Video game comic books...

I used to collect comics but lost interest over time. I would, however, like to collect video game comics. I know there are a few, such as...


Dragon's Lair & Space Ace

Street Fighter

What others are there? I've hardly seen any of these titles anywhere? Are they worth buying?

In the defense of Street Fighter, they had a REALLY shitty publisher / distrubutor / parent company whatever it's called, and it barely got put out into stores and in such limited quality.

Luckily they switched to Devil's Due, who flood stores with Transformers and G.I Joe, so Street Fighter is going to be flooded into stores starting with issue 7.

The trade paperback just came out that has issues 0-6, too.

There's also Devil May Cry and Silent Hill comics, and I think Darkstalkers and Project Justice ones were / are planned?

Sonic...

One of my friends and his brother have several Rubbermaid containers just FULL of mint Sonic comics. It's absurd, how many of those things they have.

Yeah those are out with Street Fighter being the most successful. There is also a Maximo one shot out which is actually pretty good, Devil May Cry and some other I think. Check the Official Monthly Comic Book thread for the Street Fighter trade paperback info.

A TPB would be even more convenient for me. Thanks for the info!

Yeah Nomi, I forgot about those Sonic comics. Archie Comics published a bazillion of them and I think there were a few others done by other publishers. I'm not sure which, if any, are worth having though.

Yeah... They must have over two hundred of those. I honestly can't remember, all I can recall is piles upon piles, all in little plastic things. They weren't really even fans, they just kept getting them.

I read few a few of the specials, but they weren't all that spectacular. A few were alright, though.

BTW: How much does the SF trade cost? What about each issue? I've been out of the comic loop for a while. What do they run nowadays?

I'm quite surprised that Archie's Sonic comic book has lasted as long it did (and still going). I don't think there has been another American comic book based on a videogame (much less, a Japanese franchise like Sonic) that has lasted as long as Sonic.

I know IDW is publishing a Silent Hill mini-series. Konami seems to be heavily involved, juding by the fact that they're having their illustrators do variant covers.

I know a bunch of other old comic series based on games, including localized versions of manga adaptions.

Good luck finding the issues seperately, I'd just go with the TPB.

Nah, I mean regular issues. I'll probably get the trade and pick up the series with #7.
