The iconic characters of Street Fighter are epic and amazing in of themselves. Now, with them suddenly being thrust into a myriad of worlds and settings such as cyberpunk, horror, and space realities, well, the epic-ness has just increased a hundredfold as a result! Start off this summer right with all our favorite World Warriors getting caught in midst of new and interesting situations in worlds aplenty. Personally for me I’m looking forward to them if the cover art is any indication of where Chun-Li and/or Cammy are going. I mean, one giving off strong Savage Land vibes and the other a straight Battletech approach. What’s not to love?!
