Udon's Street Fighter II & Exalted #1 Sell Out!

Just one week after the launch of Street Fighter II #1, both the Alvin
Lee and Ed McGuinness covers have completely sold out at Diamond,
despite significant overprinting. Also sold out is the first issue of
UDON's new fantasy title, EXALTED, based on White Wolf's popular RPG
franchise.

"We are extremely happy with the fan response to our new #1s,
especially considering this is UDON's maiden voyage into
self-publishing," says UDON's Chief of Operations, Erik Ko. "Now
we'll continue to try our best to make sure the quality of our books
keep readers coming back for more!"

Ko credits the brisk sales not only to the special $1.99 Street
Fighter II #0, but to heavy cross promotions between UDON and both its
licensors, Capcom and White Wolf. "Both these licensors have been
among the best UDON has ever dealt with," notes Ko. "With their
cooperation, we've placed links and news updates on their sites and
ads in their products, continuing UDON's commitment to attracting
customers from outside the traditional comic market into comic
stores."

UDON will be quickly going back to press on both sold out titles to
fulfill demand and will be providing new covers for the second
printings. EXALTED #1 2nd Printing will feature a new cover by RPG
fan-favorite artist Chris Stevens (which will include the entire cast
of Exalted Solars), while STREET FIGHTER II #1 2nd Printing will have
a new cover by Alvin Lee featuring SAGAT! The new Sagat cover will
replace the Ed McGuinness cover and can be linked with SFII #1 Cover A
(RYU).

UDON will also be extending the recently announced Street Fighter II
RAW Edition incentive offer to retailers for second printing orders.
Beginning with SF II #1, for every 15 copies ordered, retailers will
receive a complimentary RAW edition of that issue (while quantities
last), featuring completely unaltered penciled line art, the complete
script and running commentary by the artist and writer.

Both titles will continue to be promoted online, with the main stories
from STREET FIGHTER II #0 and EXALTED #0 available online in their
entirety so that fans can preview each series for absolutely FREE!
