Comic-Con Debut: 'Marvel vs. Capcom: Official Complete Works' from UDON Entertainment!
Two Titanic Universes Collide In This Spectacular New
Artbook!
UDON proudly presents
Marvel vs. Capcom®: Official Complete Works
Limited Edition Hardcover Debuting July 11th at Comic-Con!
TORONTO, CANADA: An amazing collection nearly 20
years in the making, UDON Entertainment proudly announces the impending release
of Marvel vs. Capcom®: Official Complete Works! This is a
brand-new art book collecting all of the official artwork, sketches, and bonus
material from all of Marvel and Capcom®’s video game collaborations—from 1993’s The
Punisher™ arcade game right up to 2012’s smash-hit Ultimate
Marvel vs. Capcom® 3! Compiled by UDON with the help of
Capcom and Marvel, this is the first time this material has ever been collected
in one place—on either side of the Pacific! It will make its international
debut at Comic Con International: San Diego on Preview Night, Wednesday July
11th!
Weighing in at nearly 200 pages, Marvel vs. Capcom: Official Complete Works has been a labour of love for the UDON production team. Working closely with Capcom creative head Shoei Okano, UDON's Managing Editor Matt Moylan has dug deep through Capcom’s archives to find extremely rare high-resolution art and materials to put together for this project—no easy task considering no Marvel vs. Capcom art book was ever printed in Japan! Includes stunning artworks by Akiman, Bengus, Shinkiro, Joe Madureira, Adi Granov, and more! Complementing the classic pieces is an all-new gallery of stunning Marvel vs. Capcom illustrations by comics superstars including Joe Ng, Long Vo, Chamba, Adam Warren, and Takeshi Miyazawa!
“This book means a lot to UDON,” says Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Erik Ko. “It was back 10 years ago that Joe Quesada at Marvel Comics gave UDON our first freelance job, and kick-started our creative services department. Then just a few years later, we became our own publisher, working closely with Capcom to publish original Street Fighter®comics! Being able to publish a book containing amazing work from both Marvel and Capcom is like a big ‘thank you’ from us to the folks who helped make us what we are today. Thank you Marvel, thank you Capcom!”
Marvel vs. Capcom: Official Complete Works will make its international debut at Comic-Con International: San Diego on Wednesday, July 11th, in an exclusive hardcover edition that will not be sold in stores. The hardcover will feature an exclusive wrap-around cover by UDON and Marvel vs. Capcom artist Alvin Lee and digitally painted by UDON’s Genzoman, and only 200 will be available over the course of the show. A standard-format soft cover release will follow in late November 2012, distributed by Diamond to comics and bookstores everywhere.
