I've still got at least 2 or 3 more bits to write up before I finish my blantand fanboying. Fanboing?
As to the Darkstalkers comic.. I like it, but only so far as its a bunch of pretty pictures. It's essentially an exercise of someone who loves the source material, but there isn't really any source matierial to work with, other than some character designs and a few barebones personality sketches. Fatal Fury, on the other hand, could work out quite well as a comic because there's actually quite a lot that's happened in the story, if one were to accept that Art of Fighting 1+2 directly tie into the events of Fatal Furies 1-Real Bout.
'course, I giggle over the idea of Geese seeing Iori freak out for the first time and saying, "This is it? This is the Orochi's power? That's bullshit, man. I'm so goddamn out of here. Smell you losers later."
