Capcom Comics Line Planned

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to an IGN article discussing a new range of US-bound Capcom comics. Produced by Dreamwave, who are well known for their new Transformers comics, the Capcom-licensed series will include Megaman, Darkstalkers, Maximo, Devil May Cry, and Rival Schools in the first wave, which start debuting in August. Dreamwave also has a preview gallery up on their site.

My problem with a Darkstalkers comic...

[Ayanami Rei]

They're going to make it into a "drag-it-out battle" between the characters, rival gangs of monsters.

And they're going to explain why they have this rivalry.
Okay, great. Except...

THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE GAME.

The game is where the ass-kicking belongs (and rightly so!). Before the game (as in this comic), there was no ass-kicking. They were getting to the ass-kicking, but rest assured, it had not come down to fisticuffs.

Just bizness, as Demitri would say.

If it doesn't involve Morrigan fucking some poor sap, and then blackmailing them (or killing them), it's not worth it. How else could she have managed to get Berial taken out so convienently! Alas, Dreanwave is too pussy to break with the Comic code, so we will have all that beautiful art by Lou Kang go to waste at the safe edge of sensuality and controversy.

So, in conclusion, American Capcom comics = Gay (at least this one).

If you want background story, download some MegaMan RPG roms and watch the Darkstalker OAVs. Oh, and Devil May Cry does not deserve to be a comic. It's such an overdone topic in that medium that it makes me want to vomit.

Christ people.
