Street Fighter 6 Comics Get New Details from UDON

Street Fighter 6 is still over a month away, but fans of Capcom's fighting game franchise can get a taste of the story a little bit early. Publisher UDON will be releasing comics based on the game, the first of which will be dropping on Saturday May 6th as part of the annual Free Comic Book Day promotion. Street Fighter 6 #0 will have a creative team of Capcom, Matt Moylan, Edwin Huang, and Genzoman. However, UDON has announced that the first issue of the series has been pushed back, and will now release on May 24th, with subsequent issues dropping weekly.

Luke was the final DLC fighter introduced in Street Fighter 5, and will play a major role in the story for Street Fighter 6.

Street Fighter 6 is set to release on June 2nd, so the majority of the series will have released ahead of the game. As fans wait for the game's release, they can check out the demo for Street Fighter 6, which is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
