Streetfighter Legends: Ibuki #1 Preview!

In case you guys have forgotten, Streetfighter Legends: Ibuki #1 hits comic book store shelves tomorrow! Hailing from Udon Comics, this action-packed videogame-based mini-series stars the super-cute superninja Ibuki as she tries to survive a day at school... not easy when you've got a crazy Karate girl and relentless rival ninja after you! Not only does SFLI star the lovable barefoot kunoichi, it also has spunky SF3 karateka Makoto Rindo! It's safe to say that this comic ties-in with the upcoming Super Streetfighter IV game.


A Geki Ninja gets the drop on Ibuki...


Barefoot Ninja beats Tabi Ninja EVERYTIME!


Makoto's a wild card in this apparent Ninja War.

I've been waiting for this comic for months. Based on these preview pages, the comic is at least going to look great. Artist Omar Dogan's art is certainly clean, expressive and colorful. I hope there are lots of good foot shots with the babes' bare soles and toes are flying at our faces. This really looks like an entertaining read, regardless whether you're a footfan, SF-fan, manga/comic-fan or all of the above. In any case, it's sure to be something to occupy us as we wait for the actual Super Streetfighter IV game on our consoles. For now, enjoy the preview pages, and tomorrow- Get the Comic! I know I will. Heheh...

Makoto (Streetfighter, UDON Comics)

The alternate cover art for SF2 Turbo 11, starring everyone's favorite karate girl.

Here's a nice quickie, once again from Capcom's Streetfighter series. While the first issue of Streetfighter Legends: Ibuki is still a few weeks away, right now you can go into your favorite comic store for some barefoot videogame babe action on the printed page. In the just-released Streetfighter II Turbo 11 is a 4-page Streetfighter III back-up story starring none other than the hot-headed karate hottie, Makoto. As with the previous SF3 back-up stories, it's painfully short at just 4 pages, but at least the art is nicely done with clean lines, nice facial expressions and vibrant colors. There aren't as many views of Makoto's pretty bare feet as I'd like, but what is there is well done and worth seeing. Check out two pages of the story below!





If you love Makoto as much as I do or wanna see the whole story, pick up a copy of the issue at your favorite comic store... I mean, how many comics are there that feature the karate hottie anyway? Go get it! Anyway, It's all just a preview for more barefoot videogame babe comic love next month in any case. Let's all keep our fingers crossed that we see the lovely Makoto in action in the upcoming Super Streetfighter IV as well. Later then!

More Streetfighter Legends: Ibuki Artworks!

It's still a bit till us barefoot fans get our SF3 love. Capcom still hasn't let the cat out of the bag about the last few fighters for Super Streetfighter IV, even if the supposed inclusion of Ibuki and Makoto is probably (and hopefully) the worst-kept secret in gaming all year. Anyway, the game hits at the end of April. However, we do get a bit of an early fix as our favorite barefoot ninja babe (and favorite barefoot karate babe) make their comic debut in March, with the release of Streetfighter Legends: Ibuki issue 1 care of UDON Comics.

But of course I've already posted about that, so the main goodies at this point are looks at some newly-found art from this sure-to-be-awesome comic.
The first is a special Convention Cover for Issue 1 made by the series' main artist Omar Dogan.This issue will mostly be available for sale only at conventions and events UDON will be attending to promote the comic. It's a gorgeous piece of art of course, with the lovely Ibuki and her friends spending a day at the beach in sexy swimsuits. Too bad there isn't really a good view of their feet, but at least Ibuki herself gives us a big (if incomplete) closeup of her toes. Man, couldn't he have laid it out so that her whole foot was seen? That would have been awesome. Oh well...

Next up are looks at the covers for Issue 2. The first is a Streetfighter III reunion with Ibuki, Makoto and Elena the Capoeira Princess. Again, too bad Mr. Dogan doesn't draw the girls' feet in full, but at least we do get a nice top view of Makoto's foot, which is quite nicely drawn.


The SF3 Girls Reunite! Cover for Issue 2, by Omar Dogan.

Finally we get an alternate Issue 2 cover from guest cover artist Judy Jong. It features a cute Ibuki just hanging around with her pet tanukis and, by the way, showing off a nice view of her big, beautiful bare foot. I'm sure any foot fan would love to be in the place of any of those tanuki and have the chance to nibble or lick Ibuki's cute toes or soles. I known I would. Heheh...

Anyway that's that. I'm still hoping for Capcom to announce the SF3 girls in SSFIV soon. And of course, this awesome barefoot babe comic. Can't wait! For now though, enjoy the art guys!

Mariko (Torajiro Kishi's Devil from Dark Horse Comics)

Say Hello to the ab-sole-lutely gorgeous Mariko.

Here's a quickie. I found this sole-icious artwork online that I know was made for us foot fans. It's the cover to the second issue of Devil, by manga artist Torajiro Kishi. The comic, which debuts in early 2010, is a sci-fi/manga take on vampirism, in which a Vampire 'virus' is unleashed on the world. The soleful beauty featured on issue 2's cover is the ravishing Mariko, who is apparently the titular 'Devil' and one hell of a hot vampire. If Mariko is barefoot and hot like in the cover for the whole comic, I think I'll be following this series like a brain-hungry zombie.

The comic will be released by Dark Horse Comics, so if you're interested chase it down at your favorite comic stores next year (issue 2, from which the above artwork is the cover, is due out March 2010. For now though, enjoy the artwork and imagine yourself worshipping, touching and kissing Mariko's pale and perfect soles and toes.
