CAPCOM FIGHTING Jam
It was affiliated with Studio XD; in March 2004, UDON announced a partnership to release comics under Devil's Due Publishing. UDON's first offering was the "Street Fighter" comic book series, launching in September 2003. They would add a "Darkstalkers" comic series to their line in November 2004. In October 2005, UDON reorganized its operations and became a full-fledged publisher. Erik Ko revealed that the lengthy break in the Summer of 2005 was to recover from a licensing deal with Capcom, which saw UDON doing artwork for "Capcom Fighting Evolution". Although UDON appreciated the opportunity to work on the game, and to strengthen their ties with the video game maker, it taxed their resources, and left them behind schedule on their comics. In October 2005, UDON released "Street Fighter II #0", the sequel to their "Street Fighter" comic; it was followed in early 2006 with the long-awaited launch of "Rival Schools". Erik Ko discusses this in an interview with Newsarama that can be read here.
