Comic Review: Street Fighter #10

This is a comic book that fans can usually only dream about.

Seriously.

The amount of detail that Ken Siu-Chong puts into each issue is amazing. He continues to fill the pages with not only the main characters everyone knows, but also the more obscure as well. Take this issue for example:

Page two features a cameo of Yun and Yang while most of the issue features SF Alpha's Master Gen, apparently Chun Li's old master.

This issue focuses on Fei Long and Chun Li as they track down Xiayu and Yanyu. Chong has put Bison's dolls, to good use especially all of the unplayable characters like Xiayu and Yanyu. While Juni, one of the only two playable dolls if you don't count Cammy, has made a few cameos, Juli, the other playable one, has yet to make her appearance, except on covers.

This issue also helps set up future clashes, including Cammy vs Chun Li as well as a rematch between Ken and Vega. This issue concludes with a small backstory with Master Gen and a young Chun Li, drawn by Andy Seto, who also drew a variant cover.

So, if you're a Street Fighter fan, I can't think of an excuse why you aren't out buying this issue, or the ones to come...
