<b> <font color="crimson">Review:</font></b>Well for those of you who read my <b>Street Fighter</b> reviews on a monthly basis, know that I enjoy the book to a certain level, but I have grown a distain for the over use of the character <b>Cammy</b>. So if you have read this issue then you probably have already guessed that I didn’t enjoy it too much because all it entails is Cammy, Cammy, and some more Cammy.

Urgh, come now, this is just becoming ridiculous. Out of all the <b>Street Fighter</b> Characters, how on earth has Cammy become the main focus of this book? We are lucky if we get a page that contains <b>Ryu</b> anymore.

Anyway, this issue deals with Cammy getting kidnapped by her former <b>Shadaloo</b> Agent chicks. They bring her back to headquarters and she begins to regain some of those well forgotten memories. She eventually gets busted out and fights proceed, which is all good, but please…no more Cammy. At least we finally get the introduction of <b>Blanka</b> in this issue.

The art is kind of all over the place. In some places it looks off and in others like the last couple of this issue they are really good.

I am really at a lost for words here all I can say is, <b>“NO MORE CAMMY!”</b>

I'm with you man. I hated this issue. Hopefully we'll get to see more Ryu next issue. MAN, this issue blew.

[Ryan Broussard]

yeah dude i am so close to dropping this book

[tgregory123]

im dropping it now....i hate cammy, i hate her i say

[Ryan Broussard]

i am giving one more issue i think, plus joe mad is doing the cover of the next one anyway

[SamuraiDaddy]

If next issue focuses on Ryu, I'll stick to it, but I'm not picking up another Cammy issue.

[roguestorm]

O GOD FORBID. the streetfighter comic acctually gave another character attention besides ryu!! half the other streetfighter tournaments are dominated by ryu and chun li, these are the only tournaments that flesh out second tier characters like delta red and the dolls is it so hard for you people to just sit through a couple issues of cammyish stories?

[Ryan Broussard]

ummm..a few issues....

Are you reading this book?

I know SD will back me up here, but Cammy has been the focus of more than just a few issues...she dominates this book and leaves hardley any time for any other characters

[tgregory123]

she has dominated at least the last three issues. I dont care if they stray from ryu and ken. I just hate cammy. The Street Fighter verse has way cooler characters than cammy.


I will say that after reading this issue, it wasnt that bad. It was better than the crap they did with Chun Li. Im going to make a in store desicion on keeping this book next month.

[SamuraiDaddy]

And she's so BLEEDIN' BORING. I feel like I want to pluck out my eyes reading Cammy-centric issues. Ryu actually has an interesting backstory while Cammy has a really gross backstory, depending on which SF history you prescribe to. And Ryu's fights are better.

Actually, I liked the team up with Gen and Chun-Li. It gave good insight to the interaction between SF characters. But what Fei Long is doing there, or what he's doing in SF at all, I dunno...

[Ryan Broussard]

long is SF's answer to johnny cage and i dont like it.

Look i like the other characters but there is much to do with Ryu, Ken, Sagat, Akuma, and sakura that they are NOT doing...all i can see Cammy realize she was a killer...OKAY! i get it she was evil i got it WTF is guile huh?

Come one guys

[benbacca37]

I couldn't agree more. I find Cammy incredibly boring and cannot wait for them to focus on some other character. If her story was reduced to 2 issues I would have been fine but this is getting ridiculous. Hopefully, they'll remember that there are other characters in the SF universe. It's a shame really because for the first story arc this book was really great, now it's really drudging along.

[SamuraiDaddy]

Whatever happened to Guile? The last we saw him, he was confronted by his wife and that actually looked interesting. And I want someone to answer my biggest SF question: Who is better, Ryu or Chun Li?

[Ryan Broussard]

def ryu

[AmazingMattMan]

i dont even play cammy in the damn arcades or games....ever
