Street Fighter isn't the only fighting game that can get its own comic book these days; Capcom has a few more fighting tricks up its intellectual property sleeve. The latest to get the free online comics treatment? Rival Schools.
Udon Comics has just released the online comic book that showcases the fighting talents of various Japanese high schools. But that playful boasting has to be put aside when some mysterious disappearances start happening. Corey "Rey" Lewis provides the "striking" (get it?) visuals for this work, and as of now the first two chapters are available online (a whopping 80 pages). Udon plans on adding a page a day until the full four chapters are available for everyone's enjoyment.
If you've ever uttered the words "meet me at the playground at 3 o'clock" then this series might just be for you.
Full press release below.
