Get Ready for UDON’s Art of Capcom 2

If you’re a fan of Mega Man and the artistic stylings of UDON Entertainment, then you’re in luck.
Debuting at this month’s San Diego Comic Con will be the 280-page follow-up to the company’s Art of Capcom book, appropriately titled UDON’s Art of Capcom 2. Within its pages, you’ll find the past three years’ worth of the studio’s Capcom-based works of art.

Series covered include Street Fighter, Final Fight, Darkstalkers, Rival Schools, and according to Managing Editor Matt Moylan, you can expect to see some Mega Man in there, too. Also included are the illustrated endings from Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, which featured Roll, Zero, and MegaMan Volnutt as playable fighters. There’s even some promo art from Marvel vs. Capcom 2 in there.

In addition to all of that, UDON also promises “a special tribute gallery created just for this volume, featuring the UDON crew’s unique takes on some classic Capcom franchises.”

The version found at the Comic Con will be hardcover, while a softcover print will be made available to everyone else in August. For those who can’t wait, Amazon.com is even taking pre-orders.
