Sammy and Dee Jay are joined by Street Fighter newcomers Luke, Jamie, Rashid, and A.K.I. for some fresh stories from Udon.

Beat ’em up guy

Capcom’s latest in the long-running series, Street Fighter 6 saw release on consoles and PC in June, but the hype train isn’t slowing down any time soon. With a full post-launch season of downloadable content planned out and a series of comics from Udon, it’s going to be all-SF6, all the time for a while yet.

This week brings word of even more comic books too, as Udon has revealed more details about Street Fighter 6 Evolution Special #1. A one-shot, the Evolution Special was first announced at fighting game celebration EVO. It’s set to bring some old favorites and newly arrived World Warriors into a three pack of stories, all taking place in the Street Fighter 6 era.

Here’s a short (unlettered) preview:

Featuring three all-new short stories starring the World Warriors Rashid, Cammy, Dee Jay, Luke, Jamie… and the debut of an all-new Street Fighter 6 character…. the deadly A.K.I.! A titanic trio of artists have teamed up for this book, including Hanzo Steinbech, Tovio Rogers, and Jeffrey “Chamba” Cruz, with a special appearance on cover A by none other than Genzoman! Featuring story concepts by Capcom’s Takayuki Nakayama (Street Fighter 6 Director!)and UDON’s Matt Moylan, this one-shot is not to be missed!
Udon press release

Variants, plus some very limited

Including all of the above action plus a bunch more, Street Fighter 6 Evolution Special #1 hits stands on November 15th, 2023. When it arrives, it’ll be with a full cadre of variant covers too, including all that you see in the gallery below.

Just a few notes there too, because while pre-orders are open now for all, only covers A-D will be found in comics shops. The two A.K.I./Cammy editions will be exclusive to Udon’s online shop, and the “swimsuit version” will be super-limited, with only 250 copies seeing print worldwide.

So if you want one of those, you might want to shimmy on over to Udon’s shop and grab a copy while you still can.
