As usual, I'm gonna jump right into the good stuff... Cammy! Obviously
it starts with the cover by Yasuhiro Nightow. Don't know that name?
Well, I'm sure you know the games/anime/manga he's created... ever
heard of Trigun or Gungrave? Pretty cool to get a big name like him
to do Cammy. Click on the picture to see a really nice and big version.
Cammy's part of the comic starts out with her and Delta Red meeting
about what Cammy learned from Satuski in the last issue. All the other
DR characters get a lot of attention, and I love that! I think they're
all pretty cool in their own right. Hey, wouldn't it be cool if Cammy
& Delta Red got their own spin-off comic?! ^_^
Anyhow, while they're in their meeting, Dee Jay brings the Dolls Fevrier
and Aprile to help bust out Satsuki. They all fight it out... but
the bad guys manage to get away. And as they're flying off, Satsuki
salutes Cammy (obviously thinking that she's still undercover).
Lots of thoughts on all this. First, it sure is strange seeing Dee
Jay running around with the Dolls. I miss his totally happy-go-lucky
attitude and that GIANT smile. Dee Jay isn't really Dee Jay like this.
I'd like to see more focus on the real Dee Jay cause I've always like
him a a lot. Also, how cool is Luwanda?! Udon is really making her
look like somebody that could be much more than just a back-up character.
Maybe she's a little too cool, and taking away some of Cammy's light?
And I still have no idea what the hell Ginsu's ghost-thing is!! I
hope they're gonna explain that sooner or later. Finally, I was kinda
surprised by Cammy's attitude in all this. Cammy seems so timid, and
that's not like her. Once the action starts, she should be going all-out
and showing some of that foul attitude that she's so famous (infamous)
for.
And there's more on the Dolls in this issue! We see a scene in Hong
Kong with the two Chinese Dolls, Xiayu and Yanyu. They're apparently
the ones behind this whole triad thing and Fei Long. It's pretty cool
seeing the Dolls' storylines develop. However, they don't seem to
have much Cammy in them, and what's really strange is that their Doll
outfits were modified to look a like Chun Li's outfit! Why?
Besides all the Cammy & Doll stuff, we see what happens when Ryu
fights Adon. Adon got some good hits in, but he was so wild and hyped
up that he eventually got smoked by a fireball. Oh well. At first
Sakura wanted to take on Adon, but she made a fool out of herself.
A bit too foolish. Is there any way that I can ever take her seriously
after all this? Doesn't seem like she has any potential at all.
Chun Li finally tracks down Fei Long, and the have a quick little
fight (full of the crotch shots that Chun Li it making herself famous
for). And for the 2nd issue in a row she wore something besides her
tired of blue outfit!! LOL ^_^
The backup storyline, with some awesome art by Lesean Thomas, was
all about the day Adon tried to go from student to master. It takes
place just after Sagat's loses to Ryu, but in the end, the big guy
shows that he's still got it in him! After that, he apparently goes
to India to seek Dhalsim's advice. That's an interesting idea! I love
Sagat, and I like how he's being portrayed. I just hope he really
does get to fight Ryu again, and I hope that the guys at Udon will
have the guts to make him beat Ryu... that would shake up the storyline
and really make it interesting!
