Cover Opinion:
I personally really love covers that have something to do
with the comic itself. I definitely enjoy this one the best.
The dark colors contrast with Bison's Psycho Hand is pretty
awesome. Plus Chun-Li's in the right outfit. |

Cover Opinion:
I personally like this, it's more of a 4 to me, but I
can't give away too many 4's, it won't have a meaning. Haha.
These three are definitely great. There is a shadow in the
figure giving some sort of depth, wonderful. |

Cover Opinion:
WOW. These two look extremely real! This is amazing.
While I like anime-inspired interpretations, this one is
AMAZING. Both characters look extremely real, and the
coloring is a WOW. Though, a little plain. |

Synopsis: Beginning with Charlie, he wonders
what has happened with him. Sagat shows up and Ryu
battles with Sagat. Sagat later stops fighting, to
warn Ryu about Bison and his intentions. Sakura and
Kei arrive a few miles from the Miyazaki Shrine.
Charlie comes to see Guile and Chun-Li explaining
everything that he's learned, including Chun-Li's
father's death. Soon, Bison shows up shooting at
Charlie, who is now presumed dead. It's a two on one
battle with Chun-Li and Guile against Bison. It
seems to be the end for Guile and Chun-Li until
Charlie fires a Sonic Boom at Bison. Claiming that
the experiment on Charlie did indeed work. Charlie
and Bison fight it out both using Psycho Power. At
the end, Charlie decides to use a last resort move,
the Somersault Crusher. Charlie falls to the ground
with Bison falling also. Chun-Li and Guile wonder if
it is truly the end of the fight. While at the
Miyazaki Shrine, Ryu senses a strong presence, and
tells them to show their face. The mysterious
presence is shown to be...Akuma.
Back-Up Issue Synopsis: Bison tells Killer
Bee that she has excelled greatly in all her minor
tasks. He asks Vega to battle against Killer Bee to
see who will be the victor. Vega is able to slice
her face leaving her a scar, but Killer Bee recoils
with a strong kick leading her to victory. Vega
wonders what Bison's real intentions with Killer Bee
and the dolls are, telling Killer Bee as she is
diagnosed, we will soon see who is the more
powerful.

Conclusion: Wow, this time, I think Cammy is
looking better and better every time. For the first
thing, I'm surprised to see that Sagat was actually
a neutral party. Not necessarily a bad guy. Now,
what I really like, is that they focused on Charlie
a lot. Charlie is an awesome character, he came back
to life a couple times, and this is a great way to
do it. Though this ending is reminiscent of one of
the Street Fighter Alpha endings, we know that you
can't necessarily assume he has died. Good thing at
that, maybe we can see the real death of Charlie in
an upcoming issue if he is still alive.
With everything that's happened, it must be hard to
find a negative thing about the issue, right? Not
really. When you compare the fact that in the back
up issue from when Chun-Li and Cammy fought, they
looked entirely young. Yet, now we know that it was
not that long ago. Art style...art style. As we see,
unless Chun-Li's father has been alive for years
while captured by Bison, then the storyline would
make sense. Yet, if it was younger, than I'm not
really sure. Since in official storylines, Gen also
taught Chun-Li how to fight. Who knows, I find a
negative for everything. It's still a four-star
comic.
Well, it seems like that wraps up the Interpol/US
Mission. As Bison is presumed to be gone. What is
left other than Ryu. A great thing about Udon and
writer Ken Siu-Chong is that they're are able to
piece together everything together to the main
storyline. As noticed, Sakura is there when Ryu
calls out for the strong presence. It's an amazing
way to get Sakura and Ryu to meet. Now, the next
issue that concludes the arc! |
