Best issue yet! Cammy's featured on the cover (both versions), it's
jumbo-sized, and there's a ton of storyline stuff introducing Delta
Red Cammy. I absolutely love this cover by Arnold Tsang! I wish I
had the graphic for just Cammy.
As I thought, Cammy jumped right into Delta Red (they skipped the
3 year wait). And the comic jumps right into action with Delta Red!!
The team is on a train trying to stop some terrorists from kidnapping
a British Cabinet Minister.
Cammy looks like ARSF Cammy, and that's cool, but she's supposed to
be specially trained not to use weapons. But in the end she kicks
the terrorists' butts the old fashioned way. It's 9 pages of all-Cammy
action!! ^_^ And at the end she finds and captures one of the Shadowloo
Dolls, Satsuki. I wonder what they'll do with her, and how they'll
spin it? That's something that the game never gets into.
Later in the comic, we learn a little more about what happened after
Cammy woke up in front of the British Embassy in Italy. Moments later
30 terrorists attacked, and in typical Cammy fashion, she just went
over and kicked all their butts! Cammy's always ready (and looking)
for a fight. They seemed like bad guys, and she was annoyed at the
situation she was in, so it seemed like a good chance to blow off
some steam. ^_^ Anyways, Delta Red arrives and finds that this little
girl already did their job. They took her in, and she instantly became
a part of the team.
After the mission on the train, they all head back to McKoy's house
for dinner. It's REALLY nice to meet the team. They're all pretty
cool characters in their own right. Maybe Delta Red will get their
own spin-off comic?! They could easily do it. Anyhow, there were a
few strange things... what the hell is that cyclops-ghost on Ginsu's
(aka Gims) head? Why did McKoy call Luwanda "Lita"?. Speaking
of Luwanda, I'm very happy they showed her proficiency with knives!
She didn't use her giant sword on the train (probably too cramped),
but I'm hoping they'll use that later on. BTW, in case you don't know
about the sword or the cyclops-ghost-thing, check out this picture...
Aside from Cammy, there were some shotoclone storylines too. Ken's
wife is pregnant with twins, but she's got the flattest stomach in
the world! In SF3 doesn't he old have one son? Ryu and Sakura are
spending their time walking. I'm not interested in either one, but
I think they could balance each other out a bit. Chun Li does some
karate poses in front of her father's grave. And of course she's dressed
up in that same old outfit... besides that one day she wore the SF
Alpha bodysuit, has she worn anything else in the last 13 years?!
Can't she fly one a plane or mourn at her father's grave in something
else?
Fei Long gets introduced in this issue. He's not that bad, but he's
SUCH a Bruce Lee rip-off, so it's hard to respect the character very
much. I hope they add something else to him. And back at Shadowloo
headquarters, Bison is about to wake up from his 'nap'. I wonder what
he'll do when he sees Cammy? How's that gonna work out?
Finally, there's a 4 page mini story featuring the shotoclones training.
Haven't we seen this scene 100 different times?! But I didn't even
bother reading it, so there's not much else I can say...
BTW - There's another fan collection section and fanart page. I didn't
get my stuff together for a picture this time (I'm an idiot for being
lazy!!!), but I'll get on that soon. My Cammy collection is bigger
than anybody else's whole SF collection so far. The fanart section
has one nice Cammy picture, but for the most part it's just a buncha
average stuff featuring the same old average characters. C'mon, I
know you can beat this stuff. Draw your best "Summer Fun"
Cammy pictures and send 'em in to fans@streetfightercomics.com with
the subject FAN ART.
