UDON
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
UDON Entertainment Corporation is a studio (or "art collective") of Asian-influenced comic book creators. Erik Ko is its Chief of Operations. It appears to have begun operations in March 2001. It was affiliated with Studio XD; in March 2004, UDON announced a partnership with Devil's Due Publishing.
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 and in 2007 the relaunch of Darkstalkers. Erik Ko discusses this in an interview with Newsarama that can be read here.
