Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 6-9-This exciting, action-packed graphic novelization based on the wildly popular combat video game sets up the characters and circumstances. Ryo discovers Master Gouken in a heinous slump at the dojo; perhaps a rogue student or an evil and fierce enemy assaulted him. As Ryo sets off to investigate, the other characters are involved in subplots that eventually bring them all together. The plot is predictable and a bit trite, but it will appeal to the book's intended audience. The high-impact drawings follow the manga traditions and style. Written characterization is slightly forgone since the characters are well known from the other licensed products. Lots of time is spent developing Ryo as a noble hero whose internal conflict is mirrored by the external fights he faces daily. The appeal of a street fighter to reluctant teen readers will certainly be a good bridge to more substantial material. The low vocabulary and high interest is sure to make this a well-used addition to graphic-novel collections.-Joel Bangilan, Houston Public Library, TX

If you grew up playing Street Fighter games and wanted to know more on the stories of the characters, then THIS IS A DEFINITE MUST PICK UP AND HAVE! Great illustrations with a great storyline to stay true to the characters of the game and brings them to life. Really thought out well and structured greatly. CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT VOLUME, VOLUME 5! :)

The art in this series is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! It's well worth the price tag just to look at all the pretty pictures. But the storyline is excellent as well. If only these guys could be in charge of creating a Street Fighter movie since all the previous ones have been average to suck.
