evil organisation called The Secret Society has risen and Bison’s returned to life; so, nothing’s changed basically. Also, everyone knows about the “Secret” Society so the name is all wrong, unless they’re being ironic? Goddamn hipster sonsabitches…
Guile’s looking for Ryu whom he believes is being headhunted by The Secret Society whose plans inevitably revolve around world domination. I guess with Ryu on their side they’re unstoppable? Maybe his PJs are magic. On his travels, Guile will encounter famous faces like E. Honda and Ken, and some not-so-famous faces if, like me, you stopped playing the games after SF2 Turbo: Hyper Fighting… Sakura?! A coupla douchebag twins who run a restaurant? Boo! Where’s the Hulk/Wolverine knockoff?! EE-YOW! (That was my Blanka impression.)
I’ve actually read a SF2 comic before which came with a special edition PS game controller (so you know it’s quality) and that too had a similar plot to this where Guile was tasked with hunting down Shadaloo or something. My word, the imaginative range on these comics! At least in that one though he did the kick – here he doesn’t even do one sonic boom!
In between the threadbare “plot” chapters are throwaway stories where a couple of fighters battle pointlessly – just like the game! - except the action sucks. It’s drawn so that there’s usually one definitive move in one panel/page so it’s over quickly and the rest of it is banal talking. There are no sequences with numerous panels to give you the impression of fighting – the one thing this comic should’ve gotten right!
Bollocks, bollocks, bollocks. Damn you nostalgia for making me request this crap book on Netgalley! Hadoken this comic instead because if you read it? You lose! Continue? 10, 9, 8, Insert More Coins, 7, 6, (mashes buttons) 54321 – Game Over!

Great art slow but good story, great ideas but the last quarter turns into an art of Undon book.
This is the continuation of Undon's amazing Street Fighter series. 4 Years have passed since the last issue. One of Guile's agent has disappeared whilst investigating the Secret Society led by Gill, in his last transmission he send a list of people the SS is looking into Ryu is at the top of the list. Guile must reunite with the others. The art work is great the story line is well written, even though it is based of Street Fighter 3 the game they do sow the seeds Street Fighter 4. I really like the idea they have for Sakura character; she has always been Ryu junior, giving her the Satsui no Hadou (Dark Hadou) is a great idea the last page had me begging for the next issue.
The only reason I took away one star was because of the price and length of the book. You really get 3 issues of the comic series for this price. The rest is art work. I think these really bumped up the price of the book as we all know art books are expansive. The art work is great but I would have preferred another issue of the series instead call it a personal preference.
All in all if you a must have for Street Fighter fans and if you were a fan of the last series you will love this one, but it is on the pricy side.

Side stories that are generally inessential. Some of these are focused on characters that haven't gotten much time in the main Street Fighter comics like Juri or Dhalsim, but others, like Ibuki, already had their own spin off series, so checking in on them seems less necessary. The final 30 pages or so are sketchbook content, which feels like padding in this collection of mostly scraps.

It seems Udon has stopped publishing individual issues of their Street Fighter Comics, and have instead gone the route of releasing collections like this one. The thing that originally drew me to the comics was the art. I absolutely loved the Udon style. Different sections of this book are drawn by different artists, and I found some more enjoyable than others. Roughly the last 1/3 of the book is an art gallery, so there isn't quite as much story as you might expect, but not bad overall.

Reseña sobre la edición de Moztros (España)
La serie original de 6 tomos que narra historias entre Alpha y Street Fighter 2 es uno de mis cómics favoritos derivados de videojuegos. Luego de esa serie han sido publicados SF IV, un tomo único y ahora este volumen de Super Street Fighter, que tieneb la misión de unir las historias de SF IV y SF III, este volumen dedica tiempo a introducir a Alex como apollo de Guile y continúa las aventuras de Sakura y Dan enfrentando la sombra del Hado Oscuro, y sientan base para la aparición de Urien y Gill.
Cuenta con galería de portadas al final. y aunque ya no es en formato tapa dura (al parecer para reducir precio) es una adición genial para la colección si ya estás en este punto.

Too many stupid bonus side stories and art work. Guild looking for some people abducted. Ryu beats bison, about to beat Uriel. Ends with sakura engaging akuma

Not a really compelling story. They focused on the guy fighters more than I thought they would.
