Not only does UDON make great comics based on the Capcom fighting franchises, they also translate the Japanese magna so westerners can enjoy those two. Now they are set to release DARKSTALKERS™ / RED EARTH: MALEFICARUM which is a magna with stories featuring the characters from Darkstalkers and Red Earth. This is probably a books fans really want to pick up as the Red Earth storyline is unknown to many.
Get ready for witches and wolfmen, demons and dinosaurs, knights and vampires – all in one manga! This fall UDON brings two classic Capcom® fighting games together in one action-packed manga title with DARKSTALKERS™ / RED EARTH: MALEFICARUM.
Written and drawn by Mami Itou(ROBOT, Pilgrim Jäger) Maleficarum is video game manga at its best. This standalone volume includes five short stories from across the monstrous Darkstalkers universe, as well as a four-chapter tale featuring the swords & sorcery world of Red Earth. You’ll see succubus Morrigan fight the wolfman Talbain, the devilish Jedah confront vampire lord Demitri, the heroic lion-man Leo questing to cure his cursed body, and several more fantastic tales. Also included are gag strips and artist commentary.
DARKSTALKERS/RED EARTH: MALEFICARUM Vol.1 goes on sales at comic shops and book stores everywhere October 13, 2010.
