Fans of Marvel vs. Capcom take note at this recent announcement by Udon Entertainment. During the San Diego Comic-Con, the response to Udon Entertainment’s limited edition hardcover release of Marvel Vs. Capcom: Official Complete Works was really good – with all extra copies selling out on the first day of the show, and the copies they held back for each day of the show selling out in as little as ten minutes. If you missed the chance of getting your hands on a copy… or even just couldn’t attend the event itself…. Here is your chance to get your hands on a copy.
On Saturday, August 4th at 3PM EST, 150 copies of the Marvel vs. Capcom: Official Complete Works limited edition hardcover will be made available for sale at the official UDON web store, http://udonstore.com/. Copies will be sold for their suggested retail price of U.S. $100, plus shipping and handling. Copies will be limited for sale to two per order, and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Here is a brief blurb about the book, alongside its features as sourced from Udon Entertainment:
An amazing collection nearly 20 years in the making, UDON Entertainment proudly presents Marvel vs. Capcom: Official Complete Works! This is a brand new art book collecting all of the official artwork, sketches, and bonus material from all of Marvel and Capcom’s video game collaborations—from 1993’s The Punisher arcade game right up to 2012’s smash-hit Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 for the PlayStation 3, PSP, and Xbox 360 platforms!
Compiled by UDON with the help of Capcom and Marvel, this is the first time this material has ever been collected in one place — on either side of the Pacific! Weighing in at nearly 200 pages, Marvel vs. Capcom: Official Complete Works has been a labor of love for the UDON production team. Working closely with Capcom creative head Shoei Okano, UDON has dug deep through Capcom’s archives to find extremely rare high-resolution art and materials to put together this project — no easy task, considering no Marvel vs. Capcom art book was ever printed in Japan!
Marvel vs. Capcom: Official Complete Works includes stunning artworks by Akiman, Bengus, Shinkiro, Joe Madureira, Adi Granov, and more! Complementing the classic pieces is an all-new gallery of stunning Marvel vs. Capcom illustrations by several comics superstars, including Joe Ng, Long Vo, Chamba, Adam Warren, and Takeshi Miyazawa!
